ULVERSTON MAN SENTENCED FOR PERSISTENT SEXUAL CHAT WITH CHILD DECOY
A man named Lewis Densley, aged 28, from Ditchling Hill, Crawley, was involved in a case where he engaged in sexual conversations of a 'persistent' nature with a decoy posing as a 14-year-old girl named Ruby Jones via Facebook Messenger.
Prosecutor Lee Dacre stated that Densley's messages included intentions of collecting the girl, taking her away from her home, and discussing taking her virginity.
Densley pleaded guilty to attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child between May 31, 2024, and June 3, 2024, in Ulverston.
The court heard that he was 'fuelled with alcohol and cocaine' during the offending.
He had already been subjected to a three-year sexual risk order in summer 2024 and received a 12-month prison sentence (suspended for 24 months), along with requirements such as completing 15 RAR days, a 120-day alcohol monitoring program, and being on the sex offenders register for seven years.
The judge expressed concerns about his risk to children and highlighted the importance of addressing his behavior to prevent further offences.
