Barron, formerly of Grove, Oxon, was 54 when sentenced in 2007.
Jailing him Judge Julian Hall called him a 'plausible, predatory paedophile', adding: 'This is as serious a series of offences as I think I've ever come across.'
The court heard he targeted 11 girls aged from three to 12 over nine years from 1997.
