Lee Rogers, of Cruckmeole, Hanwood, near Shrewsbury, had a vile sex chat on Whatsapp with what he thought was a 13-year-old girl called Maisie.

However, 'Maisie' was a decoy profile being ran by an online group set up to detect paedophiles.

Shrewsbury Crown Court was told how the 35-year-old told the 'girl' on April 3, 2022 he wanted to show her something sexual, before sending a video of adults having sex.

The next day, he asked her to "take her knickers off and masturbate".

Shortly afterwards, the information was passed from the group running the 'Maisie' profile to a similar paedophile hunter organisation, which prepared a sting operation.

Rogers was fooled into going to a hotel on April 10 to meet what he thought was an adult woman who was interested in him. Instead, he was greeted by a hunter team who live streamed the confrontation on social media.
