BOGNOR MAN CONVICTED OF SEXUAL COMMUNICATIONS WITH CHILD
A man has been convicted of the charge of sexual communications with a child after sending pictures to the profile of a 13-year-old girl.
Sacha Dixey, 47, sent messages, selfies, sexual comments and a sexual image to a child profile on social media between November 10, 2021, and November 22, 2021.
Dixey, of Mayfield Close, Bognor, posed as a 39-year-old man from London.
He was arrested on November 30, 2021, and was charged with sexual communications with a child and arranging and facilitating sexual offences with a child.
Following a four day trial at Lewes Crown Court, beginning on October 28, he was found guilty.
He is due to be sentenced on December 12 at Lewes Crown Court.
Investigator Rose Horan commented that 'Dixey was prepared to use the names of his associates rather than admit his guilt.
He is now a convicted sex offender.' The article states that police set up child profiles to catch paedophiles online but did not confirm if this method was used in Dixey's case.
Dixey denied the offences and blamed the messages on another man who he claimed was staying with him, also using the name of a known person as a username for the profile.
