A Lancaster man has been jailed for more than five years for sexually assaulting a woman.

Timothy Talbot-Johnstone, 53, was sentenced to five years and three months when he appeared before a judge at Preston Crown Court.

Lancashire Police launched an investigation after the victim made a complaint against Talbot-Johnstone.

She reported that he had punched her in the stomach soon after she’d had a surgical procedure.

The victim made a further report of sexual assault.

Talbot-Johnstone, formerly of The Piazza, Lancaster, was found guilty by a jury of assault causing actual bodily harm after a trial in September last year.

He then pleaded guilty to an offence of sexual assault at a hearing last December.

Talbot-Johnstone was jailed and given a 10-year restraining order.
