Mohammed Imran Ali Akhtar, 42, pleaded guilty to two counts of rape and two counts of indecent assault at Sheffield Crown Court on 17 October 2023.
Akhtar admitted to raping his 13-year-old victim twice between August 2001 and July 2002.
The former Rotherham resident groomed the young girl and provided her with alcohol and drugs when he met her.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said Akhtar had led the victim to believe she was in a relationship with him and would pick her up in a car before driving her to different locations to rape her.
Once the girl recalled having to walk for hours after she was kicked out of the car by Akhtar in the early hours of the morning when she refused to have sex with him.
Zoe Becker, Leader Manager for the CPS, said: “The lifelong physical and emotional trauma caused to victims by men like Akhtar cannot be understated.
“We would like to thank the victim in this case for coming forward and reporting this devastating crime. I hope this conviction sends a clear message that the CPS, working alongside the NCA, will continue to relentlessly pursue justice and prosecute those who sexually exploit children, whenever that abuse took place.”
Akhtar was first jailed in 2018 with five other men for the rape of a girl who had been abused by over 100 Asian men.
The historic Rotherham child abuse scandal was first reported on by the Jay report in 2014.
Akhtar will be sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court on 18 December 2023 and he remains in custody until then.
