Cleckheaton man handed 14 year sentence for sexual abuse of teenager
The 33 year old was found guilty of six different offences against a child.
A Cleckheaton man has been jailed for 14 years for the sexual assault of a teenage girl.
33 year old Kyle Burns, of Robertson Terrace in Cleckheaton, was sentenced at Leeds Crown Court on Monday (April 14) after being convicted of two counts of rape, two of sexual assault and two of engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child.
He was reported to police by the victim in 2024, with specialist officers stepping in to investigate the case.
Burns must serve at least two thirds of his prison term and has been made the subject of a sexual harm prevention order and a restraining order.
He will also be required to sign the sex offenders register.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Natalie Daly, said:
“I would like to thank the victim for her courage in reporting Burns’ abuse, and I hope that she will find some comfort in this outcome.
“Burns is clearly a dangerous individual, and this has been recognised by the court in the lengthy sentence he has received for his crimes.
“Victims of sexual offences are urged to come forward and report these to the police, so our specially trained officers can investigate these matters and bring perpetrators before the courts.”
