TWO paedophile brothers have been jailed for at least seven years each for what a judge described as "sexual depravity against children on a huge scale".
Graham Potter, 40, and half-brother Damien Barker, 22, carried out a sickening two-year orgy of abuse against a boy and girl as young as five.
Potter was jailed indefinitely after he admitted a catalogue of sex crimes including offences against another young boy and girl in the late 1990s. He will serve a minimum of seven years before a parole board can consider his release.
Barker, of Custom House, who has a reading age of a five-year-old, was jailed for seven years.

Describing the abuse he suffered at Potter's hands from the age of five he said: "It happened a lot, more than ten times and on other occasions."
