He offered to teach her how to kiss - which he claimed would help prepare her for secondary school
A 60-year old man was starting a ten-year prison sentence today for a "chronic catalogue" of sexual offending against a young girl.
Stevenson was convicted by a jury earlier this year of two counts of rape and ten counts of indecent assault. The offences occurred over a period from June 2003 to September 2004. Whilst visiting an adult in the home, Stevenson befriended the child and gained her trust. During these visits he lavished attention on her, with the abuse starting when he offered to teach her how to kiss - which he claimed would help prepare her for secondary school.
Stevenson appeared at the sentencing via a videolink with Maghaberry, where he was told by Judge Kinney that his offending involved grooming and planning and that his behaviour was "predatory and repugnant."
