Michael Laverick, 19, from Pocklington, was convicted of 10 charges including rape, attempted rape and sexual assault following a trial at Hull Crown Court in October.

In March, Beverley Magistrates Court heard he was aged 16 when he first committed the crimes in East Yorkshire.

His sentence also includes a three-and-a-half-year extended parole period, which he must serve on licence.

The 19-year-old was sentenced at Grimsby Crown Court on Monday.

Transport spending in London is two-and-a-half times more per person than in the north of England, new figures have shown.

Treasury data shows that in 2018-19, £903 was spent in the capital for every resident, while the north had £376.

Passengers in Leeds said it showed "one rule for them and one rule for us".

The government said its spending decisions were "rigorous and fair", and said the figures did not include money for future projects like HS2.

Centre-left think tank IPPR North has analysed HM Treasury figures for 2018-19.

They showed across the UK £481 was spent on transport per person - but this varied from £903 a head in London, to £268 in the East Midlands and £276 in Yorkshire and the Humber.

The data included all public spending, and was based on the number of residents in the region.
