Man jailed for ‘grooming’ girl, 14

The 32-year-old west of Ireland man “groomed” the girl, mainly by text messaging, and went on to have a series of sexual encounters with her over a five-month period.

He had pleaded guilty to six charges of defilement of a child and one count of sexual assault of a child in 2011. Neither of the parties can be identified by court order.
