A former Salvation Army cadet leader has been jailed over a series of historic sex assaults on a teenager.
Wesley Hedge admitted six counts of indecent assault against a girl he had met and groomed in the 1970s.
Sheffield Crown Court heard the 71-year-old would touch the teenagers breasts and get her to touch his genitals as well as carry out other sex acts.
During a sentencing hearing, his victims impact statement revealed she had not realised she was being groomed at the time and felt she was in love with Hedge.
Prosecutor Ian Goldsack told the court that Hedge invited the underage girl to his home while his wife was out and also got her to put his hand on his lap while she sat next to him on a coach trip.
Hedge, of Dunkeld Road, Sheffield, was sentenced to five years in prison.
