Man jailed following capture by ‘paedophile hunter’

    A man has been jailed after being caught in a sting by a “paedophile hunter”.

    Bradford Crown Court heard how Matthew Duffield, 29, communicated with what he believed to be a teenage boy on a social media app.

    Duffield sent explicit images to the account and arranged to meet but was put under citizen’s arrest by “lone paedophile hunter” Kyle Whitaker.

    Duffield was jailed for 30 months and made subject to an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
