A LANDFORD man has been sentenced to at least four years in prison for sexually assaulting women and girls.

Joe Dukes, 32, of Landford, was sentenced at Southampton Crown Court on Wednesday for four charges of sexual assault.

He pleaded guilty to three charges of inappropriately touching a 13-year-old-girl, a 14-year-old girl and a woman 16 or over in Salisbury. The incidents happened on June 15 in the Maltings area and in Brown Street.

He was also found guilty, following a trial, of the sexual assault of a woman in Southampton in October last year.

He was sentenced to four years in prison with an extension period of up to another four years if he’s deemed not safe to be released and will remain on the sex offenders register for life.
