Man Exposed By Online Activists Jailed For Child Sex Abuse

A 24-year-old Nottingham man has been jailed for eight years after admitting seven counts of sexual activity with a child, the BBC have reported.

It is understood that James Stone, of Upper Parliament Street, was filmed confessing to his crimes by online activists who posed as a schoolgirl during web chats.

However, Nottingham police say that the video confession played no part in the case, adding that they moved on Stone after the victims mother made a complaint about him.
