Necip Uslu, 45, subjected his victim to a series of sexual offences which made her fear he would “break in” to her home and “kill [her]”.

Uslu, of Fore Street in Redruth, appeared at Truro Crown Court for sentence on Thursday, July 3, having been found guilty of several counts of sexual offences ranging from assault by touching to rape.

The court heard how the despicable abuse occurred at a time when the victim was under the age of 13.

Uslu, owner of Kernow Takeaway in Redruth, denied all the charges but was found guilty by a jury following a trial held at Truro Crown Court this week.
