Paedo Sting: Portsmouth Man Busted After Messaging ‘14-Year-Old’

Phil Jacobs from Portsmouth has been thrown in custody after falling for a child grooming trap. The 30-something believed he was chatting to a 14-year-old girl. He spent weeks sending explicit messages and arranging a meet-up for sex.

Jailed After Sick Chat

Jacobs even bragged to the decoy, claiming he’d slept with a 14-year-old before. His sickening chat came to an end when officers swooped following a sting operation carried out by Hunting 4 Justice last night.

Justice Served

Hunting 4 Justice helped police nab Jacobs in their ongoing fight against predators targeting kids online. He was arrested on the spot and now sits behind bars awaiting trial.

The case sends a strong message: predators will be caught and locked up. The hunt to protect kids continues.
