A pervert is facing time behind bars after sending photos of his genitals to what he thought was a young girl.
Paul Texeira started chatting to who he believed was a 13-year-old child online but was actually a member of a group of paedophile hunters. A court heard that the 49-year-old's messages soon turned sexual and he sent the youngster a photo of his penis before asking for sordid pictures of her in return.
Unfortunately for him, the conversations were seen by police and Texeira was arrested. The pervert, of Windermere Street, in Sunderland, could now ben jailed after he pleaded guilty to attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child and inciting a child to engage non-penetrative sexual activity.
