Glenn Barker was jailed for eight years after he admitted sexually assaulting two young girls more than 20 years apart.

Barker, of Beeleigh Way, Caister-on-Sea, appeared at Norwich Crown Court to be sentenced having admitted sexual assault of a child under 13 on August 14, 2020.

Barker appeared at court on Friday, June 17, having also admitted two offences of indecent assault against another girl, aged between seven and nine, between June 2000 and June 2003.

Claire Matthews, prosecuting, said the victim in the offence committed in August 2020 was a young child who had been left "scared".

The court heard Barker had bribed his victims, neither of whom can be identified for legal reasons, with sweets and urged them to keep secret what had happened.

Barker was prevented from contacting both victims directly or indirectly indefinitely.

He was also ordered sign on the sex offenders register indefinitely and made the subject of an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO).

A burglar who shares his name with The Godfather film mafia don has been jailed after being spotted inside a house by an alert window cleaner.

The burglar, who shares his name with The Godfather film mafia don, was caught after he was chased and bitten by a police dog called Rodney as he tried to flee from the house on Longdell Hill in Costessey.

The dog and its handlers had been called to the area after a window cleaner became suspicious when he saw two people inside a property.

Smith - whose first and middle names echo Vito Corleone, the character played by Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro in The Godfather series - admitted carrying out the burglary, which occurred on November 19 last year, at a hearing at Norwich Crown Court last month.

He also admitted to breaching a restraining order, relating to a former partner, on February 26 this year.

Appearing before the court to be sentenced on Tuesday, June 14, Smith, who has 17 previous convictions for 31 offences including burglary, was jailed for a total of two years and three months.
