One woman received what she described as "the worst beating" at the hands of Hartley, during which she was "crying and begging him to stop".
He added: "He accepts drink and drugs have been a problem over the years, albeit drugs not so recently."Lord Mulholland - who read victim impact statements from three of Hartley's victims - also made him subject to an extended sentence of a further four years after the 10 years' custody.
