Man jailed for sex assault

A man who fled to Ireland after being charged with sexually assaulting a woman after a party at her house in Luton nearly five years ago has been jailed.

Declan Bushby, 45, was this week jailed for a total of two years and 10 months after admitting he had touched the victim while she was sleeping.

Luton Crown Court heard he finally returned from Cork in January this year and handed himself in to the police.
