A SICK child rapist was caught trying to meet a 12-year-old so he could abuse her.

Evil James Green, 35, of Vaughan Street, Halifax, messaged who he thought was a young girl called Olivia on social media app, Kik. “Olivia” however, was actually a police constable using the site to catch predators just like Green, who already had a conviction for raping a child under the age of 13.

Prosecutor Elizabeth Noble told Bradford Crown Court on Tuesday conversation soon turned sexual and moved to Snapchat. She told the court: “It remained sexual from the defendant's point of view. He sent pictures of himself and his penis and videos of him masturbating. He asked for pictures of her. In one of his videos, he could be heard moaning and groaning.”

It was said Green referred to himself as “Daddy” in one of his messages. In another, he asked her to be his girlfriend and said: “We will talk and sometimes do naughty things” and “When we meet, we can kiss and go on dates and do naughty things to each other and have sex.”
