Paedophile Jailed for Grooming Teenage Boy

Leon Richardson, 22, from Cambridge, has been sentenced to five years and four months in prison for grooming a teenage boy and engaging him in sexual acts, including with his own younger brother.

The grooming began on 10 October when Richardson contacted the schoolboy on social media. Initially, their messages were innocent, but quickly turned sexual. Richardson sent explicit images and videos of himself to the boy, and encouraged him to reciprocate.

He further persuaded the boy to engage in sexual acts with his brother, recording these acts and sending them to Richardson. He also attempted to meet the boy under the pretense of guitar lessons.

The sexual messages continued for several months, until the boy's parents discovered the conversations on his phone. After realizing his actions were discovered, Richardson confessed to the crimes at a police station.

At Cambridge Crown Court, Richardson admitted to charges including: [insert specific charges here]. He was sentenced on 4 April, receiving a five-year and four-month prison term with an additional three years on licence.

Richardson was also placed on the Sex Offenders Register for life and given a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) to monitor his future actions.
