UK Pedo groomed 15-year-old
Paedophile used web networking site to lure a girl of 15:
That picture just screams child molester doesn’t it? That’s 38-year-old Simon France of of Arnold, near Nottingham in England. He’s a registered sex offender.
Simon France, 38, already a convicted sex offender, was being monitored by the authorities and supposedly getting “help” for his crimes from probation officers in a special programme.
Well obviously the program didn’t work. France was arrested for grooming a 15-year-old girl over the European social network Facebox (now Netlog).
He met the 15-year old girl on the site then persuaded her to meet him for sexual liaisons in his car and at two Travelodge hotels in the Stockport area, a court heard.
Police were alerted to the relationship after the girl’s best friend found about the affair and reported France to a child protection agency.
Later the girl – who was unaware France was on the sex offenders register – said: “Now that I know the full picture about Simon it sickens me.
I hate to keep beating a deceased equine but parents, this should serve as just one more warning in a year and a half long series of warnings that you need to monitor your kids’ activties online.

I just thought id say I know the girl in question and her parents have nothing to do with it.
She thought she was safe and had nothing to worry about and why shud she!
She didnt know he was a pedo.
Shes strugglin to come to terms with it as it is so leave her parents out of it and let us both hope she never sees this…
