A Doncaster Paedophile, Mehmet Yumusak, has been imprisoned for using social media apps to target and interact with a vulnerable child with learning problems.
Mehmet Yumusak’s misbehaviour surfaced when the victim’s mother complained to authorities that her 13-year-old daughter had been chatting on the Likee and TikHub apps to an older man, MT.
Mehmet Yumusak discussed courting the young daughter in the texts, requesting her to visit his house, and including “love you” and “miss you”.
Knowing their age difference, he urged her to provide him with sexually explicit pictures before then and instructed her to delete all the texts he had sent.
The official in charge of this case, Investigator Fiona Booth, said:
“Mehmet Yumusak aimed at a helpless little child ignorant of the risks of chatting to older males online.
“All she wanted was a friend, and she thought he was one, but his motives were much darker; a long inquiry has now exposed his sinister activity.”
Pictures he had provided to the victim helped identify 46-year-old Mehmet Yumusak of Camden Place, Balby Bridge. His devices were taken upon arrest and forwarded to our Digital Forensics Unit for examination.
This revealed he had contacted his young victim, and Mehmet Yumusak was imprisoned for a year at Sheffield Crown Court last Thursday, July 11, after pleading guilty to engaging in sexual communication with a child and forcing a 13 to 15 aged girl to engage in sexual activity – no penetration.
Mehmet Yumusak entered not guilty pleas in connection with three counts of creating an indecent photograph of a child and one count of possessing an extreme pornographic image, which were ordered to remain on file.
Mehmet Yumusak also received a 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order prohibiting him from using any computer or device able to access the internet and a 10-year restraining order against his victim.
