Sex pest exposes himself over the internet
Parents have been warned to be vigilant of their children?s online chat after a pervert groomed young schoolgirls over the internet before exposing himself online.
The man struck up chatroom conversations with a group of 12-year-old girls from a Southend school by pretending to be a young boy.
He sent messages to their home computers and encouraged them to set up a webcam so they could see each other ? before he exposed himself online.
Police have said there has been a big increase in this type of offence and warned parents to take extra care over internet safety.
One horrified mother, whose daughter had been targeted, said: ?You think because they are in the house they?re safe, but they?re not. They?re open to the world.?
