Can you go to jail for talking to a minor online in the UK?

It is common knowledge that having sexual relations with a minor under the age of 16 years old is illegal, regardless of whether or not they consent to the activity. But what about chatting, whether in person, online, or through messaging apps? Here, the law gets a little more complicated. Whether or not this is illegal depends on the nature of the conversation. Where both parties are under the age of 16, the crucial factor is whether any indecent photographs were exchanged. Landing up on the wrong side of the law could lead to a serious criminal conviction, and jail time. Here, we unpack the different criminal offences relating to communicating with minors.

What is child grooming?

Child grooming is where a person ‘builds a relationship, trust and emotional connection with a child or a young person so they can manipulate, exploit and abuse them.’ Often the purpose of this grooming is facilitate the sexual abuse, exploitation or trafficking of the child. Grooming can take place online or in person. Sometimes the groomer will also establish a relationship with the young person’s family or friends to make them seem trustworthy or authoritative. Where grooming takes place online, the groomer may assume a false identity e.g. by sending photographs of someone else and pretending to be them, often someone closer to the age of the child.

According to the NSPCC, the number of reported cases of online child grooming in the UK have increased by almost 70% in the past three years.

Is talking to a minor online illegal in the UK?

It is not illegal for an adult to talk with a child online per se, but sexual communication with a child is a criminal offence. As of 3 April 2017, groomers who target children through mobile phones and social media could face up to two years in prison if convicted of ‘sexual communication with a child’. They will also be added to the sex offenders register. According to the government, the purpose of this offence is to enable the police and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to intervene earlier in child grooming cases, before sexual activity has occurred.

The offence of sexual communication with a child is set out at Section 67 of the Serious Crime Act 2015, Section 15A. The elements of the offence are as follows:

1. The perpetrator is over the age of 18
2. They intentionally communicate with a child under the age of 16
3. The perpetrator does not reasonably believe that the child is over the age of 16
4. The communication is of a sexual nature, or is intended to encourage the child to make a communication which is sexual
5. The perpetrator was acting for the purposes of obtaining sexual gratification

The offence will be made out regardless of whether the child communicates with the adult. Between April 2020 and March 2021, police recorded 5441 offences of a sexual communication with a child, demonstrating the prevalence of this offence, and the zest with which the police are enforcing this new law.

In addition, where indecent photographs of a child are sent, one or both parties may be prosecuted under the Protection of Children Act 1978.

According to the NSPCC, 32% of child grooming takes place on Instagram, whilst 23% occurs on Facebook and 14% of offences happens on Snapchat.

Is flirting with a minor illegal?

Whether or not flirting with a minor is unlawful depends on if it meets the criteria for sexual communication with a child under the age of 16 set out above. The offence of sexual communication with a child applies both to online activity, and verbal conversations had in person or via the telephone. For example, say you are 20 year old man. You message a 14 year old girl via Facebook. If you ask her to send pictures of herself without clothes on, you would be committing the offence of sexual communication with a child. However, not all communication with a child online would be sexual communication.

The term ‘flirting’ implies that the conversation is driven by sexual attraction, which might suggest that it would fulfil the offence of sexual communication. However, whether flirting comprises sexual communication depends on the following criteria:

1. Was the ‘flirting’ communication of a sexual nature or was it intended to encourage the child to communicate in a sexual way?
2. If the answer to the first question is yes, was the communication for the purposes of your sexual gratification?

If the answer to both questions is yes, then the conduct is unlawful.

Is exchanging messages with a minor illegal?

Not all communications with a minor under the age of 16 are illegal. For example, it would not be unlawful for a teacher to communicate with a child regarding their homework, providing that this was permitted by the school’s policy, and the communication was made in good faith. Similarly, if you had agreed to collect your friend’s child from school, it would not be unlawful to communicate with them to organise a time and location to be picked up.

However, any messages exchanged with a child of a sexual nature are likely to be unlawful. For example, if you are over the age of 18 and you exchange messages with a child under the age of 16 with the purpose of meeting up to partake in a sexual activity, you would be committing an offence. Likewise, if you sent or encouraged them to send messages of a sexual nature, with the purpose of obtaining sexual gratification, you would most likely be committing the offence of sexual communication with a child.

