Description
A man has been jailed for three years and nine months for sexual offences relating to a child.
Anthony Henderson, 62, of Francis Avenue, Withernsea, was sentenced at Hull Crown Court on 15 November.
Henderson previously pleaded guilty to causing a child to engage in a sexual act, meeting a child following grooming, causing a child to watch a sexual act and engaging in sexual communication with a child.
He has also been given a sexual harm prevention order and will be added to the sex offenders register for life.
In October, police received evidence of Henderson sending sexual messages to a fake profile of someone he believed to be a 13-year-old girl.
He sent the profile sexually explicit content of himself and others and arranged to meet who he believed to be a young girl in a public place.
Det Sgt Frances Robinson said: “Henderson is a sexual predator and I’m pleased he is now behind bars and unable to continue with his attempts to target vulnerable people."
