Officers from the National Crime Agency began investigating John Harrison, from Tipton, after the 74-year-old predator was found to have been exchanging indecent images of children on a social media platform.
He was arrested in February 2021 and had a number of devices seized before being released on bail.
While the NCA investigation was ongoing, Harrison was found to be committing further offences, this time engaging with a 14-year-old boy on the same social media platform.
