A man has been jailed for over four years after seriously sexually assaulting a teenage girl in St Austell.

Twenty-five year old Jordan Roberts from Bodmin was found guilty or rape and sexual assault after a trial at Truro Crown Court.

Detective Constable Lauren Manning said: “I would like to pay tribute to the bravery of the victim who was only 14 at the time of the offences.

“She has remained engaged with the police throughout the entire process, which has taken several years, and has given evidence in court.

“Despite the length of time from reporting it, to the matter coming to court, it has been dealt with appropriately today.

“I truly hope this result encourages others to report sexual abuse to us so it can be investigated and they can be assured that they will be listened to and believed.

“And it is important to remember that survivors of sexual offences are protected by law and have life-long anonymity.”
