Communicating indecently with children.

Paedophile hunters posed as delivery drivers to catch offender.

David Penney, 56, was tricked into believing he was communicating with girls as young as 13. In reality, he was speaking with adult volunteers from online groups dedicated to exposing offenders.

The volunteers, posing as delivery drivers, lured Penney to his front door where he was confronted and subsequently arrested.

Penney's actions, while initially directed at what he believed to be children, were in fact directed towards adults. This highlights the dangers of online communication and the importance of verifying the identities of those we interact with online.

The case serves as a reminder that individuals engaging in this type of behavior can be held accountable for their actions, even if they believe they are interacting with minors.

This incident underscores the work of online groups dedicated to protecting children from exploitation and the importance of vigilance in the digital age.
