Devonte Mulitalo would give the other children lollies and let them play video games ... so he could slip away to a shed with the girl.
Victim impact statements read in the Auckland District Court today say the girl has self harmed and struggles with suicidal thoughts.
Her parents both blame themselves and it almost ended their marriage.
The sentencing Judge says the 23-year-old had groomed a vulnerable victim entrusted into his care.
Mulitao's name has been added to the child sex offender's register.
