Undercover police caught a pervert online after the officers pretended to be three young girls. Self-employed Robert Fletcher, who works in construction, thought he was conversing with the girls, all under the age of 16.
But Nottingham Magistrates' Court heard on Thursday (September 8) they were in fact undercover police posing as the children, and this led to 25-year-old Fletcher's arrest in Nottingham. As well as the online sexual chats, he sent them pictures of his private region.
Fletcher, who is of no fixed address and whose date of birth is December 2, 1996, pleaded guilty to attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child, and engaging in sexual communications with a child by sending sexualised messages and images last year.
