Prosecutor Michael Bunch said it was in May 2017 that Hutchinson made contact with the Dark Justice profile 'Amy' on the Chat Avenue website. The 24-year-old, who held his hands together in what appeared to be a praying pose as he was sentenced, was jailed for more than two years at Newcastle Crown Court. Having been arrested for that, he was released under investigation by the police, only to go on to commit an even more serious offence by contacting an real girl on Snapchat and encouraging her to have sex with him. Hutchinson made contact with an online decoy profile set up by Dark Justice and despite his initial suspicions that it was a trap, he invited 'Amy' to his home. He had already been snared by paedophile hunters trying to meet a child - but that didn't stop Hutchinson contacting a 14-year-old girl and asking her for sex.
