An online predator who claimed he wanted to meet a nine-year-old girl to play Monopoly has been sent straight to jail after he was snared by paedophile hunters.
Richard Giles, 24, believed he was talking to a youngster called Clare on chat sites but in fact he was sending sexual messages to members of a paedophile hunting vigilante group.
He told police he invited the girl to travel from London to visit him in Devon to play monopoly but chat logs showed he wanted to have sex with her.
