A paedophile who groomed a 15-year-old girl for sex has been jailed for more than seven years.
Jonathan Alford tried to throw police off the scent when the girl complained about what he had done by creating a Facebook page in her name on which she said she had made up the allegations.
The 33-year-old was caught with images of child abuse and bestiality on his computer and later admitted being attracted to under age girls.
Alford, of Lower Wear Road, Exeter, admitted six counts of sexual activity with a child, seven of making or possessing indecent images of children, three of having extreme pornography and one of perverting the course of justice.
He was jailed for a total of seven years and three months by Judge Phillip Wassall at Exeter Crown Court.
The Judge told him:"You had a sexual interest in 15-year-old girls and you began grooming this victim and sending her very explicit texts.
"It is said on your behalf she was a willing participant but that was because by then she had responded to your grooming and it led to a sexual relationship when she was 15.
"You took two indecent images of her and you also had images on your computer which depicted really serious abuse of children.
"Your attempt to pervert the course of justice involved you creating a Facebook page which you then indicated to police and which you said showed she had confessed to lying about her allegations.
"This led to her being re interviewed by the police, which put an even greater impact on her and her family."
Mr James Taghdissian, prosecuting, said the sexual relationship with the girl began when she was 15 in around 2010 and her family noticed her behaviour changed.
When it came to light the girl told police she had engaged all sorts of different sexual activity with Alford but known what they were doing was wrong.
The images were found on Alford's computer when the police investigated but he had denied everything until the day of his trial when the victim was at court waiting to give evidence.
Mr Rupert Taylor, defending, said there was no question that the relationship with the girl had been fully consensual.
He said:"He found her attractive and was flattered by her attention. She was a young woman who was enthusiastic and willing and in control of what she was doing."
