James Wilson, 38, contacted an online account in the name of '13-year-old Isla' which turned out to be an adult decoy created by a paedophile hunter group

James Wilson, 38, contacted an online account in the name of "13-year-old Isla" and began sending repeated requests that she post him indecent naked images of herself.

Wilson also encouraged the "child" to view online pornography and sent her a link to the adults-only Pornhub website during the sordid contact.

But Wilson was snared after it emerged he was contacting an adult decoy from the paedophile hunter group Scotland's Child Protection Team ASA, who had set up the account in a bid to catch online predators.
