Joseph Mcann, from Aylesbury is accused of 21 crimes, including eight rapes

He has been charged with the kidnap of eight alleged victims between the ages of 11 and 71.

Mcann, 34, is accused of eight rapes, two charges of false imprisonment, one charge of actual bodily harm and four kidnappings.

On top of this there are six other sexual offences he has been accused of.

These include rape of a boy under 13 years of age and six other rapes.

All charges have been brought in connection with a series of alleged offences committed between 21 April and 6 May. Yesterday, a judge visited the alleged serial sex attacker Joseph McCann for a hearing in Belmarsh prison after he refused to attend court. The Judge had authorised the use of force to ensure Mr Mcann attended court, however this didn't happen.

It is believed to be an unprecedented decision to perform the hearing in prison.

He is alleged to have kidnapped some of his alleged victims, three of whom are under 18, before sexually abusing them.
