A PERVERT who systematically abused a young girl for seven years was jailed on Friday by a judge at Canterbury Crown Court.
Brian Dubey, 67, of Princess Margaret Avenue, Ramsgate was sent to prison for 15 years after a jury found him guilty on two counts of rape, six indecent assaults and two assaults.
Canterbury Crown Court heard how Dubey first attacked the girl when she was four and continually abused her until she was 11.Some of the offences went back to 1990.
She went to the police in 2013 and Dubey was arrested.
In the witness box he denied the charges but after the jury heard his catalogue of crimes they convicted him.
Judge Adele Williams said: “There is clear and compelling evidence of abuse.You robbed your victim of her innocence and a happy childhood.”
A spokesman for the NSPCC said: “It has been almost 30 years since Dubey unleashed his torrid catalogue of abuse, but today his victim can at least rest in the knowledge he is finally behind bars.
“His horrendous crimes were further exacerbated by making the target of his abuse relive the punishing ordeal in a courtroom.
“But it is only thanks to her bravery in giving evidence that Dubey has been jailed and he can be prevented from harming other children.

LSD sex offender convicted of rape, drugs and firearms offences
A Ramsgate man of 66 has been convicted of a string of child abuse offences dating back as far as 1990.
Brian Dubey, of Princess Margaret Avenue, had denied six indecent assaults, two assaults and two rapes against a young girl.
But a jury at Canterbury Crown Court unanimously found him guilty of all 10 offences.
The court was then told of Dubey’s previous convictions, which included dishonesty, possessing cocaine and LSD, possessing cannabis with intent to supply and possessing a .22 rifle with a shortened barrel and 42 rounds of ammunition.
Judge Adele Williams remanded Dubey in custody and will sentence him on May 20.
The victim told the court that Dubey had carried out the abuse and had raped her.
He had also hit her and she said she was frightened of him. But Dubey told the jury that the abuse had never taken place.
“Nothing like that happened at all,” he said. “It just never happened.”
Steven Talbot Hadley, prosecuting, said the abuse started as touching and led up to rape.
“It is the Crown’s case that the victim has given a clear and complete account of the abuse from this man.”
The victim went to the police in April 2013 and Dubey was arrested and denied all the allegations.
Dubey told the court he had been badly hurt in a car accident and the head injury had led to a loss of memory which took a long time to return.
Cross examined by Mr Talbot Hadley Dubey denied grooming the girl and denied being a paedophile.
