A former radio host has been sentenced to two years in jail for sex offences involving young people.

Jason McIntyre was sentenced on Friday at a Bracebridge courtroom.

The former DJ first made contact with a teen under the age of 16 back in December of 2012, in Gravenhurst. He encouraged the teen to touch him in a sexual way.

Last year, McIntyre used a computer in the Gravenhurst area to reach out to a young teen. McIntyre was also found to be in the possession of child pornography.

In June, the radio DJ pleaded guilty to two counts of luring, a count of sexual touching and possession of child pornography.
