A Dutch man has been placed on the sex offenders' register for indecently assaulting a 15-year-old girl he met via the Internet.
The 27-year-old man, who has since returned to Holland, was cautioned yesterday by Sussex Police for the assault in Worthing and placed on the register for five years.
A police spokeswoman said: "People, especially children, should be careful who they chat to on the Internet.
"We would strongly advise against subsequently meeting anyone in person unless a responsible adult is present."
The man has not been named.
