Record details
A man has been sentenced to more than two years in prison for sexual offences involving children online.
Michael Dyos, of College Road, Southwater, West Sussex was jailed for a total of two years and six months on Monday (17/3) following a hearing at Lewes Crown Court.
The 59-year-old pleaded guilty to one count of arranging/facilitating the offence of causing/inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and two counts of breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
On 8 July last year, Dyos drove from Southwater, near Horsham, to Littlehampton to meet with a person who he thought was a 13-year-old child, having previously been involved in an online chat of a sexual nature with this person.
When he arrived in Littlehampton he was met by police officers and arrested. He was then charged on 9 July.
Dyos’s Sexual Harm Prevention Order, which was in place before the commission of these offences, remains in place until April 2031.
