A man has been imprisoned for the attempted rape of a woman in Bognor, Sussex Police said.

Sorin-Alexandru Mandache, 24, a landscape gardener, of no fixed address, was sentenced at Portsmouth Crown Court today (October 4) after admitting three counts of attempted rape at a previous hearing, police said.

He was sentenced to four years and eight months imprisonment. It was reduced by the court due to his early guilty plea, police added.
