Man had sex with girl, 13, he met online

A man who had sex with a 13-year-old girl after befriending her on a social networking site has been remanded on bail pending sentence.

The 24-year-old Dublin man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, used a false name and claimed to be 19 when he requested a friendship with the teenager on Bebo.

He later admitted to her he had used a false name and photograph but then became friends with the victim on another site and swapped phone numbers.
