Saed Mohamed, 23, punched and kicked his victim before dragging her into nearby bushes in December 2020.
The woman - who was in her 80s - was left with significant bruises and a cut to her face which required stitches.
South Yorkshire Police said: "She was left traumatised and later suffered a brain injury which is thought to have happened as a result of the horrific attack in December 2022.
Saed was traced after police found his mobile phone in the grass near to where the attack took place.
He later pleaded guilty to GBH and sexual assault in court.
Investigating officer DC Arron Connolly said: "The victim used to be very independent but now needs help carrying out basic daily tasks.
"It has completely changed her life and she no longer feels safe doing her litter picks in the park.
"Her family have also been affected by the pure brutality of the attack inflicted on her and they are continuing to support her on her road to recovery."
