South Yorkshire Police said Stacey’s offending came to light when his young victim “bravely came forward” and reported what had happened.
After his arrest, he initially denied ever having met the girl, but later pleaded guilty to seven charges relating to the case after forensic evidence proved he was responsible.
Det Con Jason Earl said: “This incident has had a profound effect on the victim and I would like to praise her for the tremendous courage and dignity she has shown throughout the investigation and court proceedings.
“I am pleased that Stacey is behind bars where he can do no further harm, and I hope this sentencing allows the victim to attempt to move forward with her life.”
Stacey, of Richmond Road in Sheffield, was also given a sexual harm prevention order and a restraining order preventing him from contacting his victim when he is released.
