A man has been jailed after admitting a number of sexual offences - including one in Nuneaton.

Macauley Colledge, appeared at Warwick Crown Court today (September 27), where he admitted to two counts of engaging in sexual activity with a girl aged 13 to 15.

The 20-year-old also pleaded guilty to two counts of causing or inciting a girl aged 13 to 15 to engage in a sexual act and one count of perverting the course of justice.

Colledge, of no fixed address, was also made subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and a Restraining Order.

Colledge befriended the vulnerable teenagers using social media, and the court heard that in one incident in January, he met the two girls and they went to a park in Queen’s Road, Nuneaton, where he supplied them with alcohol before engaging in sexual activity with them.

Afterwards, Colledge got one of the girls to delete messages from her phone.

An investigation was launched after the mother of one of the victims raised concerns with police.
What has been said by police?

Detective Constable Paul Hinton from the Warwickshire Police Child Sexual Exploitation Team said: “This case demonstrates how sexual predators can use social media to target vulnerable children and should serve as a warning to parents. It is important parents talk to their children about staying safe online and put appropriate controls in place to protect them.

“I hope this case gives anyone else who has been a victim of online exploitation the confidence to come forward. We will listen and we will take action.”
