A man who attempted to have sexual chats with who he thought were young girls but were in fact adult 'decoys' will be sentenced next month.

Nathan Missing, 25, had previously admitted five offences involving sexual communications he had online with profiles he believed belonged to four young girls aged 13 and 14.

They were in fact decoy accounts set up by adults to catch and hunt down online paedophiles.

Missing, of Cadogan Road, Cromer, admitted four counts of attempting sexual communication with a child between December 11 and 13 last year for the purposes of sexual gratification.

He also admitted three counts of attempting to incite a child under 16 to engage in sexual activity.

Missing appeared at Norwich Crown Court on Monday for sentencing but the case was adjourned for a pre-sentence report to be prepared.

He is due to be sentenced on May 24.
