A man who carried out sexual attacks against three girls in Brighton has been sent to jail as police praised his victims' bravery for giving evidence against him in court.
Anthony Calway, 49, unemployed, now of Bayham Road, Hailsham, was given a sentence totalling three years and 10 months at Lewes Crown Court on 26 March.
Police said he'd been convicted of sexually assaulting three girls aged between 18 and 12.
He will be a registered sex offender for life and was also given a Sexual Harm Prevention Order, to last until a further court order, severely restricting his access to children.
Detective Constable Elaine Welsh of the Brighton Safeguarding Investigations Unit said:
"Calway, who lived in Brighton at the time the offences were committed there four years ago, knew his victims and was able to have unsupervised access to them which the court found that he used for his own sexual gratification.
"They bravely supported our investigation and gave evidence against Calway in court which helped bring him to justice.
"We will always investigate such reports and ensure that those who make them receive specialist support."
