A FIREFIGHTER had sex with a teenage girl in his car after meeting her at a school open day when she was 13, a court heard.
Scott Cameron allegedly told the girl she was “gorgeous” and asked her to send nude pictures before setting up a meeting in the woods.
The father of two, 39, met the alleged victim at a recruitment event at her school when she was 13.
Later, she went with a friend to leave a card at the fire station as a thank you to the team.
Jurors heard that Cameron somehow got hold of her number and started texting the girl while pretending to be a colleague who liked her.
About a month later, he allegedly started asking her for photos – including pictures of her in a bikini from a vacation.
Liverpool Crown Court was told she ended up sending some “partially clothed” pictures but the firefighter asked for more.
Prosecutor Steven Ball said: “These demands became more persistent. They escalated into threats.
“The accused, according to the prosecutor’s office, told her things like he would stop talking to her if she didn’t send the ‘real’ ones and that the pictures would be sent around. He even offered to pay for the photos.”
About ten months later, Cameron told her who he really was and asked to meet her in the woods.
The court heard she told him she was only 13, but that did not “put him off”.
Instead, the “intensity and frequency” of their messages and meetings showed that Cameron “certainly could not resist”, it said.
The couple allegedly started meeting regularly, and on one occasion they had sex in his car.
Jurors were told the girl eventually deleted Cameron’s number after he became “argumentative” in his messages.
Cameron – who was based at Crosby Fire Station – was later arrested after the alarm was raised.
He told officers that the girl, who claimed to be a sixth-grader, approached him after she recognized him from a visit to the school.
Cameron claimed that “nothing sexual happened”, but admitted that “he was sent some pictures that he did not ask for and which he immediately deleted”.
But he later admitted he had sex with the girl – although he claimed he believed she was 16 at the time.
Mr Ball said: “The prosecution say this was not a one-off or random meeting where one mistake could have been made, but this is a case which chronicles a man making his own decisions, who knew exactly what he was doing and used all his wider experiences gained as an adult to take advantage of the impressionable and obliging 13 or 14-year-old young girl who was the object of his attention.”
Cameron denies a total of 11 sexual offenses and the trial continues.
