A Lanarkshire trucker was caught sending vile messages in a paedophile hunter sting just five months after being released from prison for similar offences.
Craig Edgeler, 52, struck up a conversation with a 12-year-old girl called 'Darcy' but quickly turned the chat towards sex unaware he was talking to an adult working as part of the Shatter The Silence group. They aim to expose adults trying to meet children for sexual activity.
He sent a string of depraved messages before sending the female decoy explicit images. Further messaging led to Edgeler asking to meet at his home and a supermarket.
