A man from Warminster has been given a suspended prison sentence after pleading guilty to grooming offences.
Frederick Weeks, 55, appeared at Swindon Crown Court last Friday (29/05) and pleaded guilty to attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child, attempting to incite a girl aged 13 to 15 to engage in sexual activity and attempting to cause a child to watch a sexual act.
He was given a two-year prison sentence, suspended for two years, and was issued with a Sexual Harm Prevention Order which will remain in place for ten years and is managed by the Wiltshire Police’s Public Protection Unit.
The charges relate to Weeks communicating with someone online who he believed to be a 14-year-old girl but was actually an adult who reported it to the police.
