Lee Jones' bid to have intimacy with children cost him a prison sentence. It turned out that, rather than chatting to actual young girls online, and sending one a photo of his private parts, he was actually conversing with paedophile hunters.
Jones, 42, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child and attempting to meet a child following sexual grooming, relating to each decoy.
Judge Michael Longman jailed him or two-and-a-half years. He told Jones: "You believed they were young girls but they were decoys."
