“MD” sexually abused his niece more than 50 times between 2004 and 2005 , when she was 12-13 years old .

He was found guilty of sexual interference and invitation to sexual touching.

Judge rebuked defence's suggestion he serve his time in the community.

The maximum sentence for sexual interference has risen to 14 years since MD 's previous 10-year maximum.

MD was jailed after his conviction in February .

He was sentenced to nine years for the sexual interference and four -and-a-half years for sexual touching.

Lema concluded the chance of reoffending is “non-minimal” given his “continuing lack of insight” into his crimes.
