A West Yorkshire man has been jailed for three years after being found guilty of sexually assaulting a young girl.

Daniel Hill, 29, from Huddersfield, was jailed at Leeds Crown Court on Tuesday after being found guilty of a sexual touching offence and an attempted sexual touching offence.

The 29-year-old was sentenced to a total of three years for the offending.

He will also serve an additional 10 months in prison for an additional unrelated offence he had previously been given a suspended sentence for.

The sexual offences took place in the Kirklees area.

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.”
