Upon release, he will be managed closely by Northamptonshire Police’s MOSOVO team, which monitors sex offenders in the community.
The officer who led the investigation, DC Katy Tyrrell, said: “Jones is a very high risk sex offender whose actions will have a long-term effect on his victim who was made to feel terrified in her own home.
“For this woman to come forward after such an experience is a very difficult thing to do so I hope she feels some satisfaction knowing her voice has been heard and that Jones has been convicted and sent to prison.
