A Windsor man who was the centre of protests and a police investigation into child luring has pleaded guilty.
Ryan Jessop entered a guilty plea in provincial court on Tuesday to a charge of telecommunication with a person believed to be under 16 years of age for specific criminal offences.
A charge of making sexually explicit material to a person under or believed under 16 years for specific criminal offences, was dropped.
Jessop was charged August 8th, 2017 after a woman showed police a video created by a third party, of a man posing as a 13-year-old girl who began an online conversation with another man in his 40's.
The messages became sexual in nature, and explicit images were sent.
The two agreed to meet in a public place and the video concluded with the man posing as the 13-year-old-girl confronting Jessop about his intentions.
Jessop was sentenced to 10 months in jail, is prohibited from owning weapons for 10 years, two years probation and his name will remain on the sex offender registry for 20 years.
Jessop must also pay a $200 surcharge.
