75 year-old Donald Winchcombe, of Brake Mead, appeared at Salisbury Crown Court on Friday.
Winchcombe sexually assaulted a young girl under the age of 13 on multiple occasions. in the late 1970s.
Det Con Laura Barwood, of Central CID, said: “The abuse the victim suffered at the hands of Winchcombe over a lengthy period of time during her childhood will no doubt have had a long lasting impact on her, emotionally and mentally, and I cannot comprehend just how difficult it must have been in reporting the abuse to police.
“In doing what he did, Winchcombe selfishly robbed the victim of her innocent childhood years.
“I would like to stress that the victim has been fully supported by specialist officers throughout the process and I would like to put on record my thanks to her for the bravery she has shown in coming forward, sharing her ordeal and helping to put Winchcombe behind bars.”
