Law enforcers checking school after reports of mobsters giving sex-ed lecture to…10-12-year-olds
© Sputnik / Maxim Blinov
A school and a local administration in the Russian Far East found themselves at the centre of a scandal after reports that local mobsters were invited to give a “sex-ed” lecture to middle school boys.
A post published on internet board Pikabu, described how teachers gathered male students of 10 to 12 years old in a middle school in Mikhailovskoye settlement to attend a closed lecture.
Allegedly, the lecture was held by local mobsters, invited by the former school principal.
In comments, the user, presumably a parent of one of the schoolboys, said that the lecturers told the children to live “by the code” and warned them that homosexual relationships weren’t acceptable and gays “face consequences” in prisons. The boys were reportedly threatened not to tell their parents or other teachers about the lecture.
But rumours eventually started circulating and as the Pikabu post went viral, and made headlines in the Russian media, the story caused understandable indignation from local residents and internet users. Commenters blasted school officials for the “unorthodox teaching approach” and called on officials to intervene.
“It is the 21st century!” one commenter wrote. “Is it romanticization of criminals? This is a real extremism!”
Others tried to find a reasonable explanation for the story, suggesting it was conflict between the children’s parents and the school administration. “You should take your children from this school – they are better off at home. What could they learn in a school like this?” wondered another.
The story quickly went viral and reached the authorities of the region, who launched a probe. But local authorities and the school administration deny any wrongdoing and claim that the information about mobsters wasn’t accurate.
Alexander Ukhobotin, the head of the local administration, admitted to journalists there was a lecture but said it was conducted by a school counsellor for a group of students, who bullied and harassed other students, after their parents complained.

B.C. pair accused of masterminding killing
19 years ago extradited to India
17 years to extradite a couple of murderers just screams mockery
at the Canadian Justice system
Jaswinder Sidhu, 25, was found dead, her throat slit, in Punjab in 2000
Jassi Sidhu was killed on a visit to India in 2000. Her mother and uncle are accused of planning her murder because she ignored the family's wishes and married a poor rickshaw driver. (CBC)
Inspector Amardeep Singh Rai with Punjab police confirmed Malkit Sidhu and Surjit Badesha — Jassi Sidhu's mother and uncle — landed in Delhi on Thursday morning local time.
Rai said he'd been working on the case since 2002.
"[It] has taken us almost 17 years to get them here, and the purpose was to send a clear message that the process of law in India is very clear. And anybody committing a crime here — especially the heinous crime of killing their own daughter — will be brought to book," he said.

That makes it an honour killing!
Jassi Sidhu and her husband Sukhwinder Mithu Sidhu were riding a scooter in Punjab when police said they were attacked by a group of armed men. Sidhu's throat was slit and her body was later found in a canal. Mithu was badly beaten, but survived.
In India, Badesha and Sidhu are charged with supplying money to contract killers in order to have Jassi Sidhu killed. Rai alleged that the pair had also hired a member of the Punjab police, who recruited the contract killers.
Seven others have already been convicted in India for charges including murder, attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder in relation to the death.
The pair will appear in court on Jan. 25. Rai said it's now up to courts in India to decide the pair's fate.
"Through this long process of extradition we have gotten them back here now, and they will be produced before the court of law and it will be for the court of law to take a call of what needs to be done with regards to them."
'Not part of our culture'
Rai said he hopes the extradition sends a message to the diaspora that people cannot come to India and break the law.
"These kinds of things are not humane, they are not part of our culture, and they were a corruption in a society where we were killing our own girls and daughters for making their own choices."
They have been part of your culture for thousands of years, that's why they continue, and why the diaspora go home to commit their evils, because they are much more tolerated in India. Mind you, Canada is not much better.
Man Convicted in Jassi Sidhu's 'Honour Killing' Obtained Permanent Residency in Canada
Badesha and Sidhu were taken into custody in 2012. The B.C. Supreme Court ruled in favour of extradition in 2014, but the appeal court stayed that finding.
In December, they lost a last-ditch attempt to avoid extradition to India after applying for a stay of extradition proceedings. They claimed there was an abuse of process in a plan to whisk them out of Canada in 2017, when they were pulled off a plane leaving Toronto at the last minute.
