A pervert has been jailed after he raped a vulnerable 11-year-old girl in his car.

Shamol Miah, 33, was locked up for eight years for the crime.

Miah, of Little Carter Lane, Mansfield, pleaded guilty to raping a child under 13 in court.

The prosecution explained how Miah approached his victim in Mansfield town centre in May last year and they exchanged mobile numbers.

They chatted briefly later that evening before he arranged to pick her up from her house at 4am.

He then took her to a secluded location and raped her in his car before dropping her back off in town.

It was reported to the police at the time, but the offender was only known as “Adam”.

However, using CCTV and DNA evidence, police were able to snare the paedophile.

The judge at Nottingham Crown Court also gave Miah a ten-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order, as well as placing him on the Sex Offender's register for life.

Detective inspector Jamie Hill for Nottinghamshire Police said: "Miah preyed on a very young and vulnerable girl and we are glad that he has been given a considerable prison sentence.

“I'd like to thank all of the officers who worked on this case, from the response officers who helped the victim tell us what had happened through to the investigation and digital teams.

“But most importantly I'd like to thank the victim and her family, for seeing this case through court and helping us to ensure that Miah is unable to harm anyone else in this way.

“No child should suffer sexual abuse and we encourage anyone with any concerns to come forward and report it to us on 101 so we can continue to protect the children of Nottinghamshire."
