Description
A 23-year-old sex offender, Tristan Shaughnessy, is due to be sentenced after admitting to sexually communicating with a child under 16.
Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court heard that Shaughnessy—who has 10 siblings—asked a schoolgirl for "sexual intercourse" in messages sent between August 1, 2022, and October 1, 2022.
The offense came to light one year after his 2021 sentencing for breaching sex offender notification requirements by sleeping in a house with three children.
Shaughnessy, of Canary Road, Adderley Green, pleaded guilty to the charge.
Elizabeth Power, mitigating, said:
“He accepts the communications sent from his phone to the complainant. He is now 23 years of age, but he was aged 20 at the time of the offending.”
He has been released on unconditional bail and will be sentenced at the same court on November 25.
