A Wigan man has been accused of trying to incite sexual activity from a 13-year-old girl who turned out to be a police decoy.

Anthony Tully, 35, of Leigh Road, Hindley Green, stood before borough justices charged with trying to get the “girl” to engage in a sexual act and also send semi-naked or naked pictures of herself to him.

He is further charged with having sexual communications with a person he knew to be under the age of 16.

Tully has not yet entered any pleas and the case has now been sent to a Bolton judge before whom he will make his first appearance on December 22. Before then he is on conditional bail.
