Pervert caught for second time by online child protection team
A pervert who groomed and arranged to meet a 14 year old child for sex has been jailed after he was snared for a second time in less than a year.
The court was told that Alan John Pocock, 30 of Woolwich believed he had been chatting to a child, but instead was actually in conversation with a decoy from the online child protection team ‘Internet Interceptors’
Throughout the chat, Pocock expressed his desire to engage in sexual activity and was very explicit in what he actually wanted to do with the child.
He was found guilty of grooming and attempting to incite a child to engage in sexual activity
Pocock admitted that he had groomed another child in the past and had been convicted before.
Pocock arrived at Woolwich Crown Court four hours late for his sentencing.
The judge sentenced him to 12 months imprisonment, and told him he must register as a sex offender for a period of seven years
