A man deemed to be dangerous and predatory was sentenced after committing four years of sexual abuse against a child.
Dana Omar, 46, of Plumpton Road, Wakefield, pleaded guilty to four counts of sexual assault, as well as offences involving inducing and causing sexual activity with a minor and attempted rape.
He appeared before Leeds Crown Court where he was sentenced to nine and a half years in prison.
Detective Constable Will Denton of the Wakefield District Child Safeguarding Unit commented: "I would like to pay tribute to the victim and her immense bravery in reporting this abuse.
"There can be no doubt that this courage and strength has ensured that Omar is no longer able to continue his offending against innocent and vulnerable children within the Wakefield District.
"The sentence handed to Omar reflects the severity and sustained nature of his offending against this vulnerable child.
Omar is a dangerous, predatory man and this sentence is welcomed by West Yorkshire Police.
"We have specially trained officers who work tirelessly to bring offenders to justice and support survivors of abuse.
I would urge anyone with concerns for a child, to come forward and contact either West Yorkshire Police or Wakefield Children’s Social Care immediately."
