As reported by the Powys County Times, the judge, Niclas Parry praised the victim for her bravery and strength of character. The abuse came to light when another boy, who had been asked sexual questions about the victim by Ongun, flagged the situation.
Alongside his two year suspended sentence, Ozhan Ongun will also be included in the Horizon programme for sex offenders, rehabilitation activities, and unpaid work. He was also issued with an indefinite restraining order to prevent him from contacting his victim or being around any underage girls for the next 10 years.
The victim will remain anonymous for life.
