A Victoria man and former badminton coach has been sentenced to eight years in prison for a string of sexual assaults against children more than 40 years ago.

Henry Charles Sadd, who was convicted on eight charges, will actually spend six years and eight months behind bars, after credit for time served.

Sadd has a prior history of convictions for sex assaults involving children, but the new charges were initiated when another past victim contacted police.
