A man has been charged with online child sexual offences.

The 50-year-old, from Barrow, was arrested on Saturday afternoon at Barrow railway station, Cumbria Police said.

He has since been charged with attempting to meet a girl under 16 years following grooming and attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child.

He was remanded in custody to appear before Preston Crown Court on 3 June.

Cumbria Police said people should not act in a way which could compromise the course of justice, including posting anything about the case online.
