Online child predator caught by police posing as teen

21/11/2008 7:45:00 AM.  | Laura Tunstall
A man will face court today charged with grooming a young girl over the internet.

The 40-year-old allegedly thought he was chatting online with a 14-year-old over a period of three months.

It was actually an undercover police officer - it's alleged the man was sexually explicit during several conversations and that he performed sexual acts via a webcam and offered money to meet him and perform sexual favours.

Detectives arranged what he thought was a meeting with the girl at Parramatta - they were there to arrest him.

He's been charged with five counts of using a carriage service to procure a person under the age of 16.

He'll face Fairfield court today.

What an idiot. His fantasy was so overwhelming he couldn't see that the 14 y ear old girl was not what she claimed to be. No way can a police officer act like a 14 year old girl without giving her or himself away. There is so much that happens from generation to generation that an adult would not be able to keep up. Just the current music of a 14 year old girl would be enough to trip up any police officer. I'm sure the man read many of the errors but they never registered on him.
