Man coerced teens into sex acts online

A young man who posed as a teenage girl on Facebook in order to sexually exploit underage boys has been sentenced to five years with 18 months suspended.

Raymond Brennan, aged 22, was 19 when he 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 threatened to publish explicit images of one victim online if the child didn’t send him more.
