A dad-of-three sexually pursued a "13-year-old girl" despite knowing he could "lose everything".
David Cooper chatted with 13-year-old 'Grace' via Kik Messenger, and tried to incite the teenager to have sex with him. But unknown to Cooper, 'Grace,' was actually an undercover police officer whose role was to find paedophiles online.
Cooper agreed with the girl in a series of online messages that her mum would kill her if she knew about their chats. The defendant added: "She won't know but I could go to prison and lose everything."
