Ashley Perrins, 38, was sentenced in the Goodwood Regional Court for coercing a 12-year-old girl, as well as her friends, to send naked pictures and videos for pornographic purposes.
According to the prosecutor, Yolanda Pretorius, the girl had considered him a potential love interest because he told her he was 14. "This continued for a while and he got the complainant to send him a total of 121 videos, even though the complainant said she felt uncomfortable making and sending the videos," said Ntabazalila.
He later instructed the girl to meet him at a mall, for which he booked an Uber. He attempted to kiss her, but she refused and insisted she wanted to go home. He complied and gave her R80.
