Moment Paedophile hunters ambush Morrisons worker who used Plenty of Fish to ‘lure a 14-year-old girl for sex’
- The man had been 'speaking to a 14-year-old girl on dating site Plenty of Fish'
- But paedophile-hunters Divison H filmed a man at Cwmbran railway station
- They say sent messages talking of 'sharing a bed' and 'letting our hands wander'
- The vigilante gang filmed the encounter and a subsequent arrest
A
Paedophile-hunting vigilante gang used Facebook live to snare a
Morrisons worker, wearing his name badge and uniform, who they claim was
hoping to meet a 'minor he had been chatting to online'.
The filmed man allegedly drove straight from work to Cwmbran railway station in South Wales on Saturday.
But
instead of meeting who he allegedly thought was a schoolgirl, he was
surrounded in his car by three vigilantes who seized his keys and mobile
phone.
They accused him of sending them x-rated messages while posing as a fictitious teenager online.
The
vigilante gang claims the man offered to 'share a bed' with a group
member and made a comment about 'letting our hands wander'.
The
man - who cannot be named for legal reasons - allegedly sent pictures
of himself in the bath and talked about buying condoms during the
two-week sting.
Despite having his own car, the group claims he told the 'girl' to take a 40-mile train ride from Hereford to see him.
The
Morrison's worker was rumbled by a paedophille-hunting gang after
turning up to meet a 'minor' he had been talking to online in his
uniform and name badge
When confronted, he is filmed insisting the meeting 'wasn't for sex' claiming he just wanted to talk.
'H Division' - led by paedophile hunter David Poole, 38 - set up the fake teen alias on dating site Plenty of Fish.
Chat
logs were shown to the man, in which he allegedly offered to buy the
girl ice cream and discussed his favourite colour lingerie.
Father-of-three
David - who launched the group after his gay teenage son was targeted
by online groomers - tells the man he is under citizen's arrest and
says: 'It ain't an April Fool's either, mate. You're f*****.'
The
chain-smoking shop worker covers his mouth when he learns he has been
talking to a decoy and the sting is being broadcast live on Facebook.
David asks: 'How do you feel now?'
The man says: 'Stupid.'
David
says: 'You work at Morrisons don't you? I know, I spoke to your boss
this morning. Not looking good for you, bud, is it? Explain to people
why you think it's appropriate to meet a 14-year-old girl.'
Chat logs
of the suspected pervert's conversations with the 'girl' in which he
allegedly offered to buy the girl ice cream and discussed his favourite
colour lingerie
He mumbles: 'It's not, is it?'
David says: 'Why didn't you as a father say, 'sorry, listen, there's predators on there. Please, please, stop.'
'Why
did you carry the conversation on and then go on to WhatsApp? ...Can
you imagine if your daughter was coming here now to meet someone like
you?'
Another hunter rages: 'You sit
here with a f****** look on your face like, 'what the f***'s going on?'
You know exactly what the f*** you were doing.'
The
shaken man goes quiet as David dials 999, telling the operator: 'He's
being non-aggressive. He looks a bit of a melt, to be honest.'
When
he returns, he says: 'Your world's crumbled, ennit? I can see the
colour's gone out your face, mate. You're just drained. Did you honestly
think a 14-year-old girl would be attracted to a 27-year-old man?'
He asks: 'Who's to blame for all this?'
The man answers: 'Me.'
David
tells him: 'Yeah, and your disgusting perverted mind. You are a drip,
an absolute drip. ...Even turned up in his Morrisons outfit, look. Oh,
bless him.'
Police eventually arrive and take him away in handcuffs.
The controversial vigilante group has vowed to make Hereford a no-go area for paedophiles.
Last
month they carried out a sting on a Dorset man who was arrested after
allegedly driving 150 miles in the hope of having sex with a minor.
Two police officers eventually arrive on the scene and take him away in handcuffs after speaking to him
West
Mercia Police later released a statement urging members of the public
not to take the law into their own hands as it could 'compromise ongoing
investigations'.
Gwent Police confirmed a 27-year-old man has been charged with child grooming and remanded in custody.
A
spokeswoman for the force said: 'At 4.21pm on Saturday we received a
call from a member of the public at Cwmbran Railway Station who had
detained an individual they believed to be involved in grooming
offences.
'A 27-year-old man was
arrested and has now been charged with attempting to meet a girl under
16 following grooming and driving whilst disqualified. He has been
remanded in custody.
'He is due to appear at Newport Magistrates' Court this morning.'
