A MAN has been jailed for six years after committing sexual offences against a child.
Jonathan Walker, 34, was jailed today for non-recent offences committed against the young victim.
Walker, of Liversedge, was found guilty following a trial at Leeds Crown Court in August.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Natalie Green, of the Kirklees District Child Safeguarding Unit, described the offences as "appalling" and said the victim had been deeply affected.
She thanked the victim for their bravery and said she hoped it would bring closure on an "extremely difficult" time.
“I hope this sentence also provides a reminder to victims that we take all reports of sexual offences seriously and in confidence no matter when they happened," DC Green added.
