Groomer Caught Out by Sting Team After Trying to Meet '13-Year-Old'
Dominic Seymour thought he was chatting up a 13-year-old girl for sex and sharing indecent photos. But it was a sting operation – the ‘girl’ was actually an undercover police officer.
Undercover Sting Nets Guilty Verdict
The police member behind the fake profile gave evidence at Bristol Crown Court, travelling especially for the trial. The judge praised their hard-hitting work that led to Seymour’s conviction back in April.
Harsh Sentence for Groomer
- 16 months in prison
- 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order
- 10 years on the Sex Offenders Register
Seymour’s punishment sends a strong message: predators have nowhere to hide.
