Description
A man has been jailed after being found guilty of sexually assaulting a child.
Adam Hardman, 39, from Norley Road in Leigh appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on 16 December to be sentenced.
Hardman was found guilty at an earlier hearing of two counts of assault by touching which had occurred in Warrington.
He was sentenced to four years in prison, ordered to sign the sex offenders register and handed a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
DC Caroline Wharmby said:
“Hardman took advantage of his situation to sexually assault a child betraying the trust of the child and the family.
“I’d like to commend the victim for showing such bravery in coming forward to report the two incidents and bringing this man to justice for his despicable actions.”
