Description A man who exposed himself to a child and then asked her to "kiss it" has been jailed for 27 months. Alan James McLoughlin, 37, was jailed at Liverpool Crown Court yesterday after being found guilty of attempted sexual activity with a child under the age of 13. McLoughlin, of Tedbury Close, Kirkby, must also sign the sex offenders' register for 10 years. His victim is a little girl of infant school age. Today the child's heartbroken mum said she feels a huge amount of relief now he's behind bars. She said: "It happened at a New Year's Eve party in 2016, he exposed himself to my daughter and asked her to kiss it. "We had no idea what was going on, it's only when she told her brother what had happened the morning after, that we realised what had happened. "It's just been a horrendous and horrific time for us as a family." The jury found McLoughlin unanimously guilty and the victim's mum says it's provided her with closure. She said: "I feel so relieved and I know that my baby is now safe. "It's been going on for two years and has just been hell for our family. "My daughter would sometimes see him in the street and get panicked and upset. "I'm just happy he's been found guilty and now can't harm anymore children."
