An evil babysitter's wickedness and abuse has been brought to light after he abused two children placed in his care for many years before the abused mustered courage to expose him.
The boy was tied naked to a chair for days
It has been revealed how an evil babysitter kept a boy of seven in his care tied naked to a chair in his room. It was not just only him, the boy's sister was also abused. The Paedophile named Harvey Sayles he locked the youngster "screaming, shouting and crying" in the darkened dungeon for up two days at a time over four years with just bread and water to eat.
According to Dailystar, he bound him to a chair with rope, chained his arms together then performed a sex act in the corner. Sayles claimed it was punishment for the boy misbehaving.
He didn't stop there, the man also sexually assaulted the youngster's eight-year-old sister upstairs.
When the siblings were in their teens in the 1990s they went to South Yorkshire Police to complain about their ordeals but were told: "It's too late to do anything."
The boy, now 38, made another complaint two years ago after his sister made several failed suicide bids for which she blamed their ex-babysitter's vile antics.
Yesterday Sayles, now 51, was jailed for 14 years at Sheffield Crown Court after he was convicted of three specimen charges of falsely imprisoning the boy, three indecent assaults on him and six on his sister following a trial.
It emerged he was jailed for a year in 2004 after he being found guilty of downloading indecent images of children from porn sites which included young girls being tied up for sex.
Judge Michael Murphy branded his behaviour 'controlling, callous and devious in the extreme'.

The judge also ordered him to register as a sex offender for life and banning him indefinitely from working with children. The siblings were regularly left with Sayles - then in his 20s - and his wife at their Barnsley home for weekends while the children's parents ran a market stall.
He struck while his wife was out or asleep.
The male victim told the jury: "I used to get stripped off with no clothes and was taken downstairs to his cellar.
"I was tied sometimes with a rope or chain to his chair. I was there numerous hours if not overnight with only bread and water.
"It was only a very small, damp, wet cellar.
"I was screaming, shouting and crying.''
Sayles denied he had any sexual interest in children, insisted he had downloaded indecent images by accident and claimed the pair were lying and 'jumping on the Jimmy Savile bandwagon'.
