Nicholas Burgess, 52, was found guilty of the offences by a jury following a trial at Shrewsbury Crown Court last month.

Burgess, of no fixed address but previously of New Street, Wem, was convicted of five counts of sexually assaulting a child – and one count of inciting a child into sexual activity.

The charges all relate to offences in Shifnal.

Judge Peter Barrie sentenced Burgess to seven years in prison for the abuse. He will also be made subject to a sexual harm prevention order.
