A man convicted of a catalogue of sex crimes against three boys and a girl has been told to expect a "lengthy" jail sentence.
Robin Leonard Burrows (54) was found guilty by a jury unanimously of 20 offences, including two of raping the girl when she was aged between six and nine.
The children were aged between four and 15 when the abuse was committed, at various locations in Leicester, between 1979 and 1987.
Burrows, of Jasmine Court, off Saffron Road, South Wigston, denied all the allegations, claiming nothing happened.
He claimed the victims, no adults, had "concocted" the offences.
Burrows was found guilty of eight offences of indecent assault on a male aged between eight and 15, and two of attempting to commit a serious sexual offence upon the same child.
He was convicted of two counts of sexual assault upon a six year old boy.
Burrows was also found guilty of one offence of indecency with a child, and two counts of indecent assault, upon a third boy, aged between four and 11 years.
He was further convicted of two counts of raping a girl and three offences of indecently assaulting her, between the ages of six and nine.
The Leicester Crown Court case was adjourned for the preparation of a pre-sentence report.
Sentencing was adjourned to January 15, to take place at Derby Crown Court, where the trial judge Ebraham Mooncey will then be sitting.
The judge told Burrows: "A lengthy sentence will follow."
Mary Prior, prosecuting in the trial, told the jury the historical sex abuse allegations came to light when the police were informed in May last year.
He was charged in relation to the offences in January and February this year.
In interview he said no sexual activity had ever taken place.
