Detective Constable Rose said: “I hope that the sentencing of this man for what must have been a horrific experience for the victim brings them some closure.
“Their bravery of reporting this offence has allowed us to investigate a man who needed to be brought to justice for betraying the trust of his victim, and it is important that anyone who believes they have been the victim of a sexual offence come forward to us, and allow us to investigate.”
