A 74-year-old man has been convicted of seven counts of arranging to commit child sex offences.
Clive Jones, of Bempton, East Riding of Yorkshire, was convicted following a six day trial at Durham Crown Court.
The offences took place earlier this year when Jones contacted a woman on numerous occasions with the intent of arranging sexual activity with a child.
He has been remanded in custody for sentencing next month.
Officer in the case DC Rachel Hall said:
“This was a concerning case where a fully grown man was taking a sickening sexual interest in a child, arranging to meet the child and expressing perverted sexual desires.
“I am reassured that he has been convicted of his crimes and is now remanded in custody, awaiting sentencing next year.
“I hope this sends a very clear warning to anyone considering committing similar offences. We will carry out a full and thorough investigation and will do everything in our power to put you before the courts.
“If you have any information or concerns about sexual offences call our non-emergency 101 line to report it.
If you would prefer to report information anonymously you can do so via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
