CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER'S VILE REQUEST TO UNDERCOVER POLICE OFFICER
Richard Smith, a man convicted of a sex offence, attempted to pay an undercover officer posing as the relative of an underage girl for sexual acts.
Smith, aged 35, was unaware that he was communicating with an officer and not the actual child's relative.
During online conversations, he agreed to pay £250 to abuse the purported 11-year-old girl, but later reconsidered and withdrew his offer.
Smith, who resides on Nixon Phillips Drive in Hindley Green, Wigan, admitted to charges of arranging or facilitating the commission of a child sex offence.
Additionally, he pleaded guilty to breaching notification requirements by not disclosing his social media aliases.
The court sentenced him to six years in prison, imposed a sexual harm prevention order, and mandated that he register as a sex offender for life.
