A PERVERT has been jailed for more than five years.

Mark Napper, of Tylney Road, Bromley, was sentenced to five and a half years in prison at Croydon Crown Court.

He denied four counts of indecent assault on a female and two counts of committing gross indecency with a child.

The 40-year-old was found guilty of all the attacks, which took place between 1997 and 2000, and received four years imprisonment for the six offences.

In further sentencing, he pleaded not guilty to three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

He was found not guilty of one of these charges and not guilty of another at the judge's direction, but received 18 months for the third.

He admitted a further charge of destroying property, for which he received a six-month sentence, to run concurrently with his 18-month sentence.

Napper was found not guilty of two counts of sexual activity without consent.
