A ROSS-ON-WYE man has been jailed for three years for a series of sexual offences.

Malcolm Tweeddale, aged 45, of Walford, Ross, had denied four counts of sexual activity with a child, one count of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and causing a child to watch a sexual act.

He was found guilty after a trial last month.

Neil Treharne, defending, said his client’s offending was rooted in alcohol problems.

He had enlisted groups to help him overcome his problems.

Tweeddale will also have to sign on the sex offenders register when he is released.
