News from the courts A 55-year-old man has admitted sending intimate photos to what he thought was a 12-year-old girl. Andrew John Shimmin, of Viking Road, Douglas, was caught after a ’sting’ by an online paedophile hunter group on Facebook who were posing as the girl. Shimmin told ’her’ she was ’gorgeous’ and said he would like to kiss her after sending three pictures of his penis. He will be sentenced on December 15 but the court heard that he cannot be sent to jail for the offence. Prosecuting advocate Rachael Braidwood told the court that a fake profile for the 12-year-old in the false name of Taylor Dean was set up on Facebook by Elite Solo Decoys, a group who aim to identify people who are sexual predators.
