Jonathan Beech from Acrefair, near Wrexham, engaged in disturbing online communications with what he believed to be underage girls.
He messaged two decoys, claiming it would be "cool to have a 13-year-old girlfriend" and expressing desire for inappropriate encounters.
Beech made sexual remarks, sent topless images, and discussed engaging in sexual activities with minors.
He was arrested after police discovered indecent images of children of categories A, B, and C on his device.
During the court hearing, he admitted to two counts of attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child and three counts of making indecent images.
The judge sentenced him to a total of 18 months in prison but suspended for two years, requiring him to complete the Horizon treatment program, attend rehab, pay fines, and remain on the sex offenders register for ten years.
