Bolingbroke was also handed an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order and a restraining order.
DC Annette Renwick said: “Bolingbroke is an incredibly dangerous offender who has left the children he sickeningly abused with lasting mental scars. They have been so brave in giving their evidence.
“Bolingbroke preyed on their vulnerability, and I hope this sentence gives them and their families some comfort and the opportunity to move on with their lives.”
Bolingbroke attacked the child in June 2020 and the offences came to light in October of that year.
