This is the sickening moment a pensioner has become Britain’s oldest paedophile to be caught trying to meet an underage girl to sexually abuse her.
Meet Ivor Gifford, 92, who was trapped by The Hunted One, a group aiming to catch child groomers by creating fake social network profiles.
They posed as an 11-year-old girl called Jessie and her friend Jodie, 12, to lure him in.
Gifford told police after his arrest: ‘I hope I die before this is out. I know how my family will react.’
A court heard Gifford began talking to what he thought were two girls named Jessie and Jodie, aged 11 and 12. Within just half an hour he began talking about sex and tried to meet Jessie, telling her to ‘wear something sexy’.
Newport Crown Court heard that over several weeks, he sexually groomed her and sent over naked photographs of himself. But unbeknown to Gifford, he was actually speaking to members of The Hunted One.
He was confronted by the group when he arrived to meet the fictional girl at Llanhilleth train station near Abertillery. It was filmed and the court was shown him arriving at the railway station in a taxi when he is called over by the hunters.
One of them can be heard saying to Gifford: ‘You’re 81 years older than this child. We catch a load of guys – you’re the oldest, it’s unbelievable. When we found out your age, we were shocked.’
The video clip ends with police arriving and leading Gifford into their car.
Here’s the shocking video:
