A TEENAGER who posted her photo on a website was bombarded with sex invitations from older men, a court heard yesterday.
Three men were warned they faced jail sentences after pleading guilty, between them, to a total of 17 charges.
The girl – who put her picture on the Faceparty website intended for over-16s – was only 13 when she first had sex with Gary Wilson, 4
1. Later, they had sex in a car parked in woods near Edinburgh.
The same girl also received chatroom messages from Daniel Walker, 33, about his fantasies.
She engaged in sexual activity in a hotel with Martin Murray, 36, and he took explicit photos of her.
The High Court in Edinburgh heard police were called in September 2006 when the girl's mother found a note containing cash and examined her computer.
James Wolffe, QC, the advocate depute, said details of internet conversations between Wilson and the girl were found. They searched his home in County Durham, and the father of two confessed.
Walker, of Glasgow, had sent the girl £50 and a note. Police seized his computer and found chatlog messages between him and a number of girls under 16.
When police visited Murray's home in Irvine, he told them: "I think I know why you are here."
Wilson pleaded guilty to charges of indecent behaviour and sex with an under-age girl. Walker admitted charges of indecent behaviour and sending an indecent photo to another man.
Murray admitted indecent behaviour and making indecent photos. All three are now on the sex offenders' register and remain on bail pending sentence next month.