Their lawyers asked for a review of former justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould's decision to surrender the pair. Lawyer Michael Klein said Wilson-Raybould hadn't considered new evidence on prison conditions in India.
The B.C. Court of Appeal rejected the application on Dec. 11. A panel of judges found Wilson-Raybould's conduct amounted to an abuse of process, but that her actions did not warrant a stay of proceedings given the gravity of the accusations.
Jaswinder Sidhu and her husband, Sukhwinder Mithu Sidhu, were attacked in Punjab in June 2000. Jassi was kidnapped and murdered. Mithu was badly beaten but survived. (CBC)
47 men arrested by Vancouver police in operation targeting child sexual predators
Suspects greeted by police after text chats with supposed teenage girls

Vancouver police say 47 men — including a retired school teacher, a former school trustee and a firefighter — were arrested during a two-month operation last year targeting people allegedly willing to pay teenagers for sex acts.
On Thursday, deputy chief Const. Laurence Rankin said the operation began with detectives posting fake ads on escort websites and social media platforms. Those who responded were told, by text, they were chatting with a girl between 15 and 17 years old.
Rankin said the "vast majority" of men backed off after that, but 47 wanted to meet up.
Hotel meetings were set up once age, sex act and fee were established, he said. The men were arrested after showing up, apparently expecting something sexual as arranged, but running into police officers instead.
Rankin said different men had different reactions when they realized what was happening.
"You had everything from people who would acquiesce and people who would fight," he said. "Some attempted to provide an explanation… some told [officers] to go out and find criminals to arrest."
'All walks of life'
Seven of the men, including the former teacher and trustee, have been charged with obtaining for consideration the sexual services of a person under the age of 18. Police said they are working with the Crown to lay more charges.
Rankin said the men arrested come from "all walks of life," and declined to provide names for all of them, because some haven't gone before the courts.
He said there's no evidence to indicate the men knew each other. At least one, he said, was a tourist. Another was "a member of an outlaw motorcycle gang."
The Crown, however, confirmed the names of the seven who have been charged:
Mario Celo Amistad.
Jim Malmros.
Jun Jie He.
Nikolaos Dais.
Donald Schroeder.
Kenneth Clement.
Mehran Arefi.
Those men's ages range from 24 to 68 years old.
Nikolaos Dais, one of the men, previously taught at Vancouver's Little Flower Academy but is now retired, according to the school's principal, Diane Little.
She declined to say when Dais taught at the private, girls' Catholic school, but said the news is "shocking." Little said the school was notified by police.
A school website lists Dais as the head coach of the Grade 8 basketball team during the 2016-17 season.
Kenneth Clement, another man facing charges, is a former trustee with the Vancouver School Board who retired in June. He pleaded not guilty on Dec. 7, 2018, and his trial is set to begin on Oct. 29, 2019.
A statement from the VSB said the district was not made aware of his arrest. "This is extremely troubling," the VSB said.
Surprisingly easy
Several community advocates at the news conference praised the police department's crackdown.
"I'd like to see this done repeatedly — and for vulnerable adults," said Larissa Maxwell, director of anti-human trafficking programs at the Salvation Army. "Not all women or men or trans individuals who are engaged in sex work over the age of 18 are experiencing sex exploitation, but some are."
Rankin, who has 31 years of experience, said he was surprised at how easy it was to find targets.
"It wasn't very difficult. What's shocking … is we're looking at potentially hundreds of chat streams that were occurring over the social media platforms with the police officers that were posting as teenage girls. They had to turn down people."
Larissa Maxwell, director of anti-human trafficking programs at the Salvation Army, said she'd like to see more crackdowns targeting sexual predators in the city.

He said not all men who responded to the ads were interested in underage girls.
"The vast majority of the men that were seeking sex industry workers were looking for adult females, so the vast majority would turn down the offer. What's disconcerting is the small group of men … who discovered the person they were communicating with was underage and were excited about that."
Rankin stressed that no real teenagers were involved in the sting. Photos used in the online ads were composites generated by a computer.
Lawrence Myers, a criminal defence lawyer in Vancouver, said that often in cases where victims are vulnerable, the public can "understandably develop a lynch mob mentality."
"We all know that unless there's [that message] of the presumption of innocence, these people are condemned forever in our community and the community at large," he said.
"I'm very concerned on a lot of levels that we are very careful not to rush to judgment. It's merely an allegation, and that's just one step in a very long process."
