Police said he knew his victim was 15 when they met in a park in Derby.

Det Con Alex Edwards said: “I would like to remind young people not to accept people on Facebook as friends who they do not know.

“Just because they are behind a computer screen does not mean they cannot be harmed.

“The victim is still receiving help and support. The effects of what he did are still with her.”

He was given a restraining order banning him from contacting his victim for five years and placed on the sex offenders register at Derby crown court.
