A KNUTSFORD dentist has been jailed for sexually assaulting a woman.

Roger Klein, of Regent Cosmetic Dental Practice in Malt Street, was given a 15 month sentence today, Friday, at Manchester Crown Court.

The 41-year-old, who is married, was found guilty on July 23 following an incident in Lymm on April 13, 2009.

Manchester Crown Court heard that Klein, of Lady Acre Close, Lymm, pinned a woman down on her bed and rubbed himself against her.

Klein's case has also been referred to the General Dentistry Council which could rule to strike him off.

Judge Rudland said that Klein is likely to serve six months of his 15 month sentence.
