Snapchat groomer who abducted schoolgirl jailed
A Snapchat groomer who used the social media app to abduct a vulnerable schoolgirl has been jailedA judge said he "groomed" the girl to send him sexualised images and encouraged her to run away from her home in Flintshire, north Wales.On Tuesday, Caernarfon Crown Court heard Mason made contact with the pre-teen schoolgirl - who cannot be named - over the popular smartphone app Snapchat.
After convincing her to meet him, they both caught a train and made a 100-mile trip together from north Wales to Birmingham.Patrick Williamson, defending, said Mason had no previous convictions, but did have a "sad and depressing" history involving mental health issues. Judge Nicola Saffman told Mason: "You got into her head so much, she being an extremely vulnerable child. You manipulated her."
She said it had taken many months to start to repair the damage done to the girl. The victim was "enthralled" by Mason, the judge said, and didn't disclose to police everything which occurred. The judge said Mason incited the victim to take indecent images and had even encouraged her to harm herself.Related Topics
