Friday, 22 October 2021 12:38

A Jersey man has been jailed for two and a half years after pleading guilty to causing or inciting a sexual act with a child.

30-year-old Scott Peter Graham Le Corre was arrested in May after reports that a man approached some school children in St Helier and asked indecent questions.

The children told staff at their school who reported it to the Police.

He was arrested after being identified using CCTV images.

He's also been placed on the Sex Offenders Register for seven years and given a seven-year restraining order.
