At around 9pm that night, Wade woke his victim up after he'd inappropriately touched her while she slept.

On Thursday (22 February), at Peterborough Crown Court, Wade, of Mendip Grove, Peterborough, was jailed for two years and eight months, having been found guilty of assault by penetration.
DC Andrew Donaldson said: “Wade took advantage of the victim while she was sleeping so I am glad he has been jailed.
"I would like to thank the victim for her bravery in coming forward and attending court to give evidence almost three years after the offence.
“Sexual crimes have a massive impact on victims, and we take all allegations very seriously. We would encourage victims to come forward – you will be treated sensitively and supported.”
