A Coast father whose “sexual frustration” led him to start an erotic conversation with a teen girl has been found guilty of child grooming offences.
Jason Scott Hastie planned to meet an undercover police officer, who he believed was a 14-year-old girl, after having online sexual conversations with her between December 28, 2019 and January 16, last year.
The Dulong resident pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to using the internet to procure children under 16 and grooming a child under 16 years with intent to expose to indecent matter.
During a two-day trial a jury heard how Mr Hastie had sexual conversations with the girl over a number of social media platforms and told her he would like to “lick her out”, “feel her t..s” and “f..k her”.
