Teen admits underage sex charge

Thursday, 6 July 2017 08:49

A teenager from Douglas will be sentenced next month after having sex with a 13-year- old girl.

17-year-old Callum Joseph Quaggan, of Oak Avenue in Pulrose, admitted having unlawful sexual intercourse at Douglas Courthouse on Tuesday.

The court was told the pair had full 'consensual' sex in the grounds of St Thomas' Primary School, on Finch Road, on or about February 19.

Both teenagers knew each other and the prosecutor told the court Quaggan knew how old the girl was.

Social Enquiry Reports have been requested before Quaggan is sentenced on August 29 - he's been bailed until that date.
