A sex offender who thought he was talking to a teenage boy asked him to bring his school shoes with him to a meet 'to engage in sexual abuse', a court was told. But Peter Cumberland, 31, was actually chatting to a 'paedophile hunter' posing as a schoolboy - and has now been jailed.
Cumberland sent explicit messages and a photo to the decoy, who was pretending to be a teenage boy on Facebook in July 2021. During the messages, said he would 'make [the boy] a man' when they met at Blackburn railway station, a judge was told.
He also said he would kiss the boy's feet and use his shoes for sexual purposes, Preston Crown Court heard.
