A 27-year-old pervert is facing sentence after a jury convicted him at Maidstone Crown Court of sex offences.

Robert Barnes, who now lives in Horsham, West Sussex, denied three offences of sexual activity with a child, two of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity by sending indecent images to her and one of meeting a child following sexual grooming.

He will return to court on Friday, August 14, for sentencing.

Judge David Griffith-Jones QC ordered that Barnes be on a tagged curfew until that time.
