A PAEDOPHILE who admitted sexually assaulting a six-year-old girl while she was playing with dolls has labelled himself a “good Christian”.
Twisted Cornelus Bezuidenhout, 75, described his perverted assault as part of a “game she wanted to play”.
The South African national was sentenced to 22 months’ jail, but could be freed after his ten-month non-parole period, reports the AAP.
At the Victorian County Court in Melbourne, Australia, on Monday, Justice Gabriele Cannon slammed the civil engineer's offending as "repugnant" and "deluded".
"What you said was tinged with blaming the six-year-old,” she said during sentencing.
But he had told his wife of 26 years that nothing had happened and initially denied sexually assaulting the child.
However he later admitted to sexually touching the girl on two occasions in 2017, once in a car near her home and another time at a house.
In a police interview in January, the pervert claimed: “It was a game she wanted to play. She knew exactly what she was doing."
