Shane Ryan, of Brookside Avenue, Mansfield Woodhouse, also sent a video online to the child of him performing a sexual act. Nottingham Crown Court heard there was no 13-year-old – just a “decoy account online”, said prosecutor Sarah Munro. The account was set-up by a man who was part of a group, not named in court, that later tracked down Ryan at his home and waited for police to arrive. At Nottingham Crown Court, he pleaded guilty, over a video link from HMP Lincoln, to attempting to incite a child to engage in sexual activity between October 28 and October 31 this year. After his plea was entered in November, he attended court for sentencing today (December 22), and was ordered to sign the sex offenders’ register for five years. He was also given a sexual harm prevention order, and will be disqualified from working with children. Judge Steven Coupland, who handed out his punishment, gave him a three-year community order, 15 rehabilitation activity days and 200 hours of unpaid work in the community.
