Convicted sex offender sent explicit messages to girl, 8, from prison cell

A CONVICTED sex offender has been jailed after he sent an explicit message to an eight-year-old girl.

- Toby Wright

Toby Wright, 27, added the child on Snapchat before sending her a message saying "you're cute".

The girl immediately responded, asking him to leave her alone and stating her age, to which he replied, saying he liked "little girls". The girl reported the incident to her parents and gave them her phone, but Wright continued sending videos, including one showing him performing a sex act.

Wright had previously been sentenced for meeting a child following grooming. He was serving a prison sentence for that offence when the messages with the eight-year-old came to light, and he was interviewed in prison after the girl's parents called the police.
