A paedophile was spared jail after asking arranging to meet a 13-year-old girl, who turned out to be an internet vigilante.

David Jackson, 43, believed he was messaging a schoolgirl and asked what size her breasts were.

He sent her explicit messages and sent a selfie, asking for pictures in return.

The self-employed painter and decorator arranged to meet the girl on July 13 in Bath, Somerset, but when he turned up the paedophile was confronted by vigilante Danny Catcher, who performed a citizen’s arrest and dialling 999.
