A paedophile who agreed to pay for sex with a 14-year-old girl has been jailed. Andrew Fisher, 58, had been speaking to a woman online to arrange for a girl to give him a massage and have sex with him.
He asked the woman to bring him two 14-year-old girls to choose from, and he agreed to pay £120 for an hour's 'appointment' with one of them. However, the woman he believed he had been speaking to was an undercover police officer.
When Fisher arrived at the car park for the meeting in West Lake Avenue in Hampton, Peterborough, on March 2022, he had a condom in his pocket. He was arrested, and went on to plead guilty to arranging or facilitating the commission of a child sex offence.
On Monday, January 6, Fisher was jailed for two years and six months at Huntingdon Law Courts, and handed a Sexual Harm Prevention Order. In police interview, Fisher said: "I did arrange to meet a child in Peterborough today to have sex; it was a distraction with what is going on in the world and in my life."
Detective Inspector George Neal said: "Fisher clearly poses a serious danger to children and I'm glad he is behind bars. It was very clear from the messages to our undercover officers he knew exactly what he was doing.
"And he got in his car and travelled to carry out a despicable crime. Thankfully, in this case, the child wasn't real, but his vile intentions were there."
