A ZIMBABWEAN man has been jailed for three years in England for having sex with two under age girls.

Blessing Mwenye, 29, had already pleaded guilty to having sex with a 15-year-old girl in Manchester last month when he entered a guilty plea for a similar offence in Blackburn last Friday.

Mwenye, of Burnley Road, Blackburn, was told by a judge that his name had been placed on a sex offenders register FOR LIFE.

He admitted sexual activity with a 15 year old girl in Blackburn on March 4 this year and a similar offence involving another girl of the same age in Manchester.

Nicholas Kennedy, defending, said Mwenye had not set out to target the girls.

Regarding the Blackburn offence, the girl was 21 days off her 16th birthday, and she was all but a consenting adult.

Mr Justice Flaux told Mwenye he accepted there had been no threats, but one victim was vulnerable and Mwenye was nearly twice her age.
