During interviews, Hilton denied sexually assaulting the victim and claimed he had only touched her while helping her into his van. He also accepted that he knew she was vulnerable.
Following a trial at Preston Crown Court, Hilton, of Pyrus Close, Eccles, was found guilty of sexual assault.
Last week he appeared at the same court where he was jailed for 21 months and ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register for 10 years.
