Man jailed for sexually abusing two young girls

Harry Grindley, 22, was sentenced at Hull Crown Court

A man has been jailed for 16 years after being convicted of sexually abusing two young girls.

Harry Grindley, 22, was found guilty of two counts of rape of a child under 13 and one count of assault by penetration at a trial at Hull Crown Court in April.

He was sentenced at the same court on Thursday 27 June and will serve a minimum term of 11 years.

Det Con Shaun Chambers described him as a "perverted criminal".

He added that Grindley, of Shannon Road in Hull, had "targeted two young girls, sexually abusing them for his own sick sexual gratification".

“Investigations of this nature are always incredibly concerning," Mr Chambers said.

"But I hope the fact that he is now off our streets and facing considerable time behind bars offers some reassurance that he is unable to continue his vile crimes."
