A WOMAN'S call to the police, to report a man walking around naked in the flat opposite hers, led to the uncovering of a string of sexual assaults on a 12-year-old boy.

The man, a 68-year-old freelance magician, who was teaching the boy magic, had talked the secondary school student into engaging in sex acts with him.

On Tuesday, the man was jailed six years for the offences in July and August last year.
