A man has been charged with online child sexual offences.

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.
