A Ferndown man has been jailed after admitting sexual assault and voyeurism offences.
Philip Adrian Tubbs, 77, of Ferndown, was sentenced at Winchester Crown Court on Friday to 11 years and six months in prison, and he was also given an indefinite restraining order and a sexual harm prevention order.
The investigation began in August 2024, after a woman aged in her 20s reported that she had been sexually assaulted at an address in Ferndown, and Tubbs was later arrested and interviewed by officers.
Further work by detectives, including an examination of Tubbs’ phone, found evidence of the sexual assault and voyeurism offences involving another victim, and he later pleaded guilty to sexual assault by penetration and two counts of voyeurism.
Detective Constable Liam Moss, of Dorset Police, said the first victim’s decision to report what happened was vital, and he praised both victims for their strength during the case.
He said: “We are here to support you and listen.”
