Sheffield Crown Court heard on May 12 how Alun Haynes, aged 41, of Athelstone Road, Doncaster, was trapped by police after he had been communicating with officers pretending to be boys.

Judge Sarah Wright told Haynes: “This was very serious offending involving ostensibly two young boys and the second offending was while you were under investigation.

“You have encouraged what you thought were young boys to engage in sexual activity and therefore the offences are so serious only immediate custody is appropriate.”

Nicola Quinney, prosecuting, said the defendant started communicating with a decoy named Jack in January, 2019, on dating websites and the conversation was sexual and he sent pictures of his private parts and discussed oral sex.

Ms Quinney added Haynes told the decoy, who claimed to be 14-years-old, he would teach him how to perform sexual acts and in February he encouraged the decoy to engage in sexual activity.

Haynes was arrested after police raided his home in March, 2019.
