He thought he was talking to young girls - but was actually speaking to a group of 'paeodphile hunters'
McMurdo, who served as a special constable for more than 20 years and was known for his voluntary work for a homeless charity, began contacting the profiles of several ‘girls’ through a messenger app in 2020.
He then said he wanted to meet her in Leeds, and go to a hotel room for sex where he would take videos and photos and sell them “to make money”. He also wanted one of the other ‘girls’ he had contacted to join them, along with another man. Mitigating, Gillian Batts said there was no evidence that he had even looked into booking a hotel room. She said he suffered from depression and was also physically unwell.
