Liam Cann, 22, from Essex, groomed and engaged in sexual activity with boys as young as eight after bribing them with FIFA points on Xbox online
A church bell-ringer who sexually abused young boys was caught after he repeatedly made the same typo when he hacked into a victim’s Facebook account to send messages proclaiming his innocence.
Liam Cann, 22, was jailed for 10 years after grooming children as young as eight by giving them money and bribing them with FIFA points – used to buy players and kit in the Xbox online game.
Once he had won their trust, he would then engage in sexual activity with them, prosecutors said.
When concerns were raised about Cann’s actions, the bell-ringer hacked the Facebook account of one of his six victims to send messages to his own Facebook account.
