March 2017 Pervert that groomed schoolgirl jailed A pervert who sent a picture of his genitals to a schoolgirl and tried to meet up with her has been jailed. Gavin Fox, 36, messaged the girl over social media and sent her two pictures, including one of his genitals. The former mechanic then continued to ‘pester’ her by sending more messages, a court heard. Fox, of Market Street, Shawforth, at one point asked her to meet up with him in Manchester. However, before this could happen he was reported to police. He was found guilty after a trial at Preston Crown Court of attempting to meet or communicate with a girl under 16. He was jailed for 12 months and ordered to sign the sex offenders register for 10 years. However Fox ‘continued to contact her’ and sent her two pictures, including one of his genitals which she saw while at school. Mr McKee said the victim deleted the second picture ‘without looking at it’ but Fox ‘continued to pester’ the victim by sending more messages. The court heard how the victim told a friend and they ‘toyed with the idea’ of agreeing to meet Fox in Manchester and ‘both going to confront him’.