Is ‘sexting’ a minor illegal?

‘Sexting’ is a slang term for the action or practice of sending sexually explicit photographs or messages via mobile phone. If you are over the age of 18 years old, and you are sexting someone who is under the age of 16 years old, it is likely that what you are doing is illegal, as it would comprise sexual communication with a child. Where pictures are exchanged, it would also be an offence under the Protection of Children Act 1978. This old law makes it an offence to distribute indecent pictures of children.

If both the parties are under the age of 16 years old, whilst a prosecution for sexual communication with a child would not be possible, one or both could be prosecuted under the Protection of Children Act 1978. Thousands of children have been investigated for this offence, even where the sexting was consensual. Between January 2017 to 21 August 2019, 6499 children under the age of 14 were investigated for sexting offences.

What is the Sex Offenders Register?

Since 1997, if you accept a police caution, or receive a conviction for a sexual offence you will be added to the Sex Offenders Register. This includes internet-based sexual offences. If you have served a custodial sentence, within three days of your release you sign the register at your local police station. If you do not sign the register, you are liable to be prosecuted for a further criminal offence. Upon registration, you will need to provide:

• Your full name and any other names that you use
• The addresses of any properties that you stay at for more than 7 days per year
• Your date of birth
• Your national insurance number
• Your passport details

You will also need to notify the police:

• Of all foreign travel
• If you are staying with a child under the age of 18 for 12 hours or more
• Of certain financial information such a credit cards and bank account details

The police will require you to return to the police station at regular intervals to confirm you are still complying with the register requirements. If you do not have a fixed address, you will have to sign in at the police station once a week.

The length of time that you will spend on the sex offenders register varies depending on the length of your sentence.

We had an issue with the police raising an incorrect safeguarding issue against our daughter because we used a Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) which they disagreed with (wet cupping therapy). The police wanted us to sign a community resolution order admitting that we assaulted our child! We spoke to Mohammed Zeb who swiftly acted to contact experts in our field and his field, along with experts in social services matters and gave us recommendations to challenge the police. Their weak case quickly dissolved into no further action when the police realised that we would not accept a resolution order claiming we assaulted our child.I would strongly recommend Mr Zeb to all and would use nobody but them in the future.

Stuart Millers were great at dealing with a tricky case and managed to get a great outcome. From the first meeting and hearing, Abu Kibla was friendly, knowledgable and very helpful and you can see a genuine care for his clients. Luke Collins did the day to day and was great at preparing clear written representations and dealing with the CPS. Kathleen Joyce attended the final hearing and despite a last minute time change by the court the day before, she was well prepared, presented the case and mitigation arguments perfectly and was very reassuring and comforting throughout the whole day. Professional, responsive and reasonable fees. Would definitely recommend the firm.

Unfortunately I got myself into abit of trouble and didn't have a solicitor at the time. When I was in the police station I was asked if I wanted a solicitor and I said yes and I was then put in a cell till I was interviewed. Officer come to my cell to take me to my interview and asked if I wanted to consult with my solicitor I said yes, when we got to the Consultation room Mr Zeb was waiting for me and he ensured me that everything was going to be okay and this case will be solved with no problems at all and he was right I got NFA and the case was dropped that's all thanks to Mr Zeb he was very professional in this field and was intouch with me and kept me updated with everything that was going on. I will definitely use this firm again in future.

