A man who sexually abused a child and encouraged other people to do the same has been jailed.
Gary Lewis, from Runcorn, started to abuse the girl when she was just three-years-old. Over the next four years he subjected her to repeated sexual offences, including indecent exposure and rape.
The 57-year-old would force her to watch pornography and encouraged other people to sexually abuse her. The girl attempted to seek help at the time of the abuse, but Lewis denied any wrongdoing and claimed that the victim was lying.
