A man who sexually assaulted a child has been jailed for 11 years.
Nicholas Manning, 50, formerly of Grantham, was convicted of three counts of sexual assault of a child under 13, and one count of assault of a child under 13 by penetration.
He bought his young victim alcohol before taking advantage of them while in a vulnerable state, Lincolnshire Police said.
Manning was sentenced at Lincoln Crown Court on 16 August and will be added to the sex offenders register for life.
Det Con Stewart said: "There is no place for this appalling behaviour in Lincolnshire and we will always do everything within our power to bring the perpetrators of such crimes to justice."
