Married father Zia Maroof Khail, 29, carefully groomed the victim and fooled her into believing they were “boyfriend and girlfriend”.
After spotting her in a park, he made repeated approaches and the first time they spoke he told her he loved her, Preston Crown Court heard.
Khail, originally from Afghanistan, persuaded her to meet him at his home twice a week, said Mark Lamberty, prosecuting.
He sexually abused her there, and had sex with her in an alleyway and at her own home.
“He was abusive to her if she refused to co-operate in sexual conduct,” Mr Lamberty added.
His sex crime came to light when the girl made a complaint about other men she said had abused her.
Police tracked Khail down using DNA evidence which matched his on a database at Colnbrook Immigration Centre, Heathrow, where he was waiting to be deported.
He told officers he did not think he had done anything wrong because he was not aware of the “cultural norms” in Britain.
