An ex choir leader who lived in a Hampshire village under a different name after abusing boys in the USA has been jailed.
Roger Giese, 49, has been handed a sentence of 24 years for sexually abusing boys, the BBC reports.
It comes after he was embroiled in a long legal battle against extradition to the United States, which he lost.
He absconded from the USA in 2007 where he was due to face trial in California.
He was arrested in the UK in 2014 while he was living in Broughton under a different name with a woman who did not know his true identity.
Giese was working as a PR director in Hampshire at the time of his arrest.
He pleaded guilty at a California court to several offences, with at least one of his two victims a choirboy in the All-American Boys Chorus where Giese was a vocal coach, according to USA media reports.

In a reported plea deal, he admitted 20 offences committed between 1997 and 1999 which included 10 lewd acts on a child aged 14 or 15 and six lewd acts with a minor.
He appeared on the FBI wanted list in 2010 after he fled in a bid to evade the authorities.
The following year, an anonymous tip was made that he might be in the UK.
In 2015 - the year after he was arrested - the High Court refused an extradition request by the US government.
It said Giese might be subject to indefinite confinement in California which would infringe his human rights.
He was eventually extradited in 2018 after failing to persuade judges that his human rights might also be infringed by the risk of prison violence.
