He was sentenced to a six months community order with up to 10 days supervised by the probation service and ordered to pay £85 costs plus £85 victims’ surcharge by Blackpool magistrates.

Brett Chappell, defending, told magistrates: “He admitted matters straightaway in police interview. He is absolutely devastated by what he has done. He suffers from depression and anxiety.”
