Ms June Tinsley:

We are referring to the preparatory acts involved to lure a child into a situation. Grooming them online is obviously becoming increasingly prevalent, certainly through social networks, either by appearing as an adult trying to befriend a child or setting up a false profile as a child, trying to befriend another and then making efforts to meet that child to engage in sexual exploitation or to show child pornography. I was referring to that activity. At present, there is no particular offence of grooming.
