A pervert who arranged to meet a minor for sex was filmed begging for mercy when he was caught by a group of paedophile hunters. The accused, Praju Prasad, 24, was confronted by group, Guardians of the North at the North Shields Metro Station after he messaged an 'underage' girl who was in fact, a member of the group.
Prasad has been handed a nine-month suspended sentence, a £140 fine and ordered to sign the sex offenders register for five years. Messages exchanged between him and the 'girl' shows him asking to “kiss” and “fulfil” the child. He also suggested to “take a room” and “have some fun”. It was also revealed that Prasad had originally even attempted to book a hotel for the two, but was told that nowhere would accommodate a man and a child.
In the clip, that has been doing the rounds in the internet, when confronted by the group, he can be seen getting down on his knees and begging to be left along. One of the group members said, “This highlights the important work that we do. If this man hadn't been caught by us then he could well have gone on to abuse an actual child. We are not happy with the sentence. We believe that judges need to be tougher as this kind of offending needs to be stamped out before more serious crimes are committed.”
