A cannabis-smoking supporter of hate preacher Anjem Choudary has walked free from court after grooming a 15-year-old schoolgirl on Facebook . Mansoor Miah sent explicit photographs to the schoolgirl before inviting her to a hotel to have sex with him . The 22-year-old from Kilburn , north west London , even filmed himself in sordid trysts and sent them to the youngster who was using her Nintendo DS to access Facebook . He was spared jail after a court heard how Miah , who has shared several of Choudary 's fundamentalist tweets , struck up an online conversation about the Koran . Mansoor Miah walked free from court after sending explicit messages to a 15-year-old schoolgirl he was grooming over social media . When she told him she was uninterested in religion Miah , who worked in Tesco , carried on their conversations which turned to a sexual nature despite the girl having told him how old she was . He was handed a suspended sentence of 16 months at Southward Crown Court today . Earlier the court heard how he began speaking to the girl about Islam but soon forced the conversation in a sexual direction . 'Having talked about Islam , undeterred , Mr Miah began to chat the complainant up , ' prosecutor Stephen Requena said . 'Having talked about Islam he proceeds to chat her up , having established her real age . 'He praises her physical appearance and asks if she has a boyfriend . ' The court heard how he sent her explicit photographs of himself , urging her to do the same before performing a sex act in front of her on webcam . He was arrested last year after one of the girl 's teachers told her mother of their plans to meet in a Premier Inn in Kent . 'The mother , it seems , was scared and felt her daughter was in danger when this was discovered . The 22-year-old is a supporter of hate preacher Anjem Choudary having shared some of the cleric 's posts on Twitter . 'She describes her daughter as not that mature , which leaves her vulnerable , ' added Mr Requena . The youngster was said to have had her laptop confiscated after engaging in explicit conversations with men on social media before meeting Miah . In a statement provided by her mother she was described as 'shy ' and and 'uncomfortable ' with new people . Despite admitting to knowing the girl was underage , Miah claimed that he did not target her , adding : 'She looks 20 . ' Support : Miah is a fan of Islamist hate preacher Anjem Choudary ( above ) 'He didn ’ t seek her out , he befriended her because she was a friend of a friend , not because she looks young , she looks 20 , ' said hi barrister Edward Jones said . 'This was a young man confused about religious beliefs , smoking cannabis to significant degree . He has now sought to reform himself . 'He made a catastrophic error of judgement which he said would not be repeated . ' Sentencing , Judge Nicholas Loraine-Smith said while the defendant had planned 'some sort of sexual activity ' , he was not a 'predatory paedophile ' . 'You have not repeated this offence , so there is no evidence you are a predatory paedophile of the type I ’ m afraid we often see in this court , and the fact you did n't try again allows me to accept you were remorseful for your behaviour months before the police intervened . ' A suspended sentence is appropriate . ' A prison sentence to mark the seriousness of what you did , and a course of treatment to ensure it does n't happen again and to protect young girls . ' The judge added that if the pair had met up at the hotel or if Miah had approached another girl his sentence would have been more severe . 'The victim was just 15 and was young for her age , her mother said she was vulnerable and not streetwise . 'You had no sexual experience . You were feeling depressed and isolated , you were smoking cannabis . ' I accept you were immature for your age and once these conversations were finished you did not talk to other girls . ' He also praised him for being 'helpful ' to the police , who described him as a 'different person ' from the one who had committed the offences . Miah was also put on the sex offenders register and made the subject of a sexual offences prevention order . .
