A 55-YEAR-old man has been jailed for 18 months after sexually abusing a teenage girl in Bradford.
Richard Szabo, now of Appleton Court, Wigan, admitted touching the underage girl, with the offence dating back several years.
Bradford Crown Court heard how Szabo was caught on top of the youngster, who was semi-naked, and was touching her sexually.
Judge David Hatton was critical of the length of time it took for Szabo to be charged, which was a number of years after the attack.
He added that Szabo appeared to show no remorse until he pleaded guilty last month. Although he said he understood that Szabo had experienced “considerable stress” in the time since his arrest.
Szabo was placed on the sex offenders’ register for ten years, and must now comply with a sexual harm prevention order for the same length of time.
