    Today the court heard how Matthew Salmon carried out multiple sexual assaults, from kissing to the repeated rape of the girl over a two year period.

    The abuse started when she was just eight-years-old.

    Judge Dickinson QC said she had suffered the "full spectrum of sexual abuse" and that given her age she clearly couldn't have understood how serious it was.

    At these cafes people also have the option of paying a little extra cash for their food, to help provide a meal for another customer who can't afford to pay.

    They can also be vital in helping people with mental disabilities to become part of their community.

    It's this type of "social eating" that the council is supporting and says it hopes to see more cafes like this open in 2017.

    East Midlands Today Reporter

    I've been down to the Crocus Cafe in Lenton - Nottingham's oldest community cafe.

    It's a not-for-profit cafe and uses surplus foods from supermarkets that would otherwise be thrown away.

    Crocus Cafe

    There are currently 20 similar cafes or "super kitchens" like this in the county and now Nottingham City Council says it wants to have one in every area by the end of the year.
