A Lancaster man has been sentenced to prison for sexually assaulting a woman and physically attacking her shortly after she underwent surgery.
The victim reported the incidents to police, stating that Timothy Talbot-Johnstone punched her in the stomach shortly after her surgical procedure.
She made a further report of sexual assault.
Talbot-Johnstone, formerly of The Piazza in Lancaster, was found guilty by a jury of assault causing actual bodily harm after a trial in September last year.
He then pleaded guilty to an offence of sexual assault at a hearing last December.
At a hearing on March 31, Talbot-Johnstone, 53, was sentenced to five years and three months in prison.
He was also issued a 10-year restraining order to prevent any further contact with the victim.
