A man from Crawley has been given a suspended sentence.

28 year-old Adam O’Sullivan pleaded guilty to attempting to incite a child to engage in sexual activity and three counts of making indecent images of a child in July last year.

The conviction came after an investigating police officer posed as a 14 year-old girl online.

O’Sullivan was sentenced to 22 weeks in custody, suspended for 18 months.

He was also given a seven-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
