The statement continued: “I have recurring thoughts that I am useless. This is because I believe the suspect saw me as some cheap tat on the road that he could do whatever he wanted with.

“This is something I think about a lot.”

The court heard how Adams, of Second Avenue, drove the victim to multiple locations around Leeds, where he sexually abused her for a period of two hours.

During his trial he claimed he had not noticed she was wearing her school uniform jumper.

Later, the girl’s “incredibly detailed and accurate description” helped to identify him, according to police. He also gave her his phone number, which officers managed to trace.

“I have supported this investigation because I want the suspect to be locked away so that he faces justice and knows he cannot get away with what he has done and won’t go on to do this to someone else,” the girl told the court.

“Omarie Adams has taken away my dignity. This is not something I will ever get back. I hope he rots in prison.”

Det Const Ellie Middlemass, who investigated the case for West Yorkshire Police, praised the girl’s “immense bravery, determination and resolve”.
