Edward Salt, a paedophile with a fetish, who orchestrated a meeting with an underage girl, has been apprehended by paedophile hunters and incarcerated.
Edward Salt, a previously convicted sex offender, believed he was conversing with three girls, each aged 13 or younger, on social networking platforms.
Edward Salt was deceived by Dark Justice and Guardians of the North, organisations that masquerade as minors online to identify adults seeking illicit interactions with potential victims.
Throughout the discussions, the 27-year-old addressed fetishes, including allusions to urine and excrement, and transmitted an image of his exposed genitalia.
Edward Salt, of Dunholme Road, Elswick, Newcastle, admitted three offences of attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child and one of attempting to meet a child after grooming.
