A PERVERT was snared chatting sexually to a girl he believed was 14-years-old.

Paul Brown, 50, was instead talking to a decoy from a vigilante group at his home in Glasgow’s Queens Park between March and April 2020.

Brown’s sick chats included asking the decoy to cuddle on a bunk bed and if she wanted to see him in a shower.

Brown pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to sending written sexual communication to a girl he believed was 14 but was an adult.

The court heard a man working for the Maximum Exposure vigilante group set up an account on the dating site using the name 'Amy' who was a 14-year-old girl.

The decoy was contacted by Brown who was immediately told: "Am only 14 btw (by the way), is that ok?"

Brown replied: "Yes we are only talking."

The conversation moved on to the WhatsApp chatting service where Brown requested two non-sexual images of the decoy.

He then sent an image of a man lying on top of a bed in boxer shorts.

Brown said: "On the one bunk there is not much room."

The decoy replied: "I'm tiny anyway lol."

Brown later stated: "Cool we can cuddle up."

Brown also told the decoy to drink her mother's wine and stated he would perform a sex act on himself.

He said in a later chat: "You don't want to see me in the shower, do you?"

Brown sent a further erotic picture of a man and asked if the decoy wanted to see it.

He sent a further 13 messages in April 2020 which went unanswered by the decoy.

Police were given the chat logs by the vigilante group and Brown was arrested at his home.

He admitted he had made an "inappropriate comment" to the girl but claimed he apologised.

Sentence was deferred until the end of the month for background reports.
