A MAN has been jailed after he was convicted of sex offences which occurred when he was a teenager.
Jason Hughes, 43, pleaded not guilty at Mold Crown Court but was convicted of indecent assault and indecency with a child by a 10-2 majority.
He was cleared of a third charge.
Judge Niclas Parry jailed him for three-and a-half years and ordered him to register with the police as a sex offender for life.
A life-time sexual harm prevention order was made under which he is not to approach the victim in any way.
He is not to have any unsupervised contact with girls under 16 – apart from what is unavoidable in day to day life – unless he had the consent of a parent or guardian who knows all about his offending.
Judge Parry said Hughes, when he was aged 18 or so, had gratified himself sexually by abusing her when she was very young.
Hughes, of Ffordd Mela, Pwllheli, isolated her and indulged in sexual acts with her.
