Pound Close, Corby, Northamptonshire, NN18
A Great Oakley paedophile who drove to Milton Keynes thinking he would sexually abuse three children has been branded a dangerous predator.
Allan Robins, 69, was jailed for five years and seven months last month, as first reported by the Northants Telegraph.
He bragged about having sex with a young girl during a week-long online chat, telling a woman what he wanted to do to her children, aged as young as two.
Robins drove 40 miles to the Buckinghamshire town with condoms after arranging to meet them but it was a police sting.
Today (April 12) detective sergeant Helena Congreve, from Northamptonshire Police's POLIT Team, said: I welcome the sentence handed out to Allan Robins as he has shown himself to be a dangerous predator who was willing to meet a child as young as two in order to sexually abuse them.
I hope this case shows the proactivity with which we treat child sex offences that we will not wait for cases to come to us but that we will use various tactics to catch people like Allan Robins and bring them to justice.
Northampton Crown Court heard Robins, formerly of Pound Close, was using online chat room Chatiw when he began speaking to Lucy on December 13 last year.
He said he liked young girls and was having sex with one. Lucy told him about her three children a two-year-old girl, a seven-year-old boy and an autistic nine-year-old girl. None of the children were real.
Prosecuting, Micaila Williams said: It's plain Robins is interested in the nine-year-old girl, asking if she has had sex yet."
The paedophile suggested a meeting and asked for Lucys phone number before calling her.
He asked her when she was next in Milton Keynes and offered to drive over to meet them on December 20.
The court heard that, when asked what he wanted to do, he described a lewd act with the children aged two and seven.
Ms Williams added: "[He said he] would like to have full sex with the nine-year-old and offered to bring condoms."
He drove to a pre-arranged location in Milton Keynes and texted Lucy to say he was there and had decamped from his motorhome.
Police, who had been running the sting under the code name Operation Jenson, then swooped in and arrested him.
The court heard he made comments suggesting he had been set up and had been a 'bloody idiot'.
When police searched his home they a Scout scarf, baby rattle, sex toys and viagra in a bedroom cabinet.
When interviewed he admitted he had spoken to Lucy online but claimed he was trying to uncover the actions of a paedophile.
Ms Williams said: "He said he had been horrified by what he had heard online and went to the location to find the people and report them to the police."
The paedophile denied he had a sexual interest in children but later admitted three charges of arranging or facilitating a child sex offence.
Robins will serve half of his sentence behind bars before being released on licence.
He will be on the register for sex offenders and subject to a sexual harm prevention order for life.

Not known.
A convicted rapist armed himself with an axe and went seeking revenge after being attacked in a Bellshill street.
Richard Wotherspoon was seen "banging furiously" on a door with the weapon.
His lawyer claimed he has been targeted numerous times since being jailed 16 years ago for a sex attack.
Wotherspoon, 32, described as a prisoner, admitted behaving in a threatening or abusive manner in Dean Street on July 6.
Hamilton Sheriff Court heard this week that five people attacked him days after he was released from prison after serving a sentence for domestic abuse.
Neil Thomson, prosecuting, said: "Police officers found Wotherspoon in Dean Street with a head injury and suspected hed been assaulted, but he did not provide them with any information.
"He was taken to hospital but wouldn't stay there despite being advised he needed further treatment.
"Later that evening Wotherspoon and another man were seen in the same street with an axe and a hammer.
"A witness challenged Wotherspoon who was banging furiously on the door of a flat with the axe. He told the witness 'I have no issue with you. I'm going to kill him'.
"There was no answer at the door after repeated knocking and shouting, and the accused and the other person then left."
Defence agent Diarmid Bruce said Wotherspoon suffered a broken finger and needed stitches in his mouth after being hit with a shovel during the attack earlier that evening.
The lawyer told Sheriff Liam Murphy: "His High Court conviction from 2006 still causes him difficulty in the local area.
"He is taunted and targeted because of it and has been assaulted numerous times.
"Individuals use it as an excuse to cause him difficulties."
The sheriff jailed Wotherspoon for 18 months, backdated to July.

