A 35-year-old man will face court after allegedly detailing sexually explicit acts to who he believed was the mother of a nine-year-old girl he attempted to groom.
Jacob Alexander Hutton was arrested by Child Abuse and Sex Crime Squad detectives in Sydney’s inner west about 9am on Monday after a month long investigation.
Police will allege in court Hutton believed he was talking the 42-year-old mother of a young girl in early April when he went at length to describe the sex acts he wished to perform on the nine-year-old.
He was instead engaging with officers from the Child Exploitation internet Unit.
A search warrant was executed at his home after the arrest where detectives seized a mobile phone.
Hutton was then taken to Newtown Police station where he was charged with using a carriage service to groom a child under 16 for sex and using a carriage service to transmit, publish or promote child abuse material.
He has been denied bail to appear at Central Local Court on Tuesday.
The charges were laid after the probe by the state’s Strike Force Trawler detectives, who for a number of years have been cracking down on child exploitation, abuse and grooming over the internet.
