A Ferndown man has been sentenced to 11 years and six months in prison for sexual assault and voyeurism offences following courageous testimony from his victims.

Philip Adrian Tubbs, 77, was convicted at Winchester Crown Court after pleading guilty to charges of sexual assault by penetration and two counts of voyeurism.

Dorset Police launched an investigation in August 2024 after a woman in her 20s reported a sexual assault at a property in Ferndown. Tubbs was subsequently arrested and questioned by officers.

Evidence of the sexual assault and voyeurism, involving another victim, was uncovered during a thorough investigation, including examining the defendant's phone.

Detective Constable Liam Moss praised the victims for their bravery, stating their courage has ensured Tubbs faced justice and is now behind bars.

Tubbs has also been subject to an indefinite restraining order and a sexual harm prevention order.

DC Moss emphasised Dorset Police's commitment to investigating sexual offences and supporting victims, urging individuals to report any crime and assuring that they will be supported and listened to.
