A man in his late 20s has been sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to raping a 12-year-old girl whom he blackmailed with an explicit video.

Sole Spencer was sentenced by the High Court after admitting to two counts of serious indecency and one count of sexual intercourse with a female under the age of 14.

The court heard that in 2024, Spencer came into possession of an explicit video of the child and began contacting her, demanding sexual acts. Prosecutors said he threatened to circulate the video if she refused to comply, despite being told she was only 12 years old.

Out of fear that the video would be shared, the girl agreed to meet Spencer. The court was told he led her to an abandoned house, where the sexual ottences were committed.
