Ellesmere man caught having sex chat with 'child' by undercover police officer
A man sent pictures of his private parts to what he thought was a 12-year-old girl, but was rumbled by an undercover police officer.
Callum Relf, aged 28, thought he was chatting to a girl called Emily when he made the "entirely inappropriate" contact.
But it was actually a covert officer he was conversing with for 11 days in January this year.
Shrewsbury Crown Court was told that Relf sent a friend request to the fake "Emily" profile. He was told she was aged 12 early in the conversation.
But he continued messaging, sending lewd photographs and asking "Emily" if she would take her clothes off.
