A man who spent the night with a 12-year-old girl he said he thought was 19 has been jailed.
Carl Hodgson, 28, invited the child to his flat in Manchester city centre a few days after they first made contact via a popular adult dating app.
He filmed her on his mobile phone as she wore a body stocking and sent it to a friend, Manchester Crown Court heard.
Hodgson also pleasured himself while the girl watched.
He pleaded guilty at earlier hearings to causing or inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity; engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child; distributing an indecent photograph of a child; and making indecent photographs of a child.
Following earlier hearings, he wore sunglasses, a scarf and put his hood up as he left court.
In sentencing, Judge David Stockdale QC, the Recorder of Manchester, told Hodgson: "[The victim] was by reason of her age highly vulnerable to exploitation and she was no doubt impressed by you.
