A man has been jailed for 13 years for sexually assaulting two children.
Lee Lomas, 47, (pictured) raped one of the girls and incited sexual activity with the other.
Both of his victims were under the age of 13 when Lomas preyed on them.
He was arrested in Blackpool in May 2025 after the victims had disclosed to their parents what had happened.
Lomas, of no fixed address, appeared for sentence at Preston Crown Court last Friday after pleading guilty at an earlier hearing to rape of a child under the age of 13, inciting sexual activity with a child under 13, and possession of indecent images of children.
He was jailed for a total of 13 years, made subject of a 20-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order and was put on the sex offenders register for life.
Det Con Jon Porter of West Division CID, said: “Lee Lomas committed abhorrent offences against two young victims and will now serve a lengthy sentence of imprisonment.
“The children were very brave in telling their parents what had happened and the offences were reported to us.
“If you have been a victim of sexual assaults or know someone who has been, please report it to Lancashire Police.
“We will support you and investigate thoroughly in order to bring offenders to justice.”
