Age at conviction could not be found.
A paedophile sandwich maker has been locked up for having sex with a teen schoolgirl and later chatting up her friend on Instagram.
Predatory Ryan Peet had been working at a Subway shop in 2018 when he met his first victim and added her to Snapchat.
Sheffield Crown Court heard pervert Peet must have known her age having seen her wearing her school uniform on a number of occasions - but that did nothing to deter him.
Prosecutor Ian West told the court that Peet treated the underage girl to a McDonalds in Rotherham and later had sex with her in his Doncaster flat.
On one occasion he took her to the zoo the following day. The court heard they had sex on 10 occasions including when he would meet her at a petrol station and take her to a secluded area near a driving range.
Peets offending came to light when his victims family became aware of the relationship between the pair and a formal complaint was made to the police.
Mr West also told the court that he and his first victim stopped meeting and communicating when he turned his attention to her friend and began messaging her on Instagram.
She refused to send explicit pictures despite Peet asking her to do so.
Peet was also arrested in January 2021 when police raided his home and seized a mobile phone and a laptop.
During a forensic search of the phone detectives found 441 indecent images of children.
Peet, of Rosedale Close, Sheffield, admitted sexual activity with a child, sexual communication with a child and three counts of making indecent images.

The Recorder Jonathan Sandiford told Peet that he had acted in a predatory fashion and preyed on young girls because it made him feel powerful and in control.
He said: In my judgment there are similarities in the way in which you groomed your first victim. There are similarities with that behaviour or at least the purpose of that behaviour.
The common feature that occurs is they were all children, they were all under the age of 16 and some of them were under 13 years of age.
You targeted them for your own sexual gratification.
Peet was handed a nine-year extended sentence - made up of a six-year custodial sentence and a three-year licence period.
