A man who abducted a 14-year-old girl has been jailed for six years after a judge ruled his actions were at least partly motivated by sex.
John Bush disappeared with the youngster in June after she was placed with foster parents, triggering a nationwide police hunt.
The pair were eventually found at Euston railway station in central London, around 170 miles from the girl's home near Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
Sheffield Crown Court heard they had exchanged 250 text messages in the two days before the abduction.
After travelling with the girl to Pontefract, West Yorkshire, and Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, Bush persuaded the landlord of a village pub to let him have two rooms, telling him the youngster was his daughter.
He left the next day without paying and travelled south, staying with the girl, who cannot be named, in Watford, Hertfordshire, before heading into London the following day.
He was arrested after the pair were spotted by a British Transport Police officer.
Bush, of Askern, Doncaster, was jailed for three and a half years for sexual activity with a child and two years for child abduction.
He was jailed for a further six months for breaching his suspended sentence and 12 months for not paying for a hotel room, although the latter sentence will run concurrently.
Jailing Bush, who pleaded guilty to all charges, Judge Paul Watson said: "She was a vulnerable little girl leading a chaotic lifestyle through no fault of her own.
"At a time when she needed stability and guidance in her life, you took her away from the people responsible for providing that for her."
He added: "I'm satisfied that (sex), if not your prime motivation, was certainly a very strong motivation for your conduct."
Bush has a history of convictions for dishonesty, involving conning people out of money and property, dating back to 1997.
Nicholas De La Poer, defending, said his client had expressed "real regret and remorse" for his actions.
He argued the abduction had not been motivated by sex and that Bush had acted on impulse, "making it up as he went along".
