A Halesworth man who engaged in sexual communication with a schoolgirl has been warned he could be jailed when he is sentenced in March.
Before Ipswich Crown Court on Tuesday (January 25) was 21-year-old Liam Everett, of Holmere Drive, Halesworth.
He admitted engaging in sexual communication with an 11-year-old girl child between February 1-19, 2019.
The details of the charge were that being a person over the age of 18, for the purpose of obtaining sexual gratification, Everett had communicated with a person under 16, namely 11, and the communication was sexual.
Judge Emma Peters adjourned sentence for a pre-sentence report until March 2 and told Everett: “I want to be clear that although I’m asking for a pre-sentence report I’m not ruling out the possibility of you going immediately to prison.
“You should prepare yourself for all options."
Judge Peters allowed Everett’s bail to continue.
