A pervert who sent vile videos to a "14-year-old girl" slammed the door on paedophile hunters when they turned up at his home.
John Croxford, 68, of Highfields, Prescot, started messaging who he thought was a 14-year-old girl on Facebook on February 16, 2020. But he was actually communicating with a paedophile hunting group based in Hampshire.
Croxford continued to communicate with the girl in a sexual way and encouraged her to watch porn until March 7, 2020. On the day the communication came to an end child protection team Captis Malum confronted Croxford at his Prescot home.
