A man who sexually assaulted a hospital patient was previously guilty of flashing a group of children. Russell Jones was jailed for his behaviour in the grounds of Whiston Hospital in Prescot, Merseyside, last October.
The predator also previously strangled a girl until she was unconscious, according to the Liverpool Echo. The 45-year-old appeared in Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday.
The court heard Jones was going through a "breakdown in his relationship" at the time, as Robert Wyn Jones, prosecuting, described how he "began loitering in the grounds of Whiston Hospital attempting to befriend female patients".
