Keith Lloyd, 65, was convicted of eight sexual offences after grooming what he believed were young girls on social media.

Keith Lloyd, 65, pleaded guilty to eight sexual offences after grooming what he believed were underage girls. He communicated with three profiles on Facebook, WhatsApp and Telegram that he thought belonged to teenagers, but were actually members of the online paedophile hunter group Justice4Kids.

Norwich Crown Court heard that Lloyd sent naked and indecent images of himself to a profile called 'Leah', telling her: 'I want your 14-year-old body. We can arrange to meet and I'll wear a condom.' Between September and November 2024, he sent her numerous messages requesting explicit material and asking her to film herself having sex in school uniform. He sent links to pornographic videos and wrote: 'I'm in bed watching porn. Can you take your top off?'

Lloyd also exchanged more than 700 messages with another profile he believed was a 13-year-old, using the fake name Larry Lloyd in some communications. He asked to see pictures of her in school uniform so he could 'rip it off you'.

Gavin Burrell, prosecuting, said Lloyd was arrested after being confronted by activists on the doorstep of his Norwich home, with the encounter livestreamed online. Lloyd received a suspended sentence.
