A pervert has been jailed after sickening online exchanges with what turned out to be an undercover police officer.
Benjamin Parr thought he was chatting to an internet user called 'Dan' but had been caught in a covert sting. He had struck up a conversation on Kik, in a group police believed was linked to child sexual abuse and they began to exchange private messages.
During four days of vile chat, Parr confessed he "loved things he shouldn't like", said he needed a child who was "trained" and boasted that his "eyes had only recently been opened" when he was sent an image of a girl aged seven or eight and he "liked it".
