"The defendant started by asking for photos of the girl in her bikini before requesting pictures and videos of her naked and of her carrying out sexual acts."
Lee Comley was arrested on July 1 after the Child Online Safety Team live-streamed their confrontation with him prior to police arrival. A crowd of about 100 people formed, chanted, and threw objects, prompting deployment of officers with riot shields and a temporary dispersal order. Comley pleaded guilty to attempting to incite a 14-year-old into sexual activity, having contacted a sting profile on Facebook then WhatsApp and requested bikini, naked and sexual videos. Judge Michael Bowes jailed him for three years, imposed an indefinite sexual harm prevention order, and said Comley showed a lack of insight. Defence stated he lost his home and employment.
