January 2006
A GIRL of 16 posed as a 13-year-old in an internet chat room. She was brave and daring to catch a registered paedophile, which resulted in bringing the pedophile to Gloucester court the 25th of January 2006.
Robert Jeffrey, 37, tried to lure her to meet with him and then she called the police.
Jeffrey admitted sexually grooming a girl on the internet. He had failed to notify his change of address on the sex offenders register, jumped bail and had a forged tax disc in his car.
Gloucester crown court gave him a three year community order making him attend sex offender courses and a 10 year sex offences prevention order.
The girl told the Mirror: "I am proud of what I did."
It was bravely done, but this is not recommended for all children to follow, as paedophiles can be dangerous. If you want to do such contact police BEFORE you meet the pedophile, so you have police assistance and do not act alone.
