A PAEDOPHILE who sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl after grooming her on the internet while living in a York hostel has been jailed indefinitely.

Richard Paul Graves assaulted the Barnsley teenager while he was on licence for the rape of an eight-year-old girl.

Graves, 39, pleaded guilty at Teesside Crown Court to grooming, abduction and sexual assault and he was told by a judge he would serve at least six-and-a-half years in prison.

Under the terms of the indeterminate sentence, Graves must satisfy the authorities that he does not pose any threat to the community before he is released.
