Predator arrested at nursery after sending sick messages to young 'girls'

A depraved paedophile sent shocking messages to what he believed to be 11, 12 and 13-year old girls. However, they were actually adult decoys from a local vigilante group, who hunt down perverts, and the North West Organised Crime Squad, reports Manchester Evening News.

Across various social media platforms, James Barber, 56, groomed and chatted to the ‘girls’ for a number of days and told them he was looking for "young, sexy girls." He told the decoys that he "liked innocence" and added that "young girls just make me excited" before he was eventually arrested at a nursery in Altrincham where he worked as a cook.

The sick beast, of no fixed abode, also sent indecent images of himself to the ‘children’. At Manchester Crown Court yesterday,he admitted making indecent images of children after a number of vile pictures were found on his phone.
