A 33-year-old man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison after pleading guilty to a string of sex offences.
Charles Tetley, of Kings Road, Long Clawson, was sentenced yesterday at Leicester Crown Court.
He had pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to five counts of rape, attempted rape, eight counts of assault by penetration, three counts of sexual assault and 10 counts of making indecent images of children.
Police said the convictions related to a number of offences against one person, committed between January 2011 and October 2013.
Speaking after the hearing, Detective Constable Mike Buckey praised his victim's bravery in coming forward.
He said: "The victim has shown immense bravery throughout the investigation and court process.
"Fortunately, because Tetley pleaded guilty to the offences, she has been spared the trauma of reliving what happened to her.
"I hope the sentence passed by the court, and Tetley's admission, will help the victim move on with her life and put the events of those two-and-a-half years behind her."
