Detective Inspector Louise Sproson from Hartlepool CID said: “Rochester is a violent individual who caused significant injuries to his victims.
“Cleveland Police welcome this lengthy sentence which will give him time to reflect on what he has done.
"Together with the support of victims we can bring offenders to justice and keep the community of Hartlepool safe from individuals like Rochester.”
