NEMESIS- 45 year-old paedophile who was thinking he was going to have sex with a 14-year-old schoolgirl tricked and sentenced

This is the case of a convicted paedophile who was snared by an internet vigilante group who pretended to be a female after he travelled 300 miles thinking he was about to meet a 14-year-old schoolgirl for sex.

Roger Lee, 45, who already had a previous conviction for sex with a 12-year-old, made the trip from Wiltshire to Newcastle believing he was going to meet the girl on the city's quayside.

But when he arrived he was confronted by members of the group Dark Justice, who caught him on camera and passed the information, including the messages he had sent, to the police. Lee, on seeing that it was a trap had taken to his heels but was too late for him.

Thanks to the internet vigilante group, Lee, of Pewsey in Wiltshire has now been sentenced to two years and four months in jail with an extended three year licence period after appearing at Newcastle Crown Court.
