In addition to these restrictions, the court sentenced Beeton to a community order, which includes the obligation to complete 100 hours of unpaid work. This sentence reflects the seriousness of his offenses and the need for rehabilitation and community safety. The case highlights the ongoing efforts by law enforcement and judicial authorities to combat online exploitation and protect vulnerable young people from predatory behavior in the digital age.
