The 63-year-old radio DJ denied all five charges.

Former Radio 1 sports announcer Mark Page has had his prison sentence increased for child sex offenses. He will have to serve not 12 years, but the full 18 years.

He was found guilty of arranging sex with children in March, a Teesside Crown Court judge sentenced the radio DJ to 12 years in prison. An appeals court reversed that decision upward because the sentence was deemed too lenient.

Page, 63, denied the five charges but the jury found him guilty on four of them, writes the Mirror.
