Charges:

ackson, who claimed he was the victim of the group, admitted attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child and was given a community order.

At the sentencing hearing, his barrister asked if the sexual harm prevention order he was given could be relaxed to allow him to entertain children, but that was rejected.

Judge Robert Adams sentenced Jackson, of Ashgill, Albany, Washington, to a community order for two years with mental health treatment and rehabilitation requirements.

The judge said Jackson must sign the sex offenders register and abide by the Sexual Harm Prevention Order for five years.

Judge Adams made it a condition of the order that he has no contact with children without the permission of parents, who are aware of his conviction, and of social services.
