Man faces charges over online chats with 13 year old girl

A Ramsey man who's accused of having explicit conversations with a teenager in an online chat room has appeared in court. 

37-year-old Andrew Peter Corkill, of North Shore Road, appeared at Douglas Courthouse last week. 

He's been charged with inciting or procuring a person under the age of 16 to commit indecency and of gross indecency with a person under the age of 16. 

Both offences were allegedly committed on October 5th last year - the court was told they relate to a 13-year-old girl in the North West of England. 

The offences can only be tried at the Court of General Gaol Delivery - they are due to be committed there on June 15th. 

He was bailed until his next court appearance with a number of restrictions limiting his use of electronic devices.