I wish Mr. Myers were as concerned for the real victims of paedophilia and pederasty. I realize there were no real victims in this case, but, rest assured, there would have been had the men made contact with real children. Also, rest assured, that many men are making contact with real children every single day and are getting away with it. This kind of sting op should be run every month in every community.
Man suspected of child sex abuse to be extradited from Germany to Finland
The 25-year-old man is expected to be remanded
by Oulu District Court on Friday

A 25-year-old man arrested in Germany on suspicion of child sexual abuse will be extradited to Finland on Thursday.
The man was taken into custody in the city of Saarbrücken in western Germany on 9 January.
The suspect is one of eight men under investigation for alleged sexual offences against minors in Oulu between June and October of last year.
The man, who is suspected of aggravated sexual abuse of a minor, aggravated rape and assault, is expected to be remanded into custody by Oulu District Court on Friday.
He should have come to Canada - it takes 17 years to extradite people.

child sexual abuse

The ruling also relates to a suspended prison sentence the man received for sexual abuse of a minor and alcohol offences two years ago.
The 68-year-old had sold and provided cigarettes and alcohol to underaged children and lured them to his home. The youngest of his victims was 10 years old.
The man denied committing the sex crimes but the court found him guilty. However a separate charge of assault was dismissed. The prosecution justified the assault charge by arguing that the boys allegedly became inebriated from the alcohol they drank. The court ruled that it was not possible to determine the degree of inebriation and the possible impact on their health.
The court ordered part of the sentence to be sealed.
Welsh sex offender who downloaded more pictures of children jailed for nearly two years
A registered sex offender who ignored court orders and downloaded indecent images of children and extreme porn has been jailed for 102 weeks.

They found child abuse images on the hard drive of a laptop, including some on which Harry Potter characters had been superimposed on them with a speech bubble containing sexual comments.
Prosecutor James Neary said Hatfield appeared to be deliberately taking time retrieving his laptop from an upstairs room when police arrived.
The officers became concerned when they saw his screen saver was two images of 10-year-old girls which he said were from ‘Little House on the Prairie’.
Hatfield’s internet history only included the last two days and he claimed he had accidentally deleted the rest. Police seized the laptop and an investigation found a USB device had been used to transfer some files.
The computer’s hard drive of the laptop had still images of child sexual abuse and extreme pornography. There were 145 prohibited images on the SIM card of a mobile phone.
Hatfield, 40, of Ffordd Ogwen, Bryn-y-Baal, Mold, pleaded guilty at North East Wales Magistrates Court to possessing indecent/pseudo photographs of a child between July 2016 and October 2017.
He also admitted breaching a SHPO between November 2016 and October 2017. He also pleaded guilty to possessing an image of bestiality on October 9, 2017 and four counts of possessing prohibited images of children between July 2016 and January this year.
David Matthews, defending, told the Mold court Hatfield realised he was in “serious trouble” because he was subject to a suspended sentence as well as the SHPO.
But the solicitor said the case was a complex one because Hatfield suffered from a muscle-wasting illness, myatonic dystrophy and Asperger’s syndrome which meant he was obsessed with accessing images.
Hatfield’s father now supervised his son’s internet sessions, but because he felt the probation service and other agencies had not addressed the root cause of his son’s offending he had arranged for him to complete a programme of diversion therapy with the Lucy Faithfull Foundation, a charity dedicated to preventing child sex abuse.
“His condition is crucial and its effects meaning he is more likely to engage in obsessive behaviour. But his focus has changed to images that are legal and socially acceptable,” said Mr Matthews.
But jailing Hatfield for nearly two years, district judge Gwyn Jones said: “It was quite clear that the search history showed you had been accessing and producing pictures of young children who had been involved in sexual activity.
“This occurred during the time when you were subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and working with the probation team..”
Hatfield was also placed under a new SHPO for 10 years and told to pay a £115 victim surcharge.
ASEAN’s dismal child sex abuse record

The report titled Out of the Shadows: Shining light on the response to child sexual abuse and exploitation, included a ranking which saw the Philippines emerge as the region’s best equipped country to respond to sexual abuse and exploitation against children after finishing 16th in the 40-country survey with 55.3 points.
