Man jailed for sexual assault and burglary offences in Malpas

A man has been jailed for separate incidents of sexual assault and burglary in the Malpas area.

Jorden Hansen, of Penny Court in Malpas, was sentenced to 43 months at Chester Crown Court on Thursday 8th October.

The 32-year-old was sentenced for two counts of sexual assault, one count of using threatening behaviour to cause alarm or distress and one count of burglary.

On 17th April 2026, two teenage girls aged 16 and 13 entered an abandoned building in Malpas. Before entering, they saw a man sat in a blue car nearby.

An hour later, the man entered the building and located the girls. He stood in the doorway, blocking the girls’ exit. He asked how old they were and remarked, ‘oh, old enough, give me your Snapchat’.

The man then hugged both girls without their consent, with his hand on their lower backs.

On 23rd April 2026, a 17-year-old girl was walking along High Street in Malpas, when she spotted a man in a blue car. He was repeatedly looking at her in his rearview mirror while he was driving.

She turned into Chester Road and the man continued to drive at a slow pace behind her. She called a friend as she feared for her safety. 

Hansen was identified as the man involved in these two incidents and was subsequently arrested.

At court he was also sentenced in relation to a previous, unrelated incident where he broke into a nursing home in High Street, Malpas, on 28th August 2025.

During the early hours, a resident informed staff a man had been in her room and had jumped out of the window.

It was found that someone had entered several residents’ rooms after gaining access through the windows and searched through their belongings.

Following enquiries, this was later linked to Hansen and he was arrested.

DC Ireland of Chester CID said:

“Firstly, I would like to thank the young victims in this case for their bravery in coming forward and speaking to police about what happened to them.

“These incidents were undoubtedly distressing, and I hope the victims, their families and the wider public can take some comfort from knowing that Hansen has now been convicted and sentenced to a term of imprisonment.

“This outcome ensures he has been held accountable for his actions and provides protection to the wider community.”

PC Wright added:

“As well as targeting teenage girls, Hansen also targeted vulnerable people in a nursing home, violating what should be their safe space.

“Thanks to the work of our officers, we were able to link this to Hansen and we welcome the sentence handed to him.”
