BBC News Online
A Jersey man has been sentenced to seven years in prison after pleading guilty to two
counts of indecent assault, one count of attempting to pervert the course of
justice and one count of possessing indecent images of children.
Nathan Thomas John Jordan, aged 34, committed the offences between 2010 and 2012.
He was also placed on the Sex Offenders Register for 10 years as well as receiving a 10-year restraining order.
The two women involved were both in their 20s at the time and both women were known to Jordan.
However, he betrayed their trust and
subjected them to many forms of abuse over the space of several years, the Royal Court heard.
Acting Inspector Cathy Davison, head of the Public Protection
Unit said the women were exposed to Jordan’s "controlling and coercive
behaviour" and have shown "immense strength and courage" in
reporting the abuse.
