A BELFAST man accused of sex offences against a schoolboy allegedly discussed "moving in" with him once he turned 16, the High Court heard today.
Prosecutors also claimed sexually explicit messages featured among 1,000 pages of Skype chat between the pair.
Details emerged as the 23-year-old defendant was refused bail.
Categorised as a high-risk sex offender, he has been granted anonymity due to fears he would commit suicide if named.
He denies four counts of intentionally engaging in sexual touching on dates between July and October last year.
The man allegedly met the 14-year-old boy for sex after they communicated through an online video game.
He is further charged with breaching a Sexual Offences Prevention Order (SOPO) by failing to notify authorities of new employment at a bar in the city.
Police launched a fresh investigation into his activities amid concerns from the boy's father about alleged encounters.
During a special interview process the teenager said he had been at the accused's home up to six times following contact on Snapchat messenger, a previous court was told.
He also claimed the pair used the League of Legends gaming app to communicate when they weren't together.
They were said to have exchanged pictures of a sexual nature, according to the prosecution.
In court yesterday Crown lawyer Natalie Pinkerton revealed a laptop computer seized as part of the investigation contained more than 1,000 pages of alleged communication between the pair.
She said one message stated: "When you turn 16 I will ask you to move in."
According to the prosecution another entry included the observation: "When you're 18 we will have been dating for four years."
Ms Pinkerton added: "There are some sexually explicit details within that log."
Forensic tests have also been carried out on the accused's bed covers.
Mr Justice Horner was told the alleged victim cannot be excluded as contributing DNA to the sheets and duvet, although no positive identification has yet been made.
Denying bail, the judge said any future application should involve possible secure accommodation for the defendant.
