A pervert set out armed with contraception and a sex toy with the belief he was meeting a 13-year-old girl he had chatted to online. Despite Keith Hogan being 60 years old, he attempted to meet the teenager at McDonald's, Markeaton Park, Derby, for what he thought would be for some sexual activity.
But police in plain clothes set up the sting and surrounded him as he arrived at the fast food joint, and arrested him. A shocked Hogan uttered the words: "I know I have been an idiot. I just got carried away. I won't be doing this again", Nottingham Crown Court heard on Tuesday (August 30).
Hogan was caught after he had signed up to Kik Messenger, a free instant messaging and social networking app. The "child" he thought he was chatting with was actually an undercover police officer.
