The pair, both of Hull, East Yorks., were both given a lifelong sexual harm prevention order and will both be on the sex offenders register for life.
Speaking after the sentencing, the child's mum said when she found out what had happened, she felt "completely numb". She added: "It was a huge, horrendous shock, but once it started to sink in, I felt nothing but rage. "Since that day, the thoughts of what these disgusting and horrible individuals have done has plagued me from the moment I open my eyes until I go to sleep.
