A PENSIONER who sexually abused a young girl has been jailed for four years.
George Moseley touched the girl intimately and made her watch pornographic videos, Teesside Crown Court was told.
The 78-year-old of Barden Road, Middlesbrough, admitted three counts of sexual activity with a child, two of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and one of causing or inciting a child to watch a sexual act.
Stephen Constantine, mitigating, said Moseley cooperated with police and had pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity.
Judge Howard Crowson told Moseley he posed a significant risk to young children and had deprived his victim of her innocence.
He jailed Moseley for four years and said he would serve an extended term of licence on release. He will also be a registered sex offender for life
