A Salisbury Paedophile predator, Darren Warner, who lurked in online chatrooms transmitted obscene photographs to a ‘girl’ before to orchestrating a sexual encounter.
Darren Warner engaged in dialogue with 13-year-old ‘Maisie’, an undercover police officer impersonating a teenager.
The duo swiftly transitioned from an online conversation site to Kik, where the girl disclosed her age to Warner.
Arrangements were established for a meeting “in a public park or car park in Southampton” for sexual activity at the conclusion of May 2024; however, Darren Warner terminated the plans, as shown before Southampton Crown Court.
Darren Warner, residing on Fairfield Road in Salisbury, admitted guilt to charges of orchestrating or facilitating sexual activity with a minor involving penetration, deliberately causing a child to view an image of an individual engaged in sexual activity, and attempting to induce a child to participate in sexual activity.
Darren Warner received a two-year sentence, which was suspended for two years.
He is required to fulfil 26 probation sessions and five rehabilitation activity days, remit £150 in expenses, and be on the sex offenders’ register for a duration of ten years.
