Description
A "sexual predator" who lured his victim into a recording studio with the promise of making her a singing star has been jailed for 10 years.
Kevin Roscoe, 59, from Caernarfon, Gwynedd, was convicted in October of four counts of rape and two indecent assaults dating from the 2000s.
He was sentenced at Mold Crown Court on Thursday and must register as a sex offender for life.
Judge Philip Harris-Jenkins said he had "callously used" his teenage victim.
The judge, who appeared via television link from Newport Crown Court, said Roscoe repeatedly raped the girl after "luring" her to the recording studio.
He described him as a "controlling sexual predator" who placed her in a position where she could not refuse his demands for sex.
'Emotional scars'
During sentencing, Roscoe, who had denied all the offences, called out from the dock, "It didn't happen."
Det Con Chris Arkell, of North Wales Police's Amethyst team, which investigates serious sexual offences, said: "Mr Roscoe has abused the trust that a young teenage girl placed in an adult, leaving lifelong emotional scars. I hope that this result today goes some way in healing this hurt."
