Jordan Hutchinson had previously been apprehended by paedophile hunters attempting to engage with a minor, yet he persisted in reaching out to a 14-year-old girl to solicit sexual relations.
Jordan Hutchinson engaged with an online decoy profile created by Dark Justice, and despite his initial doubts regarding its authenticity, he extended an invitation to ‘Amy’ to visit his residence.
After his detention, he was freed under police investigation, subsequently committing a more egregious violation by contacting a genuine female on Snapchat and persuading her to engage in sexual activity with him.
Jordan Hutchinson, residing on Portree Close in Birtley, Gateshead, admitted guilt to seeking to meet a minor after sexual grooming and persuading a minor to participate in sexual activity.
The 24-year-old, who clasped his hands in a prayer-like gesture during sentencing, has been incarcerated for over two years.