Filmed a naked woman while she slept.
North Road, Prenton, Wirral, Merseyside, CH42
A 26-year-old man who took a video of a naked woman while she slept has been jailed.
A judge told Daniel Tiernan, “This was a betrayal by you.”
The unsuspecting woman knew nothing about what he had done until she came across his mobile phone by chance and decided “to have bit of a nose”.
She found a 25-second video on it showing her saying asleep in her own bed.
Peter Killen, prosecuting, told the court the video showed the woman was lying with her back to the camera and the duvet she was under was pulled up exposing her naked body.
She reported the matter to the police and said she had been asleep and had not consented to being filmed.
In an impact statement the woman described herself as “mortified and betrayed. I feel messed up in my head.”
She is on medication for depression and anxiety and had been worried that the footage might have been posted online. She said she felt very traumatised, said Mr Killen.
Tiernan, of North Road, Tranmere, pleaded guilty to sexual assault.
Jailing him for 16 months Judge David Aubrey, QC, said that there was no suggestion he had distributed the footage but there had been the possibility that he might.
He said that the victim’s fears that he might have distributed it or if she had not found it whether he might have gone on to do so underlined the seriousness of the offence.
“She was asleep in her own bed and in the judgement of the court was particularly vulnerable.”
Judge Aubrey said, “That was a betrayal of trust and in the judgement of the court it was an extreme betrayal.
“You had violated her, you had invaded her privacy in the most serious of ways. It is clearly understandable that when she observed what you had recorded she felt deeply betrayed and mortified.”
Tiernan initially denied the offence and only pleaded guilty on the first day of the trial.
Judge Aubrey ordered him to sign on the Sex Offenders Register for ten years and imposed a restraining order to last the same length of time.
David Birrell, defending, said that Tiernan is in work though his employers were unaware of the court proceedings.
“At the time he was abusing controlled drugs on an almost daily basis but he has now addressed that drug problem.
“He voluntarily sectioned himself at Clatterbridge Hospital and was referred to Wirral Ways to Recovery and through their assistance has managed to rid himself of drug habit to his credit.”
Mr Birrell added that Tiernan is a “troubled young man with mental health and emotional issues and he attempted suicide last year.”

Putting a little girl through years of sexual abuse.
Erskine, Renfrewshire, PA8
A pervert has been brought to justice after putting a little girl through years of sexual abuse.
David Craig's horrific behaviour was uncovered when she opened up about her her ordeal at the creep's hands.
The 29-year-old repeatedly targeted his young victim from the age of eight as she watched cartoons, the Paisley Daily Express reports.
Paisley Sheriff Court heard that police were called a decade later and Craig was finally snared.
Procurator fiscal depute David McDonald explained: "At this time, she was in the living room watching cartoons.
"David Craig came in and sat beside her, she felt awkward and so picked up her covers and went and lay down at the opposite end of the couch and pretended to go to sleep."
Undeterred the pervert manoeuvred himself under the girl's covers and carried out a vile sex act at a property in Erskine.
Court heard the victim recalled similar incidents happening for a number of years.
Craig would also climb into the girl's bed and masturbate. And on multiple occasions over the years, Craig attempted to rape the youngster.
The court heard Craig was "fat" and during one sickening incident he lay on top of her so she could not move, then molested her.
Years later, she challenged Craig about the abuse.
Mr McDonald explained: "While on a night out she began receiving messages from the accused and he asked, 'ask anything if u wanna xx'
"He repeated this a number of times, attaching kissing emojis.
"She replied, 'See when we were younger why did you do all that stuff? Just be honest?'
"Craig replied, 'I love u x'
"She again replied, 'Tell me, so why did you do it?'
"And he responded, I love you. Can't believe am saying this but I get jealous when I see with new bfs x.'
"The victim revealed what was happening to someone and the police were contacted."
Defence agent Mr Barr told the court that at the time of the offences Craig "saw her as someone he could have a relationship with" but explained he suffers mentally.
Sheriff Eoin McGinty said: "These are serious offences over a period of time."
Sentence was deferred for the preparation of a criminal justice social work report and a restriction of liberty order assessment.
Craig's bail was continued and he will return to court for sentencing next month. He was placed on the Sex Offenders Register meantime.

Making and distributing indecent images of children.
Flintshire, Clwyd
A paedophile caught in a sting by undercover police was jailed for five-and-a-half years today. Judge Rhys Rowlands told John Reynolds, 40, formerly of Flintshire: "This was repeated depraved behaviour on your part which has to attract an immediate custodial sentence."
He had been convicted after a trial of making, taking and distributing sexual images of children. Judge Rowlands at Mold crown court ordered Reynolds, who appeared on a video link from Berwyn jail at Wrexham, to register as a sex offender indefinitely and a sexual harm prevention order was made.
The judge said the jury had rejected his risible explanation for his behaviour. Defence barrister Simon Mills said Reynolds was of previous good character. Theres no evidence his distribution reached the wider paedophile community.
"Links to the images went to undercover police operatives, counsel added.
Reynolds had been hard-working, well-qualified and an expert in his particular industry.
Prosecutor Andrew Green said in the summer of 2019 police had posed online as paedophiles and had been in touch with Reynolds. When police went to his home he was away working in Europe.
Mr Green said Reynolds was asked to bring an iPhone to a police station on his return to Britain but he claimed it had been lost.
