Grimsby: Man jailed for sexual assaults on woman and 12-year-old girl

Lee, of no fixed abode, was jailed for two years and ordered to sign the sex offenders register

A man who tricked a young girl into helping him look for something in his bag before sexually assaulting her has been jailed.

Humberside Police said Ken Lee, 45, also sexually assaulted a woman in a separate incident and exposed himself to officers after being arrested.

Lee, of no fixed abode, admitted multiple charges including sexual assault at an earlier hearing.

He was jailed for two years at Grimsby Crown Court on Monday.

Police said in one incident in Grimsby last year, Lee had been walking with a woman when he pinned her against a wall and sexually assaulted her.

In a separate incident in the town, he sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl, a spokesperson said.

Following his arrest, Lee was taken into custody where he indecently exposed himself to officers.

Det Con Lucy Proctor-Eckley said: "Lee is a perverted individual, who believed he could act for his own sexual gratification and face no repercussions.

"He has shown no remorse, and disregarded the impact which his actions have had on the victims, their families and the wider community."

She added: "I would like to praise the victims for coming forward and for the bravery and courage which they have shown over the course of the investigation."

Lee was ordered to sign the sex offenders register for 10 years.
