Sefton man jailed for sexual offences against Northwich child

A man from Sefton has been jailed after he admitted two counts of engaging in sexual communications with a child in Northwich.

Kieran Mark Thomas, of Blackhurst Road in #Lydiate, has been sentenced to 15 months behind bars for the offences, which took place between November 22nd 2019 and January 18th last year.

The 27-year-old also admitted to making an indecent image of the girl, who was under the age of 16, on March 1st last year with the judge handing him a three month concurrent sentence for that particular offence.

Thomas first appeared before Magistrates on August 26th last year, where he entered no plea, but was given his prison sentence at Chester Crown Court on Monday, January 25.

As well as being jailed, Thomas will also have to sign the sex offenders register for the next ten years and be subject to a sexual harm prevention order for the same period.
