A BARROW man has been found guilty of sexual assaults after a trial.

Jeffery Ronald Richardson, 37, of Severn Road, denied two charges of sexual assault and one assault by penetration, from October 6 in Barrow, when he appeared at Preston Crown Court last week.

After hearing the evidence, jurors found him guilty of all three charges, against two women, on February 15.

Richardson, who had initially been restrained by a man living near to the scene of the incident, will return to the court on March 16 for sentencing.
