An Ipswich man who bombarded a 13-year-old schoolgirl with sexually explicit messages over the period of a year has avoided going straight to jail.
Joshua Coyne was handed a suspended prison sentence at Ipswich Crown Court on Friday for inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
The 26-year-old would have gone on trial in March, but entered a guilty plea at the same court at the end of January - thus sparing his young victim from having to undergo videoed cross examination.
Coyne, of Eustace Road, was arrested after the girl told a parent.