Malaysia was 20th with 53.4 points, followed by
Cambodia (23rd with 52.5 points),
Indonesia (32nd with 47 points) and
Vietnam (37th with 42.9 points).
The United Kingdom (82.7 points),
Sweden (81.5 points) and
Canada (75.3 points) finished in the top-three.
The score was a weighted average of four indicators; environment, legal framework, government commitment and capacity and engagement of civil society, industry and media.
Meant to raise global awareness and mobilise action to address the problem of sexual abuse and exploitation in children, the EIU report addresses an issue which the World Childhood Foundation calls a “global epidemic affecting at least 10 percent of children”.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines sexual abuse as “the actual or threatened physical intrusion of a sexual nature, whether by force or under unequal or coercive conditions” and sexual exploitation as “any actual or attempted abuse of a position of vulnerability, differential power, or trust, for sexual purposes, including, but not limited to, threatening or profiting monetarily, socially or politically from the sexual exploitation of another”.
It is hoped that with the index, which covers 70 percent of the world’s population under the age of 19 and is based on data collected and analysed between February and December 2018, countries will be better equipped to monitor their progress of reaching the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 16.2 – ending abuse, exploitation, trafficking and all forms of violence against, and torture of, children by 2030.
There is almost no chance of that happening as we have not found ways to even slow down the rapid growth in CSA and CSE. The UN will reverse climate change before they stop paedophiles from abusing children. If they can stop the increase if CSA and CSE by 2030, that would be a huge accomplishment. Nevertheless, we must try, though honestly, I think it will take an act of God to stop it.
Globally, the WHO estimates that up to one billion children aged two to 17 years have experienced physical, sexual or emotional violence or neglect in the past year leading up to February 2018.
Note: there are fewer than 2.5 billion children in the world at any given moment. If the above statement is accurate, then more than >40% of children suffer some sort of abuse annually.
A problem plaguing Southeast Asia
The numbers are just as alarming in Southeast Asia.
In the Philippines’ Cebu City, 25 percent of all sex workers on the streets are sexually exploited children. The city is a hub for live-stream sexual abuse and is also the “number one global source of child pornography” according to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). The Philippine Justice Department received more than 3,000 reports from overseas of possible cybersex trafficking cases each month in 2018.
According to Samleang Seila, executive director of Cambodian anti-paedophile NGO Action Pour Les Enfants (APLE), about 207 foreigners abused nearly 60,000 victims from 2013 to December 2018 in Cambodia – with “most of the victims children from poor communities that lacked knowledge of what sexual abuse is.”
Many are children whose families needed the money, and some of whom literally prostituted their own children. Many a paedophile justifies his predatory habits by convincing himself that he is helping the families.
Statistics from Vietnam’s Ministry of Public Security showed child sexual abuse cases had doubled from 867 between 2010 and 2013 to 1,544 in 2014 alone – meaning three children fell victims to paedophiles every day.
And those are only the ones they know about. Most of them, they don't know about.
In Malaysia, court officials took two days to read all 626 charges against a man charged with more than 600 sexual abuses against his daughter in 2017.
While shocking, these figures are hardly surprising – and the causes have been well documented. Sexual abuse and exploitation against children are multifaceted problems with roots at the individual, personal relationship, community and societal levels.
And spiritual levels! A genuine fear of God would prevent all evils against children.
Poverty, poor parenting practices, dysfunctional families, association with delinquent peers, inadequate social protection and poor governance worsen one of society’s greatest ills. In addition, poorly-trained staff in the education, medical and social services sectors are factors which lead to a lack of reporting of sexual offences – and the meagre data on the prevalence of child exploitation. And after abuses have been reported, legal loopholes, red-tape, difficulties in collecting testimonies from victims and a lack of cooperation amongst government agencies contribute to the low-conviction rates for such cases.
Also poorly trained police, and, police, judges and prosecutors with attitudes that just can't be bothered with children, contribute the low conviction and very low reporting rates.
Take for example Malaysia, where according to data released in 2016, 12,987 cases of child sexual abuse were reported to the police between January 2012 and July 2016. Of that number, charges were filed in 2,189 cases and there were only 140 convictions, a dismal conviction rate of just 0.01 percent.
A report released in 2017 by ECPAT (End Child Prostitution and Trafficking) International identified outdated laws and weak legal enforcement as increasing the risk of sexual exploitation of children across Southeast Asia, with the issue growing in recent years due to a lack of awareness.
