Naresh Kumar, 50, saw the girl in Addison Howard Park in Kempston on 26 August when he intercepted her and took her into a nearby obscured area and sexually assaulted her.

A couple walking their dog saw something was happening and shone a torch towards them which caused Kumar to let go of the girl and she was able to run to them for help.

Following extensive enquiries involving CCTV and phone work, he was identified and arrested, and an investigation was launched by Bedfordshire Police’s Protecting Vulnerable People team (PVP).

Kumar, of Manor Close Kempston, was found guilty of six different sexual offences and was sentenced at Luton Crown Court on Friday (21 March) to 14 years.

He will also be subject to a deportation order after his sentence is served.
