Description
A Huddersfield man has been jailed this week after being found guilty of the sexual assault of a young girl.
Daniel Hill, 29, was sentenced to three years in prison after being found guilty of a sexual touching offence and an attempted sexual touching offence. He was sentenced on Tuesday, October 11, at Leeds Crown Court.
His offences took place in Kirklees in 2021. He will also serve another 10 months in prison for an unrelated offence he'd previously got a suspended sentence for.
West Yorkshire Police said Hill's offences were reported to them as soon as they came to light and he was quickly arrested.
DC Natalie Green of the Kirklees District Safeguarding Unit, said: “The young victim and her family have shown real courage in coming forwards and then supporting the prosecution of Hill through a trial. Their bravery has resulted in a sex offender now being behind bars.
“Specialist officers always thoroughly investigate all reports of sexual offences and we continue to urge victims to come forwards so we can seek justice for them and also, with partners, provide the support they will need.”
