Description
Mark Jacobson, of Washington Parade, Bootle was also made to sign the sex offender's list and hit with a restraining order
A monster who raped a child and forced them to watch sexual acts has been jailed for 16 years.
Mark Jacobson, 44, of Washington Parade, Bootle, was found guilty of 16 counts of serious child sex offences.
These include two counts of rape, two counts of attempted rape and multiple counts of sexual activity with a child, causing a child to watch a sexual act and engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child.
Today, at Liverpool Crown Court, he was sentenced to 16 years in prison.
Jacobson was also given an indefinite sexual harm prevention order (SHPO) and was issued with a restraining order and sex offender notification requirement.
Detective Constable Lucy Emmett said: Jacobson is a dangerous individual and he will now spend a significant amount of time behind bars where he can no longer pose a risk to children.
Merseyside Police is committed to protecting children from sexual exploitation and those who seek to do them harm.
I would urge anyone who has been a victim of child abuse, or thinks a child is being abused, to contact police immediately, where a report can be made in confidence.
Similarly if you have suffered a sexual offence and can find the courage to come forward, we will take your report extremely seriously and investigate it thoroughly.
