Hussein sexually assaulted the girl on a number of occasions, telling her no one would ever believe her if she reported what was happening.
The girl came forward in 2019 and reported Hussein, who attended a voluntary interview in December 2020.
In his police interview in December of that year, Hussein answered “no comment” to all questions.
Hussein will be on the sex offenders register for life.
Detective Constable Katie Russell, from West Midlands Police’s non-recent Rape and Serious Sexual Offences team, said: “This was an appalling sequence of abuse in which Zomid Hussein abused a young child.
“Thanks to her bravery, we were able to build a case to bring him to justice and hopefully grant her some measure of closure.
“We would urge anyone who knows or thinks they were a victim of sexual abuse in the past to contact us and tell us your story.
“In doing so you could secure justice for yourself and others, as well as potentially protecting current or future victims.”
