Man from Shotton jailed after admitting online child sex offences
A 44 year old man who believed he was speaking to young girls online has been jailed for four years.
Tibor Tompos, of Ashfield Road, Shotton, was sentenced at Caernarfon Crown Court on 7 July.
He had previously admitted attempting to incite a girl to engage in sexual activity, attempting to cause a child to look at images of sexual activity, attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child, and making indecent pseudo-photographs of a child, meaning computer-generated images depicting a child.
In May 2024, Tompos began sexualised communication with an online profile he believed belonged to a 13 year old child.
The profile had in fact been set up by a paedophile hunter group, and Tompos was arrested by police.
Examination of his devices found further sexualised communication with two more accounts he believed belonged to 14 year old girls.
He sent explicit images and videos of himself to the accounts and asked for sexual images in return.
Those two accounts were also decoy profiles.
Tompos was jailed for four years and made subject of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order, a court order restricting his contact and behaviour, lasting 15 years.
Police Constable Becky Bannister, of the Online Child Abuse Investigation Team, said Tompos had shown he was a danger to girls by attempting sexualised communication with three young girls.
She said: “It is lucky on this occasion that they were all decoy profiles and that no child became victim to his predatory behaviour.”
“We will relentlessly pursue those who engage in online child sexual abuse to protect children in North Wales.”
Anybody with concerns about online child sexual exploitation is asked to report information to North Wales Police, anonymously via Crimestoppers, or to contact a support agency.
