Man gets over 2 years for non-contact friendship with teen girl

Post by Jim Burton »

It was agreed there would be no sex, and the girl told her parents she was meeting an adult, which they were seemingly "OK" with.

A man who groomed a 13-year-old girl and drove her in his car was caught after a concerned relative followed them.

Philip Thurston, 34, of Laburnum Close, Cambridge, contacted the child via social media and sent her sexualised messages.

Despite knowing her age, Thurston arranged to pick up the girl near her home.

In January, Thurston pleaded guilty to taking a child so as to remove him/her from a person having lawful control and was jailed for two years and three months on Monday.
