Saiel Bashar travelled from London to Birmingham to abuse the girl ‘in her mother’s bed’.
However, the computer science student was met by members of Paedo Hunters Not Glory Hunters outside Sutton Coldfield railway station.
They revealed that he had sent her explicit messages and porn for a week before arranging to go to her house to ‘take her virginity’..
When challenged he prayed for forgiveness and wept hysterically as vigilantes read passages from 300 pages of chat logs, while police made their way to the scene.
He allegedly offered to buy his would-be victim a mobile phone and give her lifts from school in return for sexual favours.
After meeting up it was said his plan was to buy condoms and baby wipes then take the girl home and molest her while her ‘mother’ was working a night shift.
Bashar – who claimed to be an international student from Afghanistan – said he had made a ‘mistake’ and denied having any sexual interest in children.
But after his arrest he pleaded guilty to attempting to meet an underage girl for sex following online grooming.
Footage of the confrontation was put on Facebook on Friday night.
It shows the suspect pressing his palms together in prayer, begging the vigilantes: ‘Don’t call the police.’
He bows and scrapes to one of the men, who says: ‘Don’t pray to me.’
A spokeswoman for West Midlands Police confirmed Bashar is being held on remand awaiting sentence next month.
She said: ‘Saiel Bashar, 23, from Stanmore, London, was arrested on August 11 in Sutton Coldfield.
‘He was charged with arranging to meet with a child under 16 with the intent of sexually abusing the child.
‘Bashar pleaded guilty at Birmingham Crown Court on Monday and was remanded in custody. He is due to be sentenced on September 11.’
