A perverted former nursing assistant collapsed when he was confronted by paedophile hunters for trying to engage in sexual chats with a child, aged 12, on Facebook.John Gibson, 50, befriended who he believed to be a real child online, not realising that it was a fake profile set up by vigilantes.
Gibson, who spent 20 years working in psychiatric hospitals until he was fired for sending explicit images to an adult, engaged in the inappropriate chats last February, as reported by Chronicle Live.Newcastle Crown Court heard during conversations over Facebook Messenger, Gibson and the "girl" spoke about "pets and tattoos".
Despite being repeatedly informed that he was talking to a young child, Gibson started to talk about sex, said that he could be her "first boyfriend", sent a graphic picture and videos and then requested the same in return.Christopher Rose, prosecuting, told the court: "On one occasion he suggested that they get a hotel room in Basingstoke so she could stay with him and he could be her first boyfriend."The court heard the group behind the fake profile, which was based in the south of England, contacted a similar organisation in the North East and Gibson was lured to a date with an adult, where the police were called.Mr Rose said: "The defendant collapsed on the floor, complaining of chest pains and he was taken by ambulance."During that ambulance journey he admitted messaging a 12-year-old girl on Facebook, saying she wanted to come and meet him and he said no."
