33-year-old will be committed to Court of General Gaol Delivery in December
Committal proceedings against a Douglas man accused of sending graphic pictures of himself to a ‘child’ over the internet will take place in December.
Ruben Pretorius, of William Proctor Court, appeared at Douglas Courthouse where he entered guilty pleas to sending offensive, indecent or menacing messages between December 2021 and June 2022.
A charge of attempting to incite or procure a child, from 20 January last year, can only be heard at the Court of General Gaol Delivery.
The court heard the 33-year-old was engaging with someone he believed to be a 12-year-old girl but who was actually an undercover operative.
Bail was granted until his next appearance on 7 December.
Update: At Douglas Courthouse on 7 December the case was adjourned until 11 January 2024.
