He also pled guilty to voyeurism and making an indecent photograph involving another teenage girl.
Croasdale attempted to drug his victim with a sedative in order to sexually assault her.
He was sentenced to a total of six years and six months in prison at Preston Crown Court last week.
Additionally, he is required to sign the Sex Offenders’ Register for life and will be subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for 15 years.
