Perverted Scots dad sent vile messages about his 'micro' penis to decoy child

A Scots dad sent sick messages about his “micro” penis to a decoy teen before being snared by three separate paedophile hunter groups.

Allan McCormick believed he was chatting online with a 12-year-old girl when he messaged her about his “tiny little thing”.

The twisted 52-year-old sent videos of himself masturbating to two other ‘girls’ he thought were 12 and 13.

Married father-of-two McCormick sent one of them a clip of himself urinating in a toilet.

But all of the ‘youngsters’ were actually adults from groups who trap predators targeting children on the internet.

The groups banded together to trick McCormick into a meeting in Glasgow city centre to expose him during a Facebook livestream.

McCormick appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Friday and pled guilty to three charges.

Fiscal depute Ross Price said an adult from Groom Resisters Scotland set up a fake account on the Waplog communication app. The bio for ‘Maddy’ said: “I’m 12 from Scotland.”

Mr Price said Maddy received a message under the name ‘Allan M’ from the accused which featured a topless profile photo of him.

McCormick wrote to her: “You’re stunning. Out of my league unless you like an older virgin man with a tiny little thing.”

The court heard Maddy told him she was 12 and from Aberdeen.

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.

McCormick 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.”

Mr Price said: “The accused has continued to refer to the size of his penis and how small it is.”

He said McCormick began telling Maddy about masturbation who wrote 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.”

The Edinburgh-based paedophile hunter handed the chat log to cops at the city’s Drylaw police station.

Mr Price said McCormick sent messages to another adult from the Decoy Central group using the name ‘Connie’ on Waplog 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 over WhatsApp of himself masturbating.

The court heard members of the three groups set up McCormick using another decoy plot by pretending a 22-year-old woman wanted to meet him for a date in Glasgow.

They livestreamed the confrontation and McCormick was later arrested.

McCormick 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.

Sheriff Daniel Kelly remanded McCormick ahead of sentencing next month after reports were compiled.

McCormick, of Newlands, Glasgow, was added to the sex offenders register.
