Shaun Lepla, aged 52, who has a previous conviction for soliciting a female for prostitution, also sent “Hannah” a picture of his private parts and asked her about dressing up in leather and PVC.
However, the “girl” he was sending the material to was a decoy profile set up by vigilante group Charlie’s Angels, an organisation which aims to catch child predators.
Shrewsbury Crown Court was told that on December 18 last year, Lepla started a chat with “Hannah” under the false name of “Adam” on the messaging app, Randochat. The decoy identified herself as a 13-year-old girl from Yorkshire.
Photographs were exchanged between the profiles, before Lepla said he wanted to kiss her.
“He asked what colour her underwear was and told her she ‘gets him going’, demonstrating that he was getting sexual gratification,” said prosecutor Danny Smith.
On December 19, Lepla told “Hannah” that he wanted to “hold her bum while he kissed her” and made even more graphic and lewd comments.
