Description
A Coventry man who groomed what he believed to be two teenage girls has been jailed. Ahmed Kajee was sentenced at Warwick Crown Court.
Police arrested 55-year-old Kajee in Coventry in February. He believed that he was speaking to 13 and 14-year-old girls, who were found to be decoys from Saving Childrens Futures.
Kajee pleaded guilty to two counts of attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child. He also admitted to inciting a girl aged 13 to 15 to engage in sexual activity, Warwick Crown Court said.
Kajee, from Coventry, was sentenced at Warwick Crown Court on Wednesday, December 18. He will spend two years in jail.
A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: “It is illegal for anyone to have, share, or make sexual images or videos of people under 18. We will decide whether to take action depending on things like evidence of exploitation or grooming.
“Children can become victims of abuse on the internet through online games, social networking sites, and apps such as Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat. To help protect children while they are online, encourage them to talk to you about how they use the internet and show you what they do.
“Have an agreement in place and set boundaries for their internet use, such as when and where they can use their devices and for how long. Check age ratings that come with games, apps, films, and social networks to confirm whether they are suitable.
“Activate parental controls on your home network and all devices, including mobile phones and game consoles, and safe settings can also be activated on sites such as Google and YouTube. Make sure they are aware of the risks of sharing images online and that you both know how to remove content should you need to.”
