A 64-year-old man who met a 13-year-old girl on a chatline was jailed for 12 months after he admitted having sex with her.

Bernard Peake told her he was 49 years old and said she had told him she was a 19-year-old glass collector in a nightclub.

The teenager said that Peake called her a number of times to "talk dirty" with her and eventually she agreed to meet him.

The girl lived in Wakefield, Yorkshire, and Peake picked her up at her local railway station and took to her his house in Whitefield.

On the way home he stopped and bought a condom from a supermarket and then, after watching TV, he took her upstairs and had sex with her.

Later the pair met on a number of occasions where the girl willingly had sex with him. She told her mother that she was staying with a friend.

The relationship only came to light when Peake sent the girl a birthday card containing £50 in vouchers.

Yesterday, Peake, of Furness Avenue, Whitefield, appeared at Bolton Crown Court for sentence.

He admitted five counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a girl aged under 16 and other charges were left to lie on the file.

Judge Gillian Ruaux said Peake had seduced a 13-year-old girl over a three-month period and only a custodial sentence was possible.

She sentenced him to 12 months in jail and ordered he sign the Sex Offenders' Register for 10 years.
