A man who sexually assaulted a woman in her 80s has been jailed for more than three years.
Paul Herbert, aged 43, of Plym Close, Aylesbury, was jailed for three years and four months yesterday (7/6) at Aylesbury Crown Court.
At the same court, Herbert was found guilty by a unanimous jury of two counts of sexual assault by touching following a three day trial, ending on 24 May.
Herbert was also sentenced to a sexual harm prevention order.
During the summer of 2017, Herbert sexually assaulted the victim, a woman in her eighties, on two separate occasions, near to High Wycombe.
Investigating officer Detective Sergeant James Wood said: "Paul Herbert took advantage of a vulnerable woman, who did not consent to any activity.
"I want to commend the victim and her family for their bravery in coming forward and reporting what was understandably an extremely upsetting assault.
"Hopefully this jail sentence will provide the victim and her family some comfort.
"Our team worked tirelessly to get this case to court and obtain justice for them. We take all reports of sexual offences extremely seriously and will relentlessly pursue perpetrators."
