A LIVERSEDGE man who sexually abused two underage girls has been jailed for nine and a half years.

Jensen Jules, 28, was sentenced at Leeds Crown Court today after pleading guilty to three counts of penetrative sexual activity with a child.

Jules was arrested by police in May and subsequently charged.

Detective Constable Yvonne Brear of the Kirklees Child Safeguarding Unit said: "We welcome the sentence handed down to Jensen who is a manipulative and dangerous man.

"I would like to thank the two victims in the case for the courage in coming forward and reporting this to the police.

"I hope that this outcome will give them some closure and allow them to more forward from this ordeal.

"West Yorkshire Police take all reports of sexual offences extremely seriously and each case is treated in strict confidence by specially trained officers."
