Michael Slater groomed his vulnerable young victim making her feel disgusted at herself, a court heard
Prosecution barrister, Catherine Donnelly, told how the teen now feels anxious around older men.
In a victim personal statement read out in court, she said: “I hope one day I get over the disgust I have in myself.”
The girl who cannot be named for legal reasons said how Slater’s abuse and the fallout surrounding its revelation had impacted some of her relationships.
She described this as like having “one of her arms chopped off”.
Appearing before Southampton Crown Court, Slater, 37, of the Compass, was charged with two counts of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
He pleaded guilty to one of the charges and denied the other.
But following a trial at Southampton Crown Court earlier this year, he was found guilty.
Ms Donnelly told the court how Slater has 12 previous convictions to 12 offences.
These include dishonesty, criminal damage and being drunk and disorderly.
However, he has no previous convictions for sexual offences.
Defending, Alejandra Tascon, said her client suffered from ADHD, emotionally unstable personality disorder and sexual dysfunction issues.
She added that Slater had been drinking alcohol and smoking cannabis at the time of the offences and “should have known better”.
She also argued that Slater had been sexually and physically abused from a young age.
For the offences which happened between March 2020 and January 2021, Judge Nicholas Rowland jailed him for a total of five years.
He must register as a sex offender for life and was given a ten-year sexual harm prevention order.
Slater has also been given a five-year restraining order not to contact his victim.
