A sex attacker from Felixstowe who attacked a child has been jailed for 13 years by a judge at Ipswich Crown Court.

Joshua Marczell, of Leeward Court, Felixstowe, was convicted by a jury in December after denying carrying out a violent physical and sexual assault on a child under 13.

The cost had heard how the 27-year-old had inflicted horrific injuries, including a broken arm, on the child which were discovered when they were taken to hospital.

Sentencing Marczell, Judge David Pugh said: "It's difficult to imagine the distress and pain this child must have endured."

The judge labelled Marczell as dangerous and posed a high risk of causing serious harm to children by the commission of further offences in the future and imposed an extended licence period of three years.

In addition to jailing Marczell Judge Pugh made him the subject of a sexual harm prevention order until further order and ordered him to sign the sex offenders' register for the same period.

He also banned him from contacting the victim and his family until further order.
