Married man sent sick messages to 'teen' before being caught in sting

A pervert sent indecent nude images to who he thought was a teenager telling them "look at my little willy". Terry Yates, a married man, sent a number of nude images to the girl he thought was 14, however, the account was actually run by as part of a paedophile hunter sting.

Liverpool Crown Court heard that the former Amazon warehouse worker sent a friend request to the account in May of this year and began messaging them in June. The 39-year-old was told from the outset by the account that she was 14 but he still sent her messages saying she was 'gorgeous' and 'his beautiful princess', LiverpoolECHO reports.

Prosecutor Olivia Beesley said that Yates, from Warrington, asked her to 'look at my tiny willy' before sending the account a video of him 'wiggling' his penis around. He also asked the girl to send him pictures of herself in a school uniform and record herself telling him he "had a tiny willy".
