Pervert told '12-year-old girl' on Snapchat he would spank her and take her virginity - but says he's not a paedophile

A pervert sent messages to a '12-year-old girl' on Snapchat saying that he would spank her and take her virginity, a court heard.

Jack Bowker engaged in sexual conversations with the 'girl' despite her age being 'mentioned on several occasions'. The 29-year-old did not realise that he was in fact speaking to an undercover police officer, the Liverpool Echo reports.
