Man jailed for nine years for child sexual offences

A man has started a nine year jail sentence for sexually assaulting a child in Stoke-on-Trent.

32-year-old Anthony Ainslie, of no fixed abode, was found guilty of six counts of sexual assault. The offences took place in the Potteries in 2018.

Detectives say they hope the sentencing can bring an element of closure for the victim and their family.
