Hornsea man plied teenage girls with drugs before sexually abusing them

A man from Hornsea who encouraged three teenage girls to use cocaine in order to bribe them into giving him sexual favours has been jailed.

Steven Clarke, who's twenty-one, was sentenced to four years in prison at Hull Crown Court yesterday after admitting attempting to supply cocaine to the girls and to sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl.

Humberside Police praised the girls' bravery and determination for coming forward to see Clarke punished for what he did to them.

She added that she hopes the sentence will encourage all victims of exploitation and sexual assault to come forward.
