An elderly man was stung by police after the 12-year-old girl he thought he was chatting to online turned out to be an undercover officer.
Days after his last chat with the girl he knew as ‘Ella’, Russell Bergman, who is from Watford, answered a knock at his door to find police on the doorstep.
Prosecutor Adam Squibbs said Bergman chatted online with ‘Ella’ for just over a month between May 8 and June 15 last year.The prosecutor added: “He spoke of his desire to touch Ella and rub himself against her. He encouraged her to masturbate on three occasions.”On June 30 last year, after it transpired Ella was actually an undercover police officer, Bergman was arrested and two mobile phones were seized. Following his sentencing, the phones will now be destroyed.
Defending Bergman in court, Matthew Hardyman said his client was now ashamed and struggling to “come to terms” with what he’d done.Read more:Judge Foster told Bergman his behaviour had been “really quite disgusting” and said he was “lucky” not to be leaving via a prison van after being handed a two-year suspended jail sentence.
