He was also made the subject of a non-harassment order and will be placed on the sex offenders register indefinitely.

He previously pleaded guilty to nine charges including conspiring with others to commit sexual abuse, sharing indecent images, sexual exposure, public indecency and sexual communications.

Detective Inspector Wells said: “McAdam subjected his child victim to horrific abuse, causing lasting trauma and having a profound impact on their life.

"Sexual crime of any kind has no place in society and we remain committed to supporting victims and bringing those responsible to justice.

"I would encourage anyone who has experienced sexual assault to report it to police. Every report will be taken seriously and thoroughly investigated."
