Before Alexander was sentenced, the court heard statements written by his victims in which they described how his crimes have impacted their lives. One of the victims said: "Alexander’s abusive behaviour has had a massive impact on me growing up. "I felt that I had to grow up faster and I couldn’t be the child that I wanted to be. As I grew older, I always felt so nervous about new relationships and I felt ashamed of my body. Sentencing judge, Recorder Crooknorth, told Alexander: "The victims have both shown immense courage in the face of something you put them through.
