They said: “We finally have a verdict and that man is now held accountable for what he did to our little girl.“We have had to go through what no family should ever have to experience, and our girl is going to bear the consequences of what he has done to her for the rest of her life”.Det Sgt Ellie Nudd of Essex Police’s child abuse investigation team, added: “This conviction is important. “Hughes-Mason denied responsibility for all of the child’s injuries, pointing the finger at others or blaming them on accidents.”This little girl will never recover from the injuries she sustained from this violent attack.READ MORE SUN STORIES“The doctor’s were clear about the extent of the injuries – they were equivalent to a high-speed crash, and would have to be the result of a violent assault.”Hughes-Mason will be sentenced at Basildon Crown Court on September 10.
