A grandfather was filmed being confronted by paedophile hunters after sending vile messages to what he thought was young girls.
Neil Peters turned up in Glasgow to meet who he believed was a schoolgirl only to discover he'd been fallen into a trap.
The 64-year-old was visibly stunned when he turned up to find volunteers from Improved Maximum Exposure and Dank Dragons waiting for him. He'd earlier sparked up conversations with girl he thought were 13 and 14 on a dating website and quickly turned the chat to sex.
Shamed Peters told one girl called 'Tia' he would 'marry her in a heartbeat' and be 'honoured' to be her boyfriend despite being repeatedly told she was 13.

He sent her indecent photos of himself but warned the girl to keep the sordid chat a secret because they would both 'get into trouble'.
Peters told the other girl called 'Lucy' she was 'gorgeous' and demanded topless photos of her.
He then arranged to meet but was confronted by the groups who streamed it on Facebook.
In the footage he pleads to be allowed to leave but he was later arrested by police.
Peters, of Larkhall, appeared at Hamilton Sheriff Court and admitted communicating indecently with both girls in August last year.
He also pled guilty to attempting to meet one to engage in sexual activity.
Depute fiscal Chloe O'Hara said: "The accused messaged Lucy and asked if she lived near to Morrisons in Anniesland as he would visit her.
"Lucy told the accused she would be at Morrisons in her school uniform and he said he would meet her outside and asked if she could wear stockings instead of tights as he preferred them.
"The accused said he would come in a white Audi and she was to wait for him outside Morrisons.
"The witness along with other members of the group attended at Morrisons the following day and they pulled up to the accused's car and contacted the police.
"Whilst awaiting police arrival, the group broadcast a live stream of the sting on Facebook.
"During this the accused made several admissions including sending indecent images of himself to Lucy, said he thought she looked older but she told him she was 14, stated he was going to take her to Burger King and said 'I'm sorry, I should never have done it'."
Scott Jones, defending, said: "He has been on bail throughout and I would ask for this to be continued."
Sheriff John Speir deferred sentence on first offender Peters until next month for reports and continued bail.
He added: "That sentence will invariably be a custodial sentence so you should be prepared for that when you next return to court."
Peters was placed on the sex offenders' register.
