A PAEDOPHILE sexually abused an underage schoolgirl while on bail for grooming another teenage girl, a court heard.
-
Cian Williams was 18 when he began sending messages of a sexual nature to a 13-year-old on Snapchat. While on bail for these offences, Williams brazenly committed similar offences against a 14-year-old.
Williams, now 20, was sentenced to nine years’ detention for targeting the two girls.
He admitted multiple offences of sexual activity with a child, causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and grooming a child. A further charge of perverting the course of justice was allowed to lie on file.
