SEAN YOUNG FROM MILLOM SENTENCED TO 40 MONTHS FOR CHILD SEX OFFENCES IN CUMBRIA

A 25-year-old man from Millom has been handed a prison sentence of 40 months after being found guilty of multiple sexual offences involving minors. Sean Young's criminal activities primarily involved targeting underage girls through various social media platforms, where he engaged in grooming behaviors and encouraged sexual activities.

According to court records, Young used online communication channels, including illicit Skype calls and other inappropriate forms of contact, to manipulate and exploit young victims. The offences spanned over a period of more than a year, during which Young maintained contact with his victims, attempting to build trust and manipulate them into engaging in sexual acts.
