A man from Birmingham has been put behind bars for six years, and will be on the sex offender register for life.

Sean Sewell, 46, from Newtown was caught after assaulting a girl in Birmingham city centre.

Sewell was charged with exposure and sexually assaulting a child.

He plead guilty to both and at Birmingham Crown Court on Friday (July 10) and was jailed for six years and five months and will be on the sex offender register for life.
