A paedophile who groomed a 14-year-old schoolgirl with money and presents has been jailed for four years . Craig O'Neill , 26 , was caught at his home in Hyde , Greater Manchester , with his victim after her parents tracked him down through Facebook . Police also discovered a vile collection of indecent images of children and extreme pornography on his home computer . O'Neill was jailed for four years after he pleaded guilty to a series of charges including child abduction at Manchester 's Minshull Street Crown Court , yesterday . There was no evidence that there was any sexual contact between the pair , but Judge Potter said that O'Neill was 'very close to getting what he desired ... sexual gratification ' . He said : ' I have no doubt that what you were doing that night were acts that were designed by you to encourage her . ' O'Neill , a former chimney sweep , first connected with the girl on Facebook and the pair met twice in June 2013 . He gave her £400 in cash on the first occasion then bought her clothing , pyjamas and £100 Ugg boots in Manchester . The girl , who can not be named , had told her mother that she was meeting a friend at McDonald 's but went to O'Neill 's house that night where they drank vodka and he smoked cannabis . Andy Smith , prosecuting , said her mother became anxious after she said she wanted to stay out and then turned her phone off . Her mother alerted her friends and a message she had sent to one of them on Facebook revealed her location to be on O'Neill 's street . Police officers attended with her mother , but they did n't know his exact address . The girl 's parents returned shortly after 6am the next morning and knocked on doors until a neighbour pointed them in the right direction . Found : The schoolgirl 's parents used Facebook to track her to O'Neill 's home on this Manchester street . Mr Smith said O'Neill answered the door in shorts and a T-shirt and that the girl 's parents recognised him from their daughter 's Facebook account . He said : ' O'Neill said he had not touched her . Her dad ran upstairs and pushed the bedroom door open . She was there . She was wearing the pyjamas he had bought her . ' The police were alerted and O'Neill was arrested . The court heard that in interviews , he accepted that he knew she was 14 . Analysis of his computer revealed a collection of indecent images of children and extreme pornography had been downloaded . Following the conviction yesterday , the girl 's mother spoke of her terror and issued a chilling warning to parents over the dangers of Facebook . She said : 'She knows now how dangerous the situation was . You never know who people really are on Facebook . Parents should never take their eyes off their children 's computer use . 'My daughter is quiet and sensible but not very streetwise . I just can not understand how this happened under my nose . I can not forgive myself really . ' I now have control over my daughter 's Facebook password . ' I can honestly say I had some sort of guardian angel because I had never seen the guy and I did n't know where he lived but we managed to find him . 'She is a good girl and feels a bit silly by what has happened . She has learned her lesson . She now knows how dangerous it can be to meet people through Facebook . 'She is now going to college and to work in healthcare . The one thing I would say to any parent is to install the GPS software on your children 's phone and to make sure they know about the dangers . ' Lewis Bretts , defending O'Neill , said : 'He has shown his remorse . He understands how serious these offences are . ' O'Neill was ordered to sign the Sex Offenders ' Register for life and subjected to a Sexual Offences Prevention Order to monitor his activity on release .
