James Stephen Aberdeen Paedophile
James Stephen Aberdeen Paedophile

The Aberdeen Paedophile, James Stephen, 27, was incarcerated in 2021 for transmitting abhorrent sexual messages via Snapchat to a 12-year-old girl.

A sheriff mandated the registered sex offender to inform the police on his computer usage, to which he stated that a new laptop was intended for an online culinary course.

However, less than 24 hours after acquiring the new laptop, James Stephen commenced communicating with individuals he presumed were adolescent girls, requesting them to send images of themselves in school uniforms.

Fortunately, the individuals with whom James Stephen was conversing were decoys established by a paedophile detection organisation.

The group alerted law enforcement, who then visited James Stephen’s residence.

Officers discovered James Stephen’s laptop hooked into Facebook and engaged in chat with a 14-year-old female decoy.
