Carnmoney man jailed for child sex offences
A Carnmoney man has been sentenced to six months in jail for engaging in sexual acts with a schoolgirl.
Ryan Large, from Fairhill Drive, appeared at Laganside Courts on Thursday, February 5, where he pleaded guilty to a total of six charges.
The 25-year-old was convicted of causing or inciting a child under the age of 13 years to engage in sexual activity, intentionally engaging in a sex act in the presence of a child and exposure.
A further charge of engaging in a sex act in the presence of a child aged between 13 and 16 years was left on the books.
All the offences took place on dates between September 1, 2012 and June 18, 2013.
Taking into account Large’s early guilty plea, the judge sentenced him to six months in prison on each count, with the sentences to run concurrently.
Upon his release, Large will be subject to a Sexual Offences Prevention Order for a period of five years.
