CHURCH volunteer Daniel Nicklin has been locked up after grooming a teenage girl and then having sex with her.
The 28-year-old – who helps out at Hanley Baptist Church – took advantage of the youngster, who was under 16, and encouraged her to engage in sexual activity.
Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court heard ‘intelligent’ Nicklin asked for pictures of his victim and sent her images of his own body.
The abuse has ‘ruined the childhood’ of the victim, the court was told. Now Nicklin has been jailed for five years and placed on the Sex Offenders’ Register for the rest of his life.
