“I would like to acknowledge the bravery of the victim for coming forward and telling the police what happened to her. Her courage has ensured that a vile and dangerous paedophile has been jailed for a long period of time.

“I hope that she can now begin to rebuild her life with the knowledge that justice has been done.”

Iveson was also ordered to sign the sex offenders register for life.
