A paedophile sent images of his private parts to a 13-year-old ‘boy’ and asked for naked images in return, a court has heard.
John Jackson, now 56, of Woodvale Road, Ainsdale, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Monday for nine offences relating to sexual offences between June 7 and July 14, 2021. Graham Pickavance, prosecuting, told the court that on June 1, 2021, Jackson, using the name Shaun J, began a conversation with a profile on messaging app Kik.
It was established early in the conversation that Jackson was then 54-years-old, and the account he was talking to was somebody claiming to be 13-years-old. That account was in fact an undercover police officer, operating under a false name.
