A 'DANGEROUS' man who facilitated the rape of a young child in Yorkshire has been put behind bars.
David Hough, of Regency Road, Malvern, was sentenced after admitting to a series of sexual offences at Worcester Crown Court.
The 40-year-old was convicted of three counts of arranging or facilitating the commission of a child sex offence, as well as one count of making indecent photographs of children, and one count of breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO).
The court noted that the facilitation of a child sex offence referred to two offences where he arranged for someone else to rape and sexually assault a child under the age of 13 in York, North Yorkshire, and one offence where he arranged to rape a child under the age of 13 himself.

The court also noted that Hough breached the SHPO, which he had received from Worcester Crown Court in 2020, when he failed to register a mobile phone.
Appearing before Worcester Crown Court on Monday, November 2, Judge Nicholas Cartwright sentenced Hough to 14 years' imprisonment for each of the three facilitation offences, which will be served concurrently.

This was then extended by a further six years after Judge Cartwright deemed Hough to be 'dangerous'.
The extension will be served on licence, meaning the 40-year-old will not return to prison unless he breaks the law once during the period.
He was also handed an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order and will need to register with the police until told otherwise.
The phone which breached his previous SHPO was also seized.
