A Glasgow dad was snared by paedophile hunters after boasting about his "micro" penis to a girl he thought was just 12-years-old.
Allan McCormick sent vile videos of himself committing a sex act to two others he believed were 12 and 13 before being lured to a meeting in the city centre under the pretence of meeting a 22-year-old for a date.
The married father with two adult children was jailed for two years yesterday after admitting three charges, including sending sexually explicit messages and video to three girls, the Daily Record reports.

The 52-year-old claimed he was a virgin and shared disgusting footage of himself urinating in a toilet then asked one of the youngsters to send him inappropriate images.
McCormick's defence solicitor Sinead Corrigan told the Edinburgh Sheriff Court this was her client's first time in custody and that it had been a "very sharp lesson to the dangers of communicating online".
She added: "His wife and adult children were unaware he was going to be attending court or the nature of the offending prior to him appearing before you last month.
"He says they are willing to give him one more chance. They haven't visited him within the prison but there has been telephone contact which he describes as being very difficult conversations with feelings of shame and embarrassment."
Sheriff Daniel Kelly told McCormick that his offending was so serious, he saw no alternative but to jail him for two years and eight months. He will remain on the sex offenders register for an indefinite period and the Scottish Ministers will be notified that he is deemed unsuitable to work with children.
The court was previously told that an adult from Groom Resisters Scotland set up a fake account on a communication app and pretended to be a 12-year-old girl named Maddy. The profile then received a number of messages from another account under the name 'Allan M', which featured a topless picture of McCormick.
Fiscal depute Ross Price told the court that the creep wrote: "You're stunning. Out of my league unless you like an older virgin man with a tiny little thing."
McCormick replied: "I'm older and a virgin. I only have a little d**k." After Maddy told him she didn't know what that was, he said: "A penis." McCormick then asked for her email address so he could send photos and "you can laugh at me and my tiny micro little thing".
The court heard McCormick asked the fake youngster for explicit photos and a video of her naked. He later wrote: "I woke up this morning and went to the toilet and my penis had shrunk to under one-and-a-half inches. Still the same today."
The court heard that McCormick began telling Maddy about masturbation, with her writing back: "I don't know if I'm allowed to do that since I'm only 12."
Mr Price said McCormick offered "tips" to the fake girl on female masturbation and later asked if she had done it yet. Maddy replied: "I haven't. It's rude. I'm only 12 remember."
Mr Price said McCormick sent messages to another adult from the Decoy Central group using the name 'Connie' and pretending to be 13. He added: "The accused sent her a number of pictures to (Connie) of his flaccid and erect penis."
The court also heard McCormick sent videos of himself "urinating into a toilet bowl" and masturbating. McCormick sent a third adult, this time from Justice for the Innocent and pretending to be a girl called 'Chelsea' aged 12, a perverted video of himself masturbating.
The predator last month pled guilty to sending sexually explicit messages to Maddy between August 1 and September 13, 2018, and sending sexually explicit video to 'Connie' between July 25 and September 3, 2018 and to 'Chelsea' between September 6 and 13, 2018.
