A man caught trying to send messages of a sexual nature to a young girl on TikTok has appeared at Northampton Crown Court.

Jason Warner, 33, of Welford Avenue, Irthlingborough, and formerly of Stimpson Avenue, Northampton, admitted an offence of attempting to communicate sexually with a child earlier in the summer.

Last Monday (October 5) he appeared before Northampton Crown Court for sentencing and was handed a 30 month community order and a five-year sexual harm prevention order. He was ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register for five years and to pay a victims surcharge of £90.

His 12-year-old victim did not have to give evidence in court because of his guilty plea, which was taken into account during sentencing.
