He admitted to a total of 10 different sexual offences against a girl under the age of 13.
A Bradford man has been jailed for 14 and half years for a string of sexual offences against a girl under the age of 13.
39 year old James Goy, of Plumpton Close, targeted his victim between 2020 and 2022.
Detectives stepped in after his crimes were reported by the girl's mother.
Goy admitted to nine counts of raping a child under the age of 13 and one count of sexual assault by penetration of a child under 13 at Leeds Crown Court.
Detective Constable Holly O'Neill, of the West Yorkshire Police Kirklees Child Safeguarding Unit, said:
“We welcome the sentence handed down to James Goy today for his reprehensible crimes. This sends a strong and clear message that we will not tolerate the exploitation of children in our community.
“I would personally like to commend the victim for her courage throughout the investigation and subsequent trial. Her fortitude and that of her family will ensure the safety of other children for years to come.
“West Yorkshire Police are dedicated to protecting the most vulnerable among us and holding perpetrators to account.
“I want to encourage any victims of unreported sexual offences, whether recent or non-recent, to please come forward and report them to us.
“Our specialist officers will support you through the criminal justice process, and we will thoroughly investigate and bring those responsible to justice.”
