TWO men have been sentenced after sexually assaulting a woman in a Herefordshire town.

Kevin Morgan and Peter Gallimore appeared before magistrates in Hereford for sentencing in June after they were each found guilty of one count of sexual assault on a female at an earlier hearing.

The court heard from prosecutor Mark Hambling that 57-year-old Morgan and 67-year-old Gallimore had intentionally sexually touched a woman aged 16 or over when she did not consent and when they did not reasonably believe she was consenting in Leominster on August 11.

The victim cannot be named for legal reasons.
