A PAEDOPHILE who exchanged 15,000 messages with a schoolgirl before they met and had a sexual encounter has been jailed for 18 months.

Darren McCulloch, 26, received a random message from the 14-year-old while gaming and they began chatting to each other. He was told her age but carried on communicating via WhatsApp, Snapchat and Facetime before the talk became sexualised.
