Web pervert admits grooming girl
A 41-year-old man became “obsessed” with a Norwich schoolgirl after grooming her for months in an internet chat room, a court heard yesterday.
James Palmer posed as a “fit, virile and handsome” 17-year-old boy on the internet and tricked the 13-year-old into meeting him through emails and text messages.
When they finally met, he pretended he was an older friend of the boy, and became “suicidal” when she spurned him after he revealed his identity.
He used his own name and address but took on an “alter ego” of a model-like teenage boy and posted photos on the internet of his virtual self pictured in various locations.
This is a perfect grooming example. How gullible are your kids?
