Dundee Man Placed on Sex Offenders Register for Sending Explicit Image to Decoy Account
A Dundee man has been placed on the Sex Offenders Register after admitting to sending a picture of his private parts to a person he believed was only 12 years old.
Charles Tippet, 50, was caught by a decoy account operated online by Shatter The Silence, a vigilante group that targets suspected paedophiles.
Further details about the case and Tippet's sentencing are not available at this time.
This incident highlights the ongoing issue of online child sexual exploitation and the importance of vigilance in protecting children online.
The use of decoy accounts by vigilante groups is a controversial topic, with some arguing that it helps to catch offenders while others believe it is illegal and can lead to miscarriages of justice.
