Man used Facebook to exploit teen boys sexually

A man who posed as a teenage girl on Facebook in order to sexually exploit boys will be sentenced in December.

The 21-year old, who was 19 at the time, convinced three boys aged between 13 and 14, to send him sexually explicit pictures of themselves and to masturbate via an online video link.

He later told gardaí he didn’t think there was anything wrong with what he was doing and that he did it to explore his sexuality.
