A former music teacher has been sentenced to two years and six months in prison after being found guilty of sexually assaulting two girls and possessing four paedophile manuals.
Nicholas Fisher, aged 43 and of Bartestree, Hereford was also found guilty of five counts of making indecent images of children following a trial at Worcester Crown Court.
He pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to making indecent images of children found in a paedophile manual.
He was found not guilty of five counts of sexual assault.
Detective Constable Paul Cowmeadow of West Mercia Police said: "These were offences committed against vulnerable young people by a person in a position of trust, whose duty was supposed to be to protect and safeguard those in his care.
"Anyone who possesses a guide on how to groom or abuse children is clearly a risk to our community and this is demonstrated in Fisher's case by the offences he committed."
Anyone who has information relating to child sexual exploitation or suspicions that someone is using the internet to access indecent images is asked to contact police on 101. If you believe a child is in immediate danger please dial 999.
