Description
The mother of a teenager who was the victim of online sexual offences called police after her daughter was sent crotchless underwear through the post, a court has heard.
The mother asked her daughter, then 14, what was going on after the parcel containing the underwear arrived.
Norwich Crown Court heard her daughter revealed she had been communicating online with Ashton Drake, who was nine years older than her.
Ms Ascherson said police were called after it emerged Drake had sought naked images of the victim, who cannot be identified for legal reasons.
Drake had also filmed himself performing sexual acts and had asked her to do the same, in messages sent over the space of a few days between December 24, 2019, and January 4, 2020.
The defendant, now 27, of Alexandra Road, Sheringham, appeared at court for sentencing on Friday (October 13) having previously admitted one count of causing a child to watch a sexual act.
