A JEALOUS 14-year-old reported her older boyfriend for committing a sexual offence after she found out he was also seeing a woman his own age, a court has heard.

Stephen Joe McQueen, 24, was originally given a caution by police, but he was later charged after he continued to see the teenager.

McQueen, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty at Taunton Crown Court to breaching a Sexual Offences Prevention Order by contacting the girl, which he was prohibited from doing.

He also admitted sexual activity with a child under 16 by sexually touching her – he claims that he kissed her rather than original allegations that he fondled her breast.

McQueen, who appeared via video link from Exeter Prison, was further remanded in custody pending pre-sentence reports and ordered to appear before a judge in Taunton on October 14.

The court earlier heard that McQueen, previously of Essex Close, Chard, was more recently living in a car on a driveway.

It was also told that he has AHDD, learning difficulties and lacks maturity, while he is currently being assessed for psychosis.
