Huddersfield sex offender jailed for 13 years
The 42-year-old will also be on the Sex Offenders Register for life
A man from Huddersfield has been jailed for multiple sexual offences against a child.
The 42-year-old was given 13-years behind bars after being convicted at Leeds Crown Court yesterday (27/10).
The 42-year-old pleaded guilty to five offences of sexual activity with a child and two offences of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
Offending took place between February and September 2024.
As well as his sentence, Lewin was also made subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
This will make him subject to immediate arrest and prosecution if he breaches any of the terms set, on his release from prison. He's also been told he must sign on to the Sex Offenders Register for life.
DC Amy Green of the Kirklees Child Safeguarding Unit, said: ““Gary Lewin manipulated his young victim and committed extremely serious sexual offences against her.
“He was deemed by the court to present a real danger to young children, and this conclusion is reflected in the Sexual Harm Prevention Order that will be enforced upon his release from prison. “
She added: “I want to commend the bravery shown by the victim and her family throughout this case.
“Reporting offences of this nature is incredibly difficult, and their courage in coming forward and supporting the prosecution has been instrumental in ensuring this dangerous individual is now behind bars."
