Description
A 20-year-old pervert has been jailed after trying to meet an underage girl for sex and inciting her to perform sexual acts during vile online chats.
Louis Morrison, of Halton Lodge Avenue in Runcorn, was reported to police and charged with engaging in sexual communications with a child, arranging the commission of a child sex offence, inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, causing a child to watch sexual activity, and two counts of possessing indecent images of children.
He pleaded guilty and appeared at Chester Crown Court for sentence.
Prosecutor Peter Hussey told the court the offences took place in the second half of 2024. Morrison intentionally communicated with the girl for sexual gratification, calling her “baby” and “gorgeous”, telling her he “loved her very much” and that he wanted to have sex with her. He sent her lingerie and other gifts, photos of himself performing sexual acts, and incited her to perform sexual acts on herself while arranging to meet for sex.
Police found 41 indecent images of children on his phones, four in the most serious Category A.
Judge Simon Berkson ruled the offending too serious for anything other than an immediate custodial sentence. He jailed Morrison for four years in a young offender institution.
Morrison must sign the sex offenders register for life, abide by a 10-year sexual harm prevention order, forfeit his mobile phones, and is banned from contacting the victim for nine years.
