A man from Barrow has been jailed for three years and has been placed on the Sex Offenders register, for child sex offences.
Jordan Emms, aged 38, of Barrow-in-Furness appeared at Preston Crown Court to be sentenced for sexual assault by touching and causing/inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
A jury found Emms guilty of all charges against him after a six-day trial at Preston Crown Court in November 2024.
The offences took place in Ulverston and relate to incidents involving one victim between 2018-2020.
Detective Sergeant Mike Wallace said: “Emms maintained that he had not committed these abhorrent offences, however a jury concluded that he was guilty.
“I hope the outcome of this trial, and sentence given to Emms today, can provide the victim with some reassurance that justice has been done.
“I would encourage anyone who has been a victim of sexual abuse to contact police so that our officers can investigate. Your report will be dealt with sensitively and professionally and you will be supported throughout our investigation.”
