A pizza
delivery driver who impregnated a 14-year-old who he met on the job has
been locked up after a judge ruled his initial sentence was too
lenient.
Jake Rudd, 19, met the schoolgirl on his rounds and seduced her by saying 'I love sex. It’s my hobby.'
He
initially escaped with a suspended sentence but is now behind bars
after a judge ruled he had groomed the child and should not be spared
custody.
Jake Rudd impregnated a 14-year-old
who he met on the job and has been sentenced to two-and-a-half years in a
young offenders' institute
Rudd even rang up the girl's school to ask if she could skip lessons so she could have an abortion.
When arrested, 55 indecent images of his victim were found on his phone.
In her statement to the court, the girl said: 'It kills me every single day to think about what I did to my baby.'
At
York Crown Court in January, he was given a suspended jail sentence by a
judge who told him he was 'a very fortunate young man'.
But
the Solicitor-General Robert Buckland QC referred the sentence to
London's Appeal Court and Rudd has now been sent to a young offender's
institution for two and a half years.
York Crown Court was told Rudd sexually abused the girl despite knowing she was underage.
Prosecutor
Ayesha Smart said he met his victim while delivering her pizza and
after she told him he was going to be a father, he booked an appointment
at the abortion clinic.
Then he tried
to persuade her school to let her skip lessons so that she could attend,
but the school was suspicious, and refused to let her leave class.

The victim later had an abortion.
Rudd, of York, admitted four charges of sexual activity with a child and one of possessing indecent images of a child.
He
spent 23 days in jail before he was sentenced. Nicholas Rooke,
mitigating, said he had found this 'very difficult indeed' and it had
been a 'wake-up call for him'.
He was 'immature for his age'. He now had new employment and his employer was willing to keep him on, the barrister added.
He
was given an eight-month prison sentence suspended for two years on
condition he commits no more offences, does 20 days' rehabilitative
activities and goes on a sex offender treatment programme.
Judge Paul Worsley QC said no-one of the girl's age should be put into a situation where they have to have an abortion.
He
said: 'It was purely your selfish sexual drive that got her in that
situation,'. Of the appointment at the abortion clinic, the judge told
him: 'You were simply protecting your own selfish ends.'
Rudd
was also made subject to a life-time sexual harm prevention order
restricting contact with children and put on the sex offenders' register
for ten years.
But overturning the original sentence, Lord Justice Davis said Rudd's crimes involved 'grooming and planning'.
At York Crown Court (pictured) in
January, he was given a suspended jail sentence by a judge who told him
he was 'a very fortunate young man'
'This sentence was unduly lenient,' concluded the judge, sitting with Mr Justice Holroyde and Judge Christopher Kinch QC.
'The
gravity of this overall offending was and is simply too serious to
justify a sentence which is anything other than an immediate custodial
sentence.'
Det Con Peter Cooper, of
York Serious Crime Team, said: 'There is no doubt that this is a case of
child sexual exploitation, and it will not be tolerated.
'During
the investigation, Rudd has had repeated warnings due to him harassing
the victim despite his bail conditions, which he blatantly disregarded.
'The
case must act as a clear message to any other adults who act in a
similar manner towards young, vulnerable people - they will face the
force of the law.
'The victim has shown courage and maturity throughout the investigation, and I hope she can now move forward with her life.'
