THE FORMER SCHOOL CLEANER WAS SNARED BY POLICE DECOY
AN online pervert who thought that he was chatting to a 13-year-old girl - when really it was an undercover police officer - has been branded a "fairly pathetic fantasist".
David Glover thought that it was "well cool" to talk sexually to teenage girls and he was later found with a "vile" collection of images of girls as young as four, Hull Crown Court heard.
Glover, 65, of Preston Road, east Hull, but recently in custody on remand, admitted attempting to communicate sexually with a child under 16, making indecent images of children, possessing extreme pornographic images and breaching a sexual harm prevention order.
Abigail Rowley, prosecuting, said that undercover police set up an online profile of a decoy 13-year-old girl and Glover began chats with her on September 10 last year.
