Two men jailed for sexual exploitation of child

Two men who sexually exploited a teenager have been jailed.

Miquil Lucas Diozzi, 29, of Thorncliffe Grove, Longsight was 20 when he targeted the girl aged 14.

He plied her with alcohol and drugs and manipulated her into engaging in sex before Diozzi introduced her to Lenford Lloyd White, a man 40 years her senior, during a drug deal.

White, 64, forced her to engage in sex with himself and his associates at a flat in Gorton.

Both men were sentenced to 10 years in prison and placed on the sex offenders register for life.

Detective Constable Peter Davies from GMP’s Major Incident Team said: “Child sexual exploitation is sadly not a new issue and whilst it continues to happen to this day, we remain committed to fully investigating every report made to us.

“The convictions obtained as part of this investigation have only been made possible by the bravery of the woman in coming forward and speaking to us after spending years trying to forget about her ordeal.

“By having that courage it has enabled the police to convict two child sex offenders and remove them from our streets. The victim has showed incredible strength throughout the trial and I hope that these convictions provide some level of closure to the woman and also provide the wider public the confidence to know that it is never too late to come forward.

“People who report historic offences will be listened to, the matters will be investigated and offenders will be brought to justice.”
