FROM THE SUN UK - Karl Banzyni, 56, met “Ellie” on social media and arranged to meet her within minutes, Durham Crown Court heard.
In disturbing messages, he told her not to wear a bra when they meet so he could “play with her t**s”.
Banzyni drove from his Durham home to a meeting point on a residential street in Gateshead just after 8pm on June 20 and waited for her in his blue Skoda.
However instead of meeting a 14-year-old girl he was confronted by the vigilante group Guardians of the North, members of which had posed as the girl to entrap Banzyni.
In the video, he can be seen close to tears and begs the paedo hunters: “Will you give me a chance to get away please sir, because I will not do this again.”
But he’s told: “You’ve got no chance, you’ve got no chance in hell.
“Do you realise what child abuse does to children?”
The video then ends, but the court was told that when cops arrived on the scene Banzyni also told officers: “Okay, I’ll hold my hands up.”
