Mohammed Hoque, 44 of no fixed address, appeared at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Tuesday, 21 March where he was sentenced to four years in prison and three on extended licence after pleading guilty to two child sex offences including arranging/facilitating commission of a child sex offence and attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child.
Hoque used Facebook Messenger to start a conversation with an account which he believed belonged to a 14-year-old girl. After this account clearly stated she was only 14, Hoque’s messages became increasingly sexual, including asking multiple times for her to send explicit pictures before sending her a picture of an erect penis.