Also, there is little awareness of the level of destruction child sex abuse inflicts on a person, usually for the rest of their lives.
Increased tourism and internet penetration are other factors that have contributed to a rise in sexual exploitation of children in the region.
Although a lot has been done to clamp down on the problem such as the implementation of harsher sentencing and special courts for abuse cases, it is obvious there is still much work to be done. And with today’s children becoming the workforce of tomorrow, ASEAN should step up technical assistance and strengthen cooperation to permanently eradicate one of the region’s worst evils.
Permanently eradicate is more than a little hyperbolic. It reveals a lack of understanding of the depth of depravity in mankind and the incredible lengths to which such people will go the destroy the innocence of a child. As stated above, I believe only God can save our children, though woe be upon us if we don't try.
WINEMAKER TO STAND TRIAL OVER CHILD SEX ABUSE CLAIMS
by Lauren EadsAn Australian winemaker has pleaded not guilty to a string of child sex abuse charges that date back to the 1990s and will now stand trial.
The incidents are alleged to have taken place between 1994 and 1996 at Springton, near the Barossa Valley wine region.
He is charged with maintaining an unlawful sexual relationship with a person under 17 years of age, and five counts of unlawful sexual intercourse.
Seppelt is a fifth-generation winemaker of Seppelt, in the Barossa Valley, which was established in 1851 by one of the region’s oldest winemaking families.
With the case now committed to a higher District court for trial, a statutory suppression on revealing his identity lapsed, allowing Seppelt to be publicly named in local media.
A trial date will be set at the end of April.
N.Z. man jailed for possessing, making and
exporting child sex abuse images
Jono Galuszka, STUFF
Palmerston North District Court
But officials believe he may have had as many as 5300 images on his computers at some point.
Milton David Mcclelland, 65, was sentenced in the Palmerston North District Court on Thursday to 10 months and two weeks' jail for possessing, exporting and creating objectionable material.
The creating charge came about after he used his phone to film an objectionable video playing on a different device.
Customs officials found 470 images and videos of child sex abuse on devices when they searched his home. They also found he was using cloud storage to save the material. Since those cloud servers were based outside New Zealand, he could be charged with exporting the material.
Analysis of his devices found they had once contained thousands of images, which had since been deleted.
Crown prosecutor Emma Pairman asked Judge Jill Moss to take those deleted files into account, even though they did not make up the charges. "The images did exist on the computer."
It would have been difficult to prove when they were deleted, or if Mcclelland – who lived in the United Kingdom until recently – had them on his computer in New Zealand, Pairman said.
Defence lawyer Mike Ryan said Mcclelland should be sentenced for only what he was charged with. He had co-operated with officials upon arrest, even giving them the passwords to his devices, Ryan said.
The judge said the "ghost images" were seriously aggravating, along with the material being on multiple devices and cloud storage. Although she accepted they were for his personal use, that kind of storage heightened the risk of the material spreading further.
She did not give him leave to apply for home detention, saying the number of images and storage methods, and the "systematic and continued offending", put that out of reach.
Teenage former Dunmow Helena Romanes student caught with child abuse images and animal porn
The images were described as "vile"
By Hannah Brown, Essex LiveAn 18-year-old "deviant" tried to delete his stash of child abuse images and animal porn just hours after police raided his home.
Jodh Bhangal, from Tanton Road in Flitch Green, Dunmow, was found to have more than 500 images and 200 movies spread across two Dropbox accounts when police visited the property but claimed he was sent them in an online chat room unaware of their contents.
Despite his protestations, Bhangal pleaded guilty to five charges and came before Chelmsford Crown Court for sentencing, with the prosecuting barrister telling the court he had likely been viewing the disturbing images since the age of 16.
Recorder Jonathan Davis described the images as “vile” during the hearing today (Thursday, January 24).
The police raid
Stephen Rose, speaking for the prosecution, told the court how the defendant's home was searched by police after they suspected child abuse images were being viewed at the property.
“On December 12, 2017, at the time the defendant would have been 17. The police executed a search warrant,” he said. “At 7.15pm, an address was searched where indecent images of children were suspected to have been viewed.
“A HP laptop and lead were seized and the defendant provided his consent allowing police to access to his internet accounts.”
