A driver of motorcycle racing champions has been imprisoned for 18 years after sexually violating and sexually assaulting a seven -year -old girl.
Connor Behan, 33, of Newcastle-Indander-Lyme, the staff, ran Superbikes between 2004 and 2015, becoming the super twins champion of Irish Road's career in 2014.
He was imprisoned for 18 years and delivered a restriction order in Chester Crown Court on Friday after years of abuse.
Judge Michael Leeming said: 'He does not accept any responsibility for his actions and continues to deny them, but I cannot accept it.
“You are not aware, you have no empathy, and there is an element of guilt to the victims throughout your report prior to the sentence.”
The former rider of the Island of Man TT caught the attention of the police in 2022, after the victim denounced his teacher.

Using a seminal detection dog, the police found traces of the semen of the dishonor rider in a blanket owned by the victim.
By denying all positions, he was convicted of rape, sexual aggression and participating in sexual activities in front of a child after a one -week trial last year.
The jury heard how Behan had sexually assaulted the victim on multiple occasions, as of May 2019, when the victim was only seven years old.
In the sentence, prosecutor Mark Connor said that the victim suffered physically and psychologically because of abuse.
A victim's statement said: 'As a result, I can't be close to anyone.
“It affects everything and I take my family and my friends.”
Defending, Adam Watkins said Behan had a problem with drinking and drug taking due to his father's death.
He added: “He does not explain or excuse his behavior, but it is an idea of his difficulties at that time.”
Behan will remain in the registry of sexual criminals for the rest of his life.
