Snapchat pervert who sent sickening sexual messages to '12 year old girl' claims he's not a paedo

A man who sent disgusting sexual messages to someone he thought was a 12-year-old girl claims he's not a paedophile. Jack Bowker sent messages to a fake Snapchat account set up by cops about taking the virginity of the '12-year-old girl'.

On Wednesday, November 9, Liverpool Magistrates Court heard that Bowker, 29, engaged in conversations of a sexual nature over Snapchat with a user he thought belonged to an underage girl between July and November 2021. His inappropriate conversations with the alleged pre-teen started off innocent but gradually became sexual, the Liverpool Echo reports.

Prosecuting, Callum Bryce revealed that Bowker had sent vile messages to the account about ''spanking'' her backside, lying in bed with her, having oral sex, getting an erection and also about taking her virginity. Bowker also sent selfies to the account, but did not share any explicit photos.
