The charges are in connection with a SEROCU investigation into an incident in which Jones travelled to Horsham, Sussex, on Thursday, to meet a person he believed was a 13-year-old child after making arrangements online. Instead he was met by SEROCU officers. The arrest was supported by officers from Sussex Police. 

Detective Inspector Andy Hedley, of SEROCU, said: “This arrest and subsequent conviction is the latest in our work to ensure that those who are prepared to commit sexual offences against children are brought to justice and that our communities in the South East are kept safe from harm.”