Words can not do justice to Stuart Miller Solicitors. I am forever grateful to Mohammad Zeb and Savannah who came to me like angels along with their appointed barrister Harry Mcdonald when my son was on trial. With my son having three charges against him along with joint enterprise which included affray and violent disorder. They took the case on and from the very 1st day kept me updated with the progress and supported me throughout the case. With my son in remand and a serious injury to his face they kept him motivated and in the right frame of mind with video links. Also they were available to him even on weekends if he had any questions. Their guidance and professionalism was absolutely outstanding. Savannah was superb throughout this case. Her approach to everything made it easy for me and my family. The barrister Harry took the case on at short notice and what a outstanding approach he had. Being in court for the 1st time for my son he represented my son superbly. After arguing his defence for my son for 7 gruelling days my son was found not guilty of all charges. I can not praise Stuart Miller enough. A must go to firm if you are in a unfortunate situation and need legal help. Wish Mohammad Zeb, Savannah, Harry Mcdonald and everyone at Stuart Miller the very best for the future. A very big thank you from me and my family.

If you need a criminal defence solicitor that delivers results, contact Mr Zeb. He s the best in his field. From the moment I walked into Stuart Miller Solicitor's office, I knew I was in good hands. His unmatched expertise and personalized approach ensured that my charges dropped before the hustle of reaching out to court, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Stuart Miller Solicitors are very good but Mr Zeb is the best. I highly recommend him and the firm to anyone facing legal challenges

Unfortunately got myself in a situation where I needed legal representation. My solicitor was great, but attention needs to be drawn especially to Amirah. She well and truly went over and beyond what most people would do, to help me resolve the situation. Nothing was ever too much, in fact it was her who pushed things further than I'd have even asked her to, she really does care about not just her occupation, but the people she helps. Cannot say enough good things about her... not just good legal representation, but an actual lovely person who genuinely cares, and you don't get that very often anymore. So, thank you to Stuart Miller Solicitors in Wood Green, but definitely, more importantly, to Amirah.

Jake Elliott

11:46 02 Aug 23

Abu Kibla represented me for my second drink driving offence, and not only that I had no license or insurance. Perhaps I am exposing myself saying that but you need the context as Kibla managed to get my ban reduced from 3 years to 2.5, and only a 200 pound fine. Aside from being very professional at what he does, he's also a good guy, who has your back. He explained my situation to the judge in a clear way I wouldn't have been able to. Don't hesitate!

R M

20:05 01 Aug 23

I would like to thank everyone at Stuart miller especially to Kibla for their excellent work. At a time when things were very hard for me they helped me win my case. I hoped for total support from Stuart Miller when I instructed them, I got so much more. I would highly recommend Stuart Miller to anyone seeking for a reliable legal team. Many thanks again for everything, you were brilliant.

I really don't know where to start, but this firm is amazing. From my initial contact, then my first meeting With Mr Zeb, I knew I was going to be in good hands.I found myself in a very difficult situation in March 2019 and my case did not come to an end until July of this year. Throughout, there has always been good communication and although the outcome of my case was not looking good, I'm glad the team were honest about what to expect.I would like to thank Reem Khatib especially, who went above and beyond. I couldn't have asked for a better solicitor. Very thorough and informative and helped put my mind at ease as there were several aspects of my case that made things extremely difficult. One thing I loved about Reem was that she cared. Really, really cared, which is what you want in a situation like this. In the lead up to my sentencing hearing, Reem was abroad and still checked in with me.I was expecting a custodial sentence with a starting point of 5 years and managed to leave court with a suspended sentence/community service. This could only be down to Reem's dedication and hard work. Nobody expected this and I am very glad to have had her working on my case. As well as my Barrister, Lily, special thanks to you also. I really don't think I would have had this outcome had it not have been for you two.I am glad this is finally over and once again would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Reem. She really fought for the best possible outcome, which I received.I will never find myself in any trouble again, but would highly recommend Stuart Miller Solicitors for anyone that may need a solicitor.Thanks againJahnel

Stuart Miller helped me navigate through the legal process for the first time, providing excellent guidance throughout the entirety of such a stressful period. I would like to thank Selina Guler for her wonderful work in preparing my defence, as well as Joe Barlow, who were exceptionally helpful throughout the process, explaining everything that arose in detail so as to ensure I could make informed decisions throughout. My experience felt personalised, and gave me the reassurances I needed to calm my nerves, in comparison to the regular ignorant demeanour that typically comes hand in hand with law firms. I felt supported and in safe hands from my initial enquiry right through to the end.
