Downloading Snapchat has landed a convicted paedophile in court.

21 year old Matthew John George Williams of May Hill admitted breaching a Sexual Offences Prevention Order by failing to tell authorities he'd downloaded the app.

He was jailed for three years and three months in 2021 after indecently assaulting a 12 year old girl and importing £60,000 worth of drugs - he was placed on the Sex Offenders Register and given a Sexual Offences Prevention Order for 10 years.

He was bailed until he's sentenced on October 24.
