March 2016 Man jailed for grooming schoolgirl for sex A man has been jailed for inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. George Andrew Doughty (14/08/1971) of Camrose Gardens, Bolton was sentenced yesterday, Monday 14 March 2016, at Bolton Crown Court to 3 years in prison, given a sexual harm prevention order for 5 years and ordered to sign the sex offenders register for life. He had pleaded guilty to inciting a child to engage in sexual activity at an earlier hearing. In the summer of 2013, Doughty began sending messages that were sexual in nature to a 14-year-old girl through social media. He asked her inappropriate questions on a number of occasions before he encouraged her to go on Skype to speak to him. When the victim agreed, he tried to convince her to engage in sexual activity on webcam. The victim immediately ended the call before Doughty messaged her apologising. She later confided in a family member about what had happened and the police were called.
