SHEFFIELD PAEDOPHILE FANTASISED ABOUT 'CARESSING' 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL ON SKEGNESS BEACH
A convicted paedophile who said he wanted to “caress” a 12-year-old girl on Skegness beach and told an undercover police officer her messages made his privates “tingle” has avoided being jailed again.Jeffrey Redman-Armstrong had been browsing online chatrooms in February 2020 when he came across a message in a “kids’ chat” from a decoy named Charley, Sheffield Crown Court heard.
The 51-year-old, under the username “Dingle,” replied that he was from Sheffield and went on to tell her she seemed “awesome,” prosecutor Nicola Quinney said.
Redman-Armstrong, unknowingly exchanging messages with an undercover police officer, also suggested he and the bogus 12-year-old meet up.
They exchanged Skype, Kik, and email addresses and chatted for around two months, during which the decoy received messages asking for indecent photographs and crude messages about sex acts.
He added that he might be able to visit Skegness where the girl claimed she lived after his holiday was canceled due to COVID-19.
He said that his genitals “tingled” when he read her messages and that she was beautiful after receiving a picture of her in her pyjamas.
On April 2, Redman-Armstrong sent a message saying: “I hoped by now a naughty little girl like you might have wanted to swap some other kinds of photos.” He then suggested they go to a beach so that he could caress her, according to the court.
Redman-Armstrong, from Victoria Road, Beighton, had previously been jailed in 2005 for three counts of sexual activity with a child, sentenced to 30 months in prison.
He was jailed again after breaching a sexual prevention order two years later and for possessing an indecent image of a child.
On this occasion, he pleaded guilty to one count of attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child and received a 12-month prison sentence, suspended for two years.
Additionally, he was required to complete 55 days of rehabilitation activity and was placed under a sexual harm prevention order for five years.
