Anthony Stocks was trying to silence the brother of a girl he had been sexually abusing.
A paedophile who raped a girl and threw her brother off a 100ft cliff to "silence him" has been jailed for life.
A jury at Oxford Crown Court found him guilty of attempted murder and sexual offences and he was told he would have to serve a minimum of 20 years. Det Sgt Jemma Paterson, from Sussex Police, said she was "shocked" to find the boy had survived the fall on 24 September. While Sussex Police investigated what happened in Ovingdean, Thames Valley Police discovered the boy's sister had been sexually abused by Stocks for three years.
She said it was "one of the worst cases of child abuse" she and her team had ever investigated, adding that Stocks, a former extra in the Star Wars franchise, was "incredibly predatory".
