A paedophile caught out by online vigilantes when on to sexually attack two teenagers just hours after he was let out of jail.
Married father, Neil Skelton, had been remanded in custody before a judge made the decision to release him on bail.
Skelton was arrested in a park in Leyland, Lancashire, on May 1 after going to meet what he thought was a 13-year-old girl.
But when he got there just before 8.20pm his vehicle was "blocked" by members of the Facebook group Catching Online Predators, who called police and detained him until they arrived, reports Hull Live .
Claire Holmes, prosecuting in Hull Crown Court on Friday, said the sting happened after Skelton, 32, sent a Facebook "friend request" to someone he thought was a 13-year-old girl on April 25.
