He then took the girl's Snapchat username from her Instagram bio and used the app to contact her.

The pair spoke to one another from March 26 until April 6 last year, reports.

Despite the girl being clear about her age from the start, Chambers continued the conversation - which quickly developed into sexual correspondence.

During one exchange the girl sent Chambers a picture of her in her school uniform from the year before.

The paedophile responded: "You were sexy at 11-years-old."

Chambers sent the girl pictures of his erect penis, asked her to send him naked photos and urged her to perform sex acts on herself.

In one message he asked the girl to Skype him and "do the same as last time", suggesting the girl had performed a sex act for him on camera.

Chambers admitted inciting a girl under the age of 13 to engage in sexual activity at Carlisle Crown Court on Friday.

He also admitted causing a child under the age of 13 to look at an act of sexual activity.

Chambers, from Whitehaven, told the court he convinced himself the girl was 17 or 18, despite her clearly stating her age from the off.

He also told officers he had no intention of meeting the child - despite police finding 13 separate messages where he asked if they could meet.

The pervert was jailed for three years and four months.
