A man has been jailed for sexually assaulting a child under 13, in Milton Keynes.
Jason Keane, aged 52, of no fixed abode has been sentenced to a eight years and six months special custodial sentence, and will serve a minimum of five years before being considered for release with the remainder on conditional license following a four-day trial at Aylesbury Crown Court on Thursday 6 March.
He was also subject to a Restraining Order and Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
He was found guilty by unanimous jury to two counts of assault of a girl under 13 by penetration with a part of body/a thing.
Between August and September 2020, Keane subjected the victim to abuse whilst she was sleeping.
Keane attended a voluntary interview on 16 August 2021 and was charged via postal requisition on 27 March 2024.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Michele Weston, of the Child Abuse Investigation Unit, said: “I am extremely pleased with the sentence Keane has received.
“I have nothing but admiration for the victim, a very brave girl, who found the courage to talk to the police about what happened to her.
“She truly is an inspiration, and I hope in time she will be able to put all this behind her.
“If you think you have been a victim of sexual abuse there is information on our support for victims of sexual assault on the Thames Valley Police website.”
