A MAN who asked to create porn scenes with a 15-year-old girl has pleaded guilty to trying to meet up with her after being caught by paedophile hunters.
Jonathan Haswell had sent graphic messages and photographs to who he believed was a teenage girl – but was sprung by Dark Justice, a two man organisation set up to catch paedophiles.

The 44-year-old had been texting the teen, asking for photographs of her in her underwear before organising to meet with her.
But the man, of Station Lane, Birtley, Gateshead, was instead met by the furious Dark Justice team.
The startled paedophile was confronted by the team after he turned up to a pre-arranged meeting in Newcastle city centre.

The man has since pleaded guilty at Newcastle Crown Court to attempting to incite a child to engage in sexual activity.
He was sentenced to two years imprisonment, suspended for two years, with sex offender registration for ten years.
He now has to abide by a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for life.
The man admits that he regrets sending the messages and photos.
He is then informed that police are on their way – with the pervert admitting his actions were “stupid”.
Smoking a cigarette during the confrontation, he also admits he has porn in his pocket.
Haswell is the 61st person to be caught by Dark Justice.

Dark Justice previously snared a pervert who was trying to drive to an airport.
William Orr, 55, was caught on camera by the vigilante group after he arranged to meet a 15-year-old boy for sex in Newcastle.
The group also secured the arrest of a 42-year-old man who had thought he was meeting up with a 13-year-old girl so he could take her virginity.
Dark Justice has also seen a paedophile jailed for two years after the man was confronted by the vigilantes.
Richard Hewitt had tried to break his phone when he was met by Dark Justice in a car park.
