Scots paedo snared after wife recognised penis in vile messages chased from home by protestors

A Scots paedophile snared after his eagle-eyed wife recognised his penis in vile online chats with ‘children’ has been chased from his home by protestors.

James Kemp was led away from the property by police officers in the Touch area of Dunfermline, Fife, on Tuesday night after furious residents discovered he was living there.

A large crowd gathered outside the front and back entrance to the block of flats on Law Road as they waited for the pervert to emerge. They repeatedly shouted “paedo” and “beasty b******” as a hooded Kemp walked away with the police guard.

The 45-year-old, who also uses the surname Dunn, was jailed for 18 months after he admitted attempting to send sexual communications to underage girls in January 2018.

The ‘girls’ he was messaging were actually members of a paedophile hunter group who gathered evidence against him before turning up at the home he shared with his ex wife.

We previously told how former wife Hayley heard a commotion at the front door and was horrified to discover her ex-military hubby had been attempting to groom children.

She said: “Straight away, I wanted to see the proof and I told them to come in. That was it, my world just went ‘bang’.

“They showed me it and I said it was one million percent him. There were pictures of him with his hand down his joggers, that I bought for him, and he pulled them down.

“You could see his wristband and his watch. I identified everything, even his bits. I don’t know how many police cars and vans there were but the street was packed. He got carted off in handcuffs and I didn’t see him again until the day he got sentenced in December.”

Kemp, who was previously chased from another address in Cowdenbeath, remains on the sex offenders’ register.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We were called around 6.45pm on Tuesday, 15 November, to a report of a crowd gathering outside a property in Law Road, Dunfermline.

“Officers attended and the crowd dispersed. No arrests were made.”
