Matthew Mallin, 45, met the online decoy named "Ava" on the Kick chat platform before suggesting they start talking on Whatsapp. Derby Crown Court heard the Ilkeston man later asked the online persona for her "bra size", adding "you gonna show me your t**s?"

Prosecutor Daniel Scothern said Mallin then announced he was going to masturbate.

Mr Scothern added: "He suggested she could watch by participating in a video call." However, the court heard the decoy did not answer the Whatsapp call, saying her "mum had just come home". Following the conversation Mallin was arrested on January 5 and his phone was seized.

Mallin, who had no previous convictions, admitted attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child, attempting to cause a child to look at an image of sexual activity and possession of class C and B drugs.
