Two men have sentenced for serious sexual offences, after the rape of a teenage girl in Wakefield.
22 year old Kevin Balog, of Todd Terrace in Bradford, will serve 10 years in prison and two on extended licence after being convicted of rape at Leeds Crown Court.
A now 18 year old man will serve a three year youth rehabilitation order, after being convicted of causing or inciting sexual activity with a child.
At the time of the sexual assault the victim was 14 years old, with the two men being 15 and 20 respectively.
The court heard how she met the pair at a home in Wakefield, where she was raped by Balog.
Police found the messages between Balog and his co-defendant arranging for him to have sex with the victim.
Detective Constable Khi Smith, of Wakefield District Child Safeguarding Team, said: “The victim has been betrayed by someone who she trusted and subjected to a horrendous ordeal by Balog."
“It is clear from the messages they exchanged that neither male gave thought to the victim, and this has been demonstrated again in refusing to admit their guilt and putting her through the further ordeal of a trial.
“No sentence can ever bring back the childhood and sense of safety that these males have robbed from her, but I hope that the conclusion of this court case and the custodial sentences they have been given help her in moving forward with her life.”
