LONDON British Home Secretary (interior minister) Jack Straw's brother William will be put on a sex offenders' registry after he was found guilty on Friday of indecently assaulting a 16-year-old girl. At Nottingham magistrates court, William Straw, 46, denied assaulting the girl in April at her home in the Bramcote area of Nottingham in central England. The girl, who British media said was a friend of the family, cannot be named for legal reasons.
In July, he was ordered by the court to keep the peace for 12 months after the prosecution offered no evidence on a charge of common assault against another 16-year-old girl.
