Hide AdSpecialist detectives launched an investigation and spoke to multiple witnesses over a period of several months.
Cain, also known as Andy Cain, denied all the allegations against him and claimed during a police interview that his victim was making them up.
However, following the detailed work to gather evidence by Nottinghamshire Police’s public protection team, a jury at Nottingham Crown Court convicted him of five counts of indecent assault of a girl under 16. These charges covered multiple instances of abuse.
Cain, of Old Mill Lane, Forest Town, was handed a ten-year jail sentence immediately afterwards at the hearing on Friday.

Hide AdDetective Constable Amy Revill, of Nottinghamshire Police’s public protection team, said: “Cain sexually abused a vulnerable child over several years. This abuse has had a very considerable impact on his victim, who must live with the memory of what he did to her.
“I hope that this verdict and this sentence will provide her with a sense of closure and also that it may encourage other victims of historical sexual abuse to come forward.
“Even though these offences happened a long time ago we were absolutely determined to get to the bottom of what happened.”
