A man who babysat for a family has been jailed for 10 years after admitting a string of sex attacks on young children.
The offences happened when Alan Potbury, 38, befriended a couple and offered to babysit their three young children, Bristol Crown Court heard.
Potbury, of Weston-super-Mare, took pictures and recorded movies of himself abusing a six-year-old girl.
The court heard that two years earlier he had abused another girl, aged six.
Prosecutor James Ward told the court on Wednesday that Potbury's work colleagues recalled lewd comments the delivery driver would make about customers.
"Alan was called 'Al the paedo' at work," Mr Ward said.
The prosecutor told the court that in 1993 Potbury had accepted a police caution for indecently assaulting a teenage girl under the age of 16.
"That caution in 1993 was the start of a period in Mr Potbury's life which culminated in these serious offences," Mr Ward said.
