And now the news for the East Midlands,

A man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for the sexual abuse

Matthew Salmon was found guilty of nine child sex offences,

The case only came to light after the NSPCC held a special

The lesson persuaded her to come forward and ended

It was in a classroom just like this one where a girl finally

plucked up the courage to tell her teachers

about the sexual abuse she'd been suffering.

This week, the NSPCC's visiting schoolchildren here

in Nottingham, but it was three years ago in Sandiacre

in Derbyshire where concerns were raised

The following investigation led to the sentencing

of this man, 29-year-old Matthew Salmon from St Ann's in

Today he was given 15 years in jail and a further year on

licence, for nine sexual offences against a child.

It's been the most horrific catalogue of sexual abuse

that I've ever had to investigate on a child.

Hopefully this will go some way to giving a little

bit of closure for the family, and help them move on and

Today the court heard how Matthew Salmon carried out multiple

sexual assaults, from kissing to the repeated rape of a girl,

The abuse started when she was just eight years old.

Judge Dickinson QC said she'd suffered the full spectrum of sexual

abuse and that, given her age, she clearly couldn't

have understood how serious it was.

The NSPCC team which helped to uncover this abuse says

cases like this highlight the need to raise awareness.

Sometimes people who are abused don't actually

realise what's happened to them is wrong, because to them it is normal.

But they need to understand it's wrong.

Our parents support it because they recognise and

appreciate that it is important that all children can speak out if they

And they want their children to feel like they cando that.

And they want their children to feel like they can do that.

Now, because they've told it to us, we can spread it to other

children if they're having worries and then they can know what to do.

Not many people knew about ChildLine.

But now they're coming to different schools

then a lot more children are knowing.

If we get worries and it's getting too big for

us to handle, then we can always turn to someone.

Today has been a bittersweet moment for the team, who

say the horrendous nature of cases like this remind them how important

at the city's cathedral, with ten primary schools involved.

I felt sad because I've got things that I want,

Children like me should be able to play and get a good education,

but they're not, they're doing hard work.

It made me feel sad and lucky at the same time.

That's your news from the East Midlands, so it's goodbye from me.

But with your weather now, here's Kaye.

Thank you it has been a pleasure. I wish I was ending my forecast with

gorgeous clear blue shut skies and plenty of sunshine but alas we've

hit the nail on the head with this photograph. Grey, overcast skies

with outbreaks of rain and drizzle, and that is sadly how it will stay

into tomorrow. A lot of cloud about. It is staying quite mild. The bigger

picture, still high pressure in charge. Feeding in, all that cloud

and bits of drizzle two. Further south there is a hard frost but it

won't get that cold until the weekend. Overnight to night will

remain cloudy, misty, murky. Outbreaks of rain and drizzle as

well. Winds remain light and temperatures will not get much lower

than four or 5 degrees. There won't be a frost tomorrow morning. But it

will be cloudy, grey, overcast. The winds will remain light on the

temperatures are not doing too badly. But I'm afraid not so much in

the way of sunshine. That is how it is set to stay Friday as well. By

Friday will get temperatures starting to drop off. Around about

six to Greece. Then into the weekend will get the risk of overnight frost

with things turning much colder. That's it

next few days, no great changes over the next few days, more sunshine on

the way. Despite high-pressure sitting across

the country so only slow changes in the weather, we have had a variety

of different weathers, for example this beautiful sunset in Southampton

which was shared by a Weather Watcher, but grey and misty in Derby

thanks to an awful lot of cloud around and very little deviation by

day or night from the rather grey routine.

That is because we have a weather front, albeit very weak and very

little wind to move the cloud and the mist on. Those areas furthest
