Pepper sent highly sexualised messages with the clear intent of wanting to engage the girls into sexual activity However, in both instances, the girls were actually decoys that were operated by adults members of paedophile hunting teams.  Paedophile hunters ‘Fleetwood Enforcers’ confronted Pepper at his home address in April 2021 about his online activity, before police arrived to arrest the pervert. He was later ‘released under investigation’ In December 2021, Pepper received another knock at his door after he went back online to groom more young girls online. The team again questioned him before police arrived to arrest the pervert for a second time.  The judge sentenced Pepper to four years imprisonment Pepper was handed a lifetime sexual harm prevention order and was told that he must also register as a sex offender for life
