A man with a 'Peter Pan Complex' seduced a schoolgirl and then blocked her on social media after sex.
Jordon Randall, now 26, also talked another girl into exchange lewd photographs before blocking her as well.
He has now been jailed for five years after admitting having sex with a 13-year-old and encouraging another victim to swap images.
Judge Heather Norton told him that under new laws had the victim been a "just a few months older", the sentence would have been "in double figures".
Randall, of Charles Drive, wept throughout the hour-long hearing at Canterbury Crown Court - watched by one of his victims.
She told the judge, in her impact statement, she had been a virgin at the time and was so traumatised she contemplated suicide.
Judge Norton heard the victim had later gone missing and was found standing on Rochester Bridge wanting the pain to end.
She said: “The past two years has been an horrific journey...because the events of May 2016 play in my head day in and day out.
“I (later) began to self-harm, struggling to keep my pain under the surface."
Canterbury Crown Court heard Randall sent messages to the 13-year-old via Snapchat within days agreed to meet.
The two met in a carpark in Gillingham when Randall drove the child to a secluded wood where they had protected sex.
Prosecutor Tim Forster said after dropping off his victim, he then blocked her on social media.
He added Randall was arrested after police received an anonymous tip-off and discovered that around the same time, he was grooming another 14-year-old schoolgirl.

After receiving a topless photograph of her he again blocked her on social media, he added.
Detectives examined messages between Randall and his victims in which he admitted he was facing prison if he was caught and swore one of the girls to secrecy.
Daniel Stephenson, defending, said Randall was very immature and had a 'Peter Pan Complex' preferring to be around young people.
Judge Norton, in sending him to prison, said it had been "systematic grooming" of children "designed to improve your own self-worth" at the expense of the feelings of his victims.
She also criticised the fact it had taken two years for the case to get to court which was both “unacceptable and cruel” to the victims and the defendant.
Acting detective sergeant, Paul Edwards, said: "Randall has proven himself to be a manipulative predator, deliberately engaging with children and using their vulnerability to fulfil his sexual gratification.
"He presents a very real danger to children and I welcome the sentence he has received.
"This behaviour is not acceptable and I would like to commend the victims who helped the investigation and pursue justice."
An NSPCC spokesman added: "Randell clearly poses a serious threat to children, systematically abusing his victims despite knowing their ages.
"It is right that he has now faced justice and we hope both children are receiving the support they need to recover from their horrific ordeals.
"This case demonstrates the risks associated with social media.
"Our #WildWestWeb campaign is calling on the Culture Secretary to force social media companies to use technology to flag up grooming behaviour to moderators and warn children before they are at risk of being abused."
