James Bryant, 40, was sentenced to 10 years at Bristol Crown Court after admitting three counts of sexual activity with a child
A Salvation Army member and National Crime Agency worker has been jailed for having sex with a 13-year-old girl.
James Bryant, 40, from Bristol, was sentenced to 10 years after admitting to three counts of sexual activity with a child.
Bryant 'moulded and manipulated' the youngster and made her his personal 'sex toy', Bristol Crown Court heard.
It was claimed he persuaded her to send him photos of her private parts and that he told her to touch herself while on the phone to her.
They had sex on numerous occasions, in Bristol and in a hotel, and on one occasion together with a adult woman, the jury heard.
Bryant denied 12 other charges of sexual activity with a child and three charges of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
He also denied sexual assault of a woman by touching her bottom.
After 12 hours' deliberation a jury convicted him of all counts barring one charge of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, three of sexual activity with a child and the sexual assault.
Judge Peter Blair QC jailed Bryant for ten years and ordered him to register
