An ambulance service worker who used social media to target a 15-year-old girl before sexually attacking her has been jailed.
Jamie Robinson, 33, from Doncaster, has been jailed for over seven years after he asked the minor whether she wanted to lose her virginity to him on Facebook and Snapchat.
When the young girl deleted him on Snapchat, the Emergency Medical Technician pressured her to re-add him.

He then sent the girl multiple messages urging her to visit him at his flat on West Street, Thorn.
DS Kath Coulter, investigating, said: “Robinson took her back to his flat and sexually assaulted her, despite the victim crying and telling him to stop. Even after the victim shouted at him to stop and demanded he take her back home, he continued to touch her inappropriately and make sexual comments.”
On 1 September 2019, Robinson took her to his flat. He met the youngster in the evening and away from her home.
DS Coulter said: “The victim did not want to go to the flat and told him a number of times that she was busy. However, Robinson’s messages became increasingly aggressive and she was becoming upset by them. Due to his constant harassment, she reluctantly agreed to meet him.”
The girl made an online report to Childline and Robinson was arrested on 21 September 2019. During the interviews he made no comment.
A jury found the man guilty of two counts of sexual assault and one count of assault by penetration following a trial at Sheffield Crown Court on Tuesday 7 December at Sheffield Crown Court.
Yesterday he was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison for assault by penetration and two and a half years for sexual assault, to run concurrently.
The judge, Mr Recorder Keir Monteith QC, stated Robinson had taken advantage of his position of trust, and set out with a significant amount of planning to commit the offences.
The judge went on to recognise the victim’s bravery for calling Childline and the Police
DS Coulter said: “This young victim has been left traumatised by what happened to her and I commend her bravery in coming forward and reporting Robinson’s vile behaviour. She was left very frightened and distressed after her horrendous ordeal and didn’t initially report it or tell her mum as she was worried about getting into trouble.
“I want to be very clear – a victim will never get in trouble with the police for reporting these crimes. We are there to listen to you, support you and seek justice for what has happened, and I am satisfied that in this case justice has been served.”
