A PAEDOPHILE who engaged in sexual activity with a child has been jailed at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
Sean Bernard Kelly was caught communicating with a 13-year-old boy on various occasions between September 2014 and July 2015.
He also met with the boy at an address in Kinning Park where they engaged in sexual activity.
Kelly, of Ivanhoe in East Kilbride, appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court after pleading guilty to communicating with the teenager with the intention to engage in unlawful sexual activity.
His defence agent told the court that the 49-year-old, who has mobility issues, had pleaded guilty to prevent the child from having to give evidence.
Sheriff Potten ordered Kelly to face 19 months in prison and a further nine months on licence.
He will also be subject to the notification requirement for a period of 10 years.
