A paedophile was caught by undercover police officers after he used social media to send inappropriate messages to a 14-year-old.
Neil Ellis, 56, sent messages and images of a sexual nature to a school boy called ‘Jay’ on Grinder, between November 28 and December 12 2019.
In the messages, Ellis invited the teenager to his house in West Street, Huntingdon, to engage in sexual activity.
He also asked the boy to send photos and gave him a phone number so he could send him inappropriate videos.
The boy, who was in fact an undercover officer, reminded Ellis on a number of occasions that he was just 14.
