A pervert who tried to pay teenage girls to have sex with him was snared when it emerged the girls he'd been speaking to were in fact paedophile hunters.
Alexander Budd, 41, offered to pay £400 for a girl in Manchester to have sex with him, even increasing his offer to £550 if he could choose the outfit she wore.
He was caught when it emerged "Maddie," 14, and "Abi", also 14 were fake profiles set up by paedophile hunters to catch predators online, Preston Crown Court heard.
