After some deliberation a Whanganui District Court Judge has added Richard Glen Lisle's name to New Zealand's child sex offender register.
The 29-year-old pleaded guilty to three charges in Whanganui District Court last week. They were exposing a young person to indecent material, assisting someone under 18 to provide sex services and a charge of driving while under the influence of alcohol.
The sexual offending took place about six months ago.
No details were given, except that the victim was aged 15 and was vulnerable. The activity involved messaging, and the harm to the victim was significant, Judge Philip Crayton said.
The offending was "surreptitious", a breach of trust, and had "a number of sinister aspects".
