A 25-year-old South Yorkshire man has been put behind bars, after he was found guilty of raping a 12-year-old girl.
During a hearing at Sheffield Crown Court this afternoon, Judge Michael Slater sentenced Brett McLaughlan to seven-years in prison, with an extended license period of a year.
McLaughlan, of Lister Avenue, Rawmarsh was found guilty of the offence, that was carried out in Rotherham in April 2015 when he was 22-years-old, following a trial that concluded in October last year.
Matthew Burdon, defending, told the court that McLaughlan still did not accept that he had committed the offence, and so could not be said to show any remorse for his actions.