Mr Rose went on to describe how 527 images relating to child abuse where found, particularly in two Dropbox accounts. The court heard that 150 of the images involved penetrative sexual abuse of a child.
An image of “extreme pornographic bestiality” was also found, along with a “pseudo movie” described as being a cartoon movie involving child abuse.
Attempt to delete the images was "not sophisticated"
Mr Rose told the court that after the police had left the address in Dunmow, Bhangal attempted to delete the images.
“It seems four hours after the police departure from the house, some attempt was made by the defendant to delete the material. This did not ultimately affect the police investigation. The attempt appears to have been wide ranging, but not sophisticated.”
The court heard how when Bhangal was initially interview by the police, he claimed the images were sent to him by an individual he met in an online chat room and that he didn’t know what they were. He claimed that when he clicked on the link he was sent, the images immediately started to download.
Mr Rose explained that the police put to Bhangal that this seemed unlikely due to the long time it would take to download the files. He added: “The defendant did consent that the material ended up in his account and that he decided to keep it.
“He admitted that he viewed four to five videos, but he denied that he had any sexual gratification from it and that it now made him feel sick.”
The court heard how the offences were likely to stretch back to when he was 16 and that there was also evidence of searching for child abuse images and bestiality images on the computers taken by police.
Offending started at just 16
Speaking in mitigation, Andrew Clowser highlighted the young age of Bhangal when he committed the offences. He said: "Mr Bhangal is 18 years of age, he doesn’t turn 19 until towards the end of March.
“Most of the offending was committed when he was 17, but it is right to say police believe the offending to taken place as far back as August 2016.
“On the face of it that could be an aggravating factor, that period of time, but I take from it he started when he was just 16 years of age. Given his age there is a degree of immaturity and sexual inexperience.
“He has no interest of carrying out or inciting any of the acts pictured in those unfortunate images.”
Not yet, anyway! Sin is progressive!
Mr Clowser went on to explain how Bhangal lives with his parents and, after leaving school, listed on Facebook as the Helena Romanes School in Dunmow, almost immediately started working full time at his father’s Wimpy franchise.
The court heard that the restaurant is struggling and that his father cannot afford to employ staff. Mr Clowser explained that Bhangal works at the restaurant six to seven days a week, receiving no wage, but gets “free boarding”
The "unusually high" number of images
Bhangal pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity to three charges of making an indecent photograph or pseudo-photograph of a child; one charge of possessing prohibited images of children and one charge of possession of extreme pornographic images involving an animal.
While sentencing, Recorder Davies stated that the number of images discovered were “unusually high” and raised concerns that Bhangal may have a “sexual interest in children”.
He said: “150 category A images, including 113 movies, that in my experience in cases such as this is unusually high number of category A movies.
“180 category B images, 136 of which were movies, again a very high number, then 197 category C images. I have to remind myself that category A involves penetrative sexual activity with a child.
“You were also in possession of extreme pornographic image and in possession of a prohibited image of a child that can be described for this purpose as a cartoon.
“At the time of the offences you were 17. This had been going on for some months, probably back to when you were 16. I am concerned you may have a sexual interest in children, you may have have some sexual deviance in your nature.
“You know that your interest in this sort of material means that it is created. If no one had any interest, it wouldn’t happen. You become part of that even though no actual contact offence was committed. I fear you are saying what you think the court wishes to hear"
He went on to state that the “fear for any court” is that after trying to obtain the images, he might move on to committing the offences pictured.
Sin is progressive - did I mention that?
Recorder Davies continued saying that the court could understand his “panic” in wanting to erase what he had been doing. “Two of your computers showed internet searches which were researches with an interest in the sexual abuse of children and images of bestiality.
“Your explanation of how you came by those images was not accepted by the police and I don’t accept them. You accept you made the decision to keep those images that you now say make you feel sick. I hope that is right, although how interest turned to revulsion I don’t know. I fear you are saying what you think the court wishes to hear.”
Bhangal was given a community order for 36 months and was ordered to spend 60 days participating in a rehabilitation activity.
Additionally, he was ordered to attend 35 sessions of an accredited sexual behaviour programme and will be listed on the sex offender register for five years.
He was also handed a five-year sexual harm prevention order and was ordered to pay a victim surcharge.
