A pervert who asked a '13-year-old girl' if she was up for a "gang bang" before he was caught by paedophile hunters has been jailed.
Phillip Hobson chatted with ‘Lisa’, a fake profile set up by a member of paedophile hunter group ‘Justice For Kids’, despite being told she was underage.
The 55-year-old asked if she was willing to meet up for a ‘gang bang’, spoke about staying in a bed and breakfast and the girl having sex with up to three men.
He also asked her to send ‘sexy’ photographs of herself in leggings - and told her to bring a friend along.
But he was arrested after members of the group confronted him at his home on the day he arranged to meet Lisa at Stoke train station.
Now Hobson, who was jailed for similar offences in December 2016, has been locked up for 20 months.
He was told by a judge: “Your risk is assessed as high. You are sexually attracted to children.”
Prosecutor Jonathan Dickinson told Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court that a member of the Justice For Kids group set up a profile of a 13-year-old girl online and the defendant initiated contact.
