Carlo Tritta , an 18 year old when his predatory behaviour began, obsessively groomed a 14-year-old girl he met through the online gaming platform Roblox. He kept indecent images of the girl and travelled across the country from his home in Hampshire to visit her even though he had not been invited.
Such behaviour could have led to dreadful outcomes and he was sentenced to 18months in jail.
The girl's mother discovered what was heppening in August of 2025 but the grooming began in 2024 and became Tritta's obsession, causing great distress for the girl and her family. On one occassion Tritta walked in through the back door of the girl's house in an attempt to ask her to drop the complaint, he also sent letters and attempted to contact her by phone.
The report does not state how the parent discovered the communicatios but clearly she was either monitoring her child's communications or found it following the girl sharing what was happening.
Monitoring or checking a child's devices or devices is not snooping but an important parental responsibility to ensure children are kept safe.
