AN Ellenbrook man has been jailed for the sexual assault of a young girl in December 2021.

Callum Ferris Davies was sentenced to 18 years in prison on Tuesday, March 25 in the Perth District Court.

The 28-year-old had faced charges of sexual penetration of a child under 13 as well as
deprivation of liberty, impeding

He will be eligible for parole.
