A Manchester man has been jailed for four years after admitting to child sexual offences in Halifax.
35 year old David Collier, of Woodstock Road in Moston, admitted to two counts of sexual assault, engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child and causing a child to engage in sexual activity.
He appeared before Bradford Crown Court for sentencing yesterday, where he was also handed 18 months on extended licence.
He will serve a 15 year Sexual Harm Prevention Order and will be on the Sex Offenders’ Register for life.
It comes after an incident in the West Yorkshire town on April 30 2024.
Detective Constable Riah Nicholson, of West Yorkshire Police, said:
“Collier committed these offences in broad daylight whilst members of the public passed by.
“I would like to praise the bravery of the young victim coming forward to us and supporting this prosecution.
“This incident has caused significant ongoing distress to the victim. I hope today’s sentence bring her a sense of justice, but also ensures that other people are now safeguarded from further harm.”
