A PERVERT has been jailed for almost two years for sexually assaulting a girl aged just four in South Harrow.

Kenneth Williams carried out the attack on the child victim on April 30 of this year in a flat on the Rayners Lane Estate. The 45-year-old was sentenced on Friday to 21 months in jail, to which the 19 days he spent on remand in prison will count.

He had denied six counts of sexual assault of a girl under 13 but was convicted of two by a jury and acquitted of the other four.

In addition to imprisonment, Williams, of Radcliffe Road, Hitchin, Hertfordshire, was ordered to sign the sex offenders’ register for 10 years, had a sexual offences prevention order imposed on him and received an automatic disqualification from working with children for life.
