Description
A Chester sex offender has been jailed after trying to meet an underage girl for the purposes of sexual activity.
Ivan Jones, 35, of Osprey Court, previously pleaded guilty to all charges.
Appearing at Chester Crown Court on Monday, September 16, Jones was jailed for a total of four years.
The court heard that Jones, who already had a Sexual Harm Prevention Order imposed in January 2022 for previous offences, tried to get a 14-year-old girl to engage in sexual activity in March this year.
Jones also tried to breach his SHPO by arranging to have unsupervised contact with an underage girl in Chester.
The defendant also attempted to send messages to an underage girl requesting images and videos of that girl's breasts, and sent an image of his private parts while trying to request images of another girl's breasts.
Judge Michael Leeming sentenced Jones to a total of four years and extended his SHPO so it was now indefinite.
Jones is now on the sex offenders register indefinitely and, as part of the SHPO, is not allowed to have unsupervised contact with any child under 16, and has restrictions imposed on his internet usage.
