FORMER Worcestershire County Council leader George Lord has been jailed for four years for a series of sexual assaults.
The 79-year old was sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court this morning (Tuesday).
We reported last month how Lord had pleaded guilty to three charges of indecent assault on a girl in the 1970s when he performed a number of sexual acts on the teenager.
He had already been found guilty of sexually assaulting a 19-year-old in the council chamber at Worcestershire County Council in 2010.
Lord was told he will spend at least half of his four year sentence in jail.
