A REDDITCH man has been jailed for a string of sexual offences, including two counts of sexual assault on a girl under the age of 13.
Stephen Higgitt, of Glebe Close, had previously been found guilty of two counts of assault on a female child under 13 by penetration, three sexual assaults on a female by penetration and one charge of sexual assault on a female with no penetration.
At sentencing at Truro Crown Court on Tuesday, October 10, Judge Simon Carr said the 60-year-old showed no remorse for the offences, which took place between 2008 and 2013.
He was sentenced to 14 years, which he will serve concurrently.
