A married pervert asked what he thought was a young girl to take "bra selfies" before sending her sexually explicit messages.
Philip Hughes blamed his "sexual frustration due to issues in his relationship" for contacting the 14-year-old child on social media site, Whisper. However, unbeknown to the 38-year-old, the "girl" was actually an undercover police officer and, despite being immediately told her "age", he asked if she liked older men, a court was told.
Prosecutors said that Hughes then pretended to be an 18-year-old male and sent pictures to the girl of a young, adult man, partially exposing his penis. He then asked how big her breasts were, told her to send him a "bra selfie" and went into explicit detail of the sexual acts he wanted to do to her, Newcastle Crown Court heard.
