Man jailed for sexual offences against child

A Bradford man has been jailed after he was found guilty of sexual offences involving a child.

Frederick Holmes, aged 60, of Cordingley Close, was jailed for eight years at Bradford Crown Court after he was found guilty of incitement and sexual activity offences involving a five-year-old girl.

An investigation was launched last October when the girl’s mother reported the offences to police.

Holmes was arrested and later charged with both crimes.

He was given eight years for the sexual activity offence and two years for the incitement. The sentences will run concurrently.
