A WOMAN'S call to the police, to report a man walking around naked in the flat opposite hers, led to the uncovering of a string of sexual assaults on a 12-year-old boy. The man, a 68-year-old freelance magician, who was teaching the boy magic, had talked the secondary school student into engaging in sex acts with him. On Tuesday, the man was jailed six years for the offences in July and August last year. The man, who is divorced with children, had pleaded guilty in May to four counts of sexual assault. Another 11 charges were taken into consideration. The penalty for sexual assault is up to 20 years' jail and a fine or caning. Men above the age of 50 cannot be caned.
