Paedophile Nigel King was re-sentenced to serve a three-year community rehabilitation order for sex offenders in Swindon Crown Court.

The 44-year-old, formerly from Thames Avenue, was jailed for nine months two weeks ago after sexually abusing a seven-year-old girl between 1993 and 1995.

But Judge John McNaught had imposed a sentence beyond his powers and apologised for the error.
