A Plymouth man who sexually abused a teenage girl has been jailed for 12 years, with an extended licence of two years.
Peter Orme, 34 of York Road, Plymouth, was convicted of nine counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child, and one count of engaging in sexual communication with a child.
Orme was sentenced at Bristol Crown Court on Monday 20 October.
During the case, the court heard how over the course of several months Orme had on several occasions committed numerous sexual offences against one victim.
The victim reported the offences to the police, and an investigation was immediately launched into Orme, who had denied the offences.
During the sentencing, Orme was also given a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
Police Staff Investigator Aimee Cattell of Plymouth’s Rape and Serious Sexual Offences Team, said: “We welcome the sentence given to Peter Orme, who abused his position of trust and showed no remorse or accountability for his actions.
“I would like to thank the victim in this case who had the courage to come forward and report these incidents to us. We appreciate how difficult this was.
“We hope this sentence reassures victims of sexual offending that all reports to police will be taken seriously and thoroughly investigated by our officers.”
