Martin Latimer from Hove appeared on Channel 4 programme Undercover Police: Hunting Paedophiles on Monday. He travelled to Essex to meet what he thought would be a 13-year-old girl called “Keira” who he had been grooming online. It turned out to be an undercover sting to catch the sick pervert. But viewers were left shocked that after admitting facilitating and arranging a child sex offence, causing a child to watch a sexual act and engaging a child in sexual chat, he was sentenced to just three years in prison at Basildon Crown Court in May 2019. Despite confessing to having Easter eggs, popcorn, a vibrator and butt plug on him, he insisted that he had just planned to “watch TV” with Keira.
