James Grenfell, of Braintree, Essex, was arrested in Scotland for having sex with a 13-year-old Devon girl whom he met via Facebook.
The 22-year-old man has been jailed for 18 months after admitting having sex with the girl.
He admitted to three charges of sexual activity and a fourth charge of meeting a child following sexual grooming at Exeter Crown Court according to the source.
Det Sgt Brian Slade of Devon and Cornwall Police’s child exploitation unit said after the case: “The internet is a wonderful resource which provides a fantastic opportunity for learning and communication.
“Unfortunately, this does also present opportunities for those with a sexual interest in children – grooming is a very worrying concept for any parent.
“One of the most important things is to ensure your children are chatting to people they know in the real world, not purely in the virtual world.
“If they do not, they can never be really sure who they are talking to.
