Richard Gerard Meehan, 55, was sentenced in the Victorian County Court last Friday to two years’ jail, with 21 months fully suspended for two years.
Meehan pleaded guilty to using a carriage service to procure a person under the age of 16 for sexual activity.
The charge forms part of a new Federal law aimed at stopping sexual predators meeting young people through communication services such as the internet and text messages.
