METRO REPORTER – 22nd December, 2009
A paedophile who targeted an 11-year-old on Facebook and was caught when the child’s parents posed as her online, was today beginning a jail sentence.
Thomas Gibbs was snared after the couple logged on as their daughter and discovered he was grooming her for sex.
The 52-year-old was yesterday handed a 16-month prison term by a judge at Oxford Crown Court.
Prosecutors said the family took matters into their own hands when they noticed their daughter was communicating with a stranger online.
Looking over her shoulder as she used her laptop, their suspicions were confirmed and they realised the mystery correspondent was posting “extremely concerning” messages.
