A Wembley paedophile was caught trying to engage children in sex acts when he sent explicit messages to adults posing as youngsters.
Suresh Varsani, of Harrow Road, pleaded guilty to six sex offence charges after the adults handed their evidence to Brent police, Scotland Yard said.
The 27-year-old was jailed for three years and four months on November 27 at Harrow Crown Court,
The court heard Varsani was arrested on September 9 after members of the public who had been posing online as a 12-year-old girl, named “Mollie BannerW and an older girl named “Amber Jones”, were sent explicit images and text messages by him.
Varsani admitted that between August 21 and September 7 he attempted to cause a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity, engage in sexual communication and cause a child under 13 to watch a sex act.
He admitted the same three offences in respect of a child aged 13 or over from August 19-31.
