A 52-year-old man who sexually assaulted four teenage girls has been jailed for two and a half years.

Wayne Mitchell of Haddon Road in Grantham was convicted of six counts of sexual assault when he appeared before court officials last September.

The offences took place over a two-year period, the court was told.

Mitchell has today been sentenced to two and a half years behind bars for his crimes when he appeared for sentencing on Friday, 15 March.

Detective Constable Farah Khan of Lincolnshire Police said: “The result of this case demonstrates that this behaviour will not be tolerated in Lincolnshire, and we will pursue every line of enquiry at our disposal to bring offenders like Mitchell to justice.

"We’d like to pay tribute to those involved in this case who have helped us with our investigation.”

“We would encourage anyone who has had a similar experience to get in touch with us. We will treat you with empathy, understanding and respect.”
