A PERVERTED Hampshire man has been jailed after being found guilty of two sexual assaults on an underage girl.

Stuart Blackwell was sentenced to a total of 26 months imprisonment at Winchester Crown Court last Friday for sexually touching a teenager under the age of consent.

The 54-year-old was found guilty of sexually touching the child on two separate occasions, including one in March this year, for which he was given 16 months, and another in 2011, for which he was handed a 26 month prison sentence.

However both sentences will run concurrently meaning Blackwell will only face 26 months in prison.

A third charge of sexual assault against Blackwell, of Launcelot Close, Andover, was dismissed, but will be taken in to consideration if he offends again.
