The 63-year-old was found guilty on October 29, following a trial at Basildon Crown Court.

A victim impact statement was read out in court prior to McKenzie being jailed for two years and eight months.

The statement said: “I felt trapped in a box in my head and at times felt I would be better dead to get peace.

“I was made to believe I was to blame for this and I’ve had little confidence. I question every decision and even suffered three miscarriages and feel these are due to the trauma I kept inside.

“For a long time I hated being alone. I believed I didn’t deserve anything and deserved what happened to me.”

McKenzie was found not guilty of rape during the trial.

Sentencing McKenzie, Judge Shane Collery, said: “While she consented, she was immature and didn’t realise it was wrong until later.

“It was reported in 2019 and later in life the emotional affect hit her. It caused her considerable affects for years including worry, feeling worthless and better dead.

“There was an element of manipulative behaviour.

There’s been no other offending like this and his health is poor.”

He slammed McKenzie for making the victim and her family relive the pain through the trial.

He was jailed for two years and eight months.
