Paul McKay, a 31 year old man from professing family in the Moira area, was sentenced at Craigavon Crown Court for offences including attempted sexual communication with a child and attempting to cause or incite a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity.
McKay will serve nine months in custody and nine months on licence. He will be placed on the Sex Offenders Register for 10 years and will be subjected to a Sexual Offences Prevention Order (SOPO) for seven years.
Detective Inspector Richard Vasey said: “McKay, who thought he was sexually communicating with a 12 year old child online, had actually been communicating with an undercover police officer.
“Let this serve as a reminder to those who think they can go undetected in online spaces. We are everywhere. I have a highly dedicated team with specialised equipment who can trace any digital interaction right back to the persons front door. We continue to work robustly in this area to identify and bring perpetrators behind a screen, in front of a judge to answer for their crimes.”
WINGS Note: Changed from ‘professing man’ to ‘man from professing family’ after further information was provided to WINGS. McKay had harrassed young professing people.

Is this accurate?
I am not aware that Paul McKay ever “professed”, his parents do or at least did, but he won’t have been in fellowship meetings since at least a teenager.
I think this is becoming unhelpful if this is just an attack on the fellowship with anyone vaguely linked to it. There are thousands of people will this very limited connection.
For the record, I don’t believe Paul has ever professed – maybe somebody else will know?
I also have been told by a contact in N.I. his parents used to profess but he has never professed.
As far as I am aware Paul has never professed.
