Derbyshire police trying to identify man called ‘Bryn’ in online child grooming probe

The offences, which occurred in September, involved a man messaging a young teenage girl explicit images before meeting in person in Derbyshire.

He is described as being around 6ft tall, of medium build, with short blonde hair and a freckle on his left cheek.
