Deneil Walker, 21, had been communicating with the girl via the web on apps including Snapchat, before arranging to meet her at Northolt railway station in west London.
He paid her fare and they boarded a train, travelling across London to Liverpool Street, and he molested her after tricking her into joining him in the toilet.
Walker, of Laburnum Close, Cheshunt, Hertfordshire pleaded guilty at Inner London Crown Court to two counts of engaging in penetrative sexual activity on October 4, last year.
He received four years custody and was ordered to sign the sex offenders register and comply with a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
The distraught girl was abandoned by Walker after the attack and approached members of the public for help.
She was soon taken to the closest police station, where she reported the crime.
Walker was arrested early the next morning.
Detective Constable Vicki Bladen said: “The victim was in touch with us straightaway, a very brave thing to do while dealing with such a distressing offence.
“Within hours we were knocking on Walker’s door, finding crucial evidence such as the victim’s train ticket inside his man bag.
“He was arrested, charged and put before the courts.
