September 2019 Man jailed after sexually exploiting two teenage girls he befriended online A Warwickshire man was today (Friday 27 September) jailed for four years and seven months after admitting to sexual offences against two teenage girls he befriended online. Macauley Colledge, 20, of no fixed abode, appeared at Warwick Crown Court for sentencing.
He had admitted two counts of engaging in a penetrative sex act with a girl aged 13 to 15, two counts of causing or inciting a girl aged 13 to 15 to engage in a sexual act and one count of perverting the course of justice.
The court heard that Colledge befriended the vulnerable teenagers using social media. In one incident in January, Colledge met the two girls and they went to a park in Queen’s Road, Nuneaton, where he plied them with alcohol before engaging in sexual activity with them.
Afterwards, Colledge got one of the girls to delete messages from her phone.
The Warwickshire Police Child Sexual Exploitation Team launched an investigation after the mother of one of the victims raised concerns with police.
