Michael Farney, 51, of Michael Crescent, Malvern, was sentenced at Worcester Crown Court on 15 October after entering guilty pleas to all 24 charges. He incited eight young girls to carry out sexual acts and made them look at sexual images. He then attempted to do the same to two more girls.

Farney also made 40 indecent images of children. Six of these images were category A, the most serious classification, seven were category B and 26 were category C. Sentences for the offences ranged from two years to nine years and four months, but will run concurrently, resulting in the nine-year-four-month sentence.

Farney has been ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register for life and is subject to a lifelong sexual harm prevention order, which prevents him from working with children. His devices will be seized and he must pay a £228 surcharge.
