:00:10.:00:14.

to have sex with her has bedn jailed for five years.

:00:15.:00:17.

38-year-old Mark McKenna, from Northfleet, was caught

:00:18.:00:19.

by a controversial vigilantd group which hunts for paedophiles.

:00:20.:00:21.

He spent a month grooming the child who didn't really exist.

:00:22.:00:25.

When he went to meet her at Bluewater Shopping Centrd

:00:26.:00:27.

he was confronted by the group who'd been posing as the child.

:00:28.:00:30.

We're not going to hurt you, just chill out.

:00:31.:00:41.

Paedophile Mark McKenna belheved he was about to meet

:00:42.:00:44.

the 11-year-old girl he had been grooming online for sex,

:00:45.:00:47.

instead he was confronted bx a group of paedophile hunters.

:00:48.:00:50.

Do you know what it actuallx does to a child of that age?

:00:51.:00:53.

So you know that and yet you carry on.

:00:54.:00:59.

Following his arrest McKenn` was sentenced to five years

:01:00.:01:01.

in prison, with the judge c`lled in his behaviour abhorrent.

:01:02.:01:04.

The men behind the sting gave this reaction.

:01:05.:01:07.

It is a serious situation and these are people preying on children

:01:08.:01:09.

and we want to see harsher sentences because it must be stopped,

:01:10.:01:13.

The group calling itself The Hunted One had set up a profile

:01:14.:01:17.

of a fictitious 11-year-old girl on Instagram, McKenna

:01:18.:01:21.

then groomed her online, suggesting they meet up for sex

:01:22.:01:26.

"You'll have to be my daughter for the day."

:01:27.:01:31.

He even told her his girlfrhend was in London and said,

:01:32.:01:34.

Just before they were due to meet he sent a picture of an unopened

:01:35.:01:44.

packet of condoms and the words "I have these."

:01:45.:01:46.

Hours later he was under arrest but there was a warning to the over

:01:47.:01:50.

You may have made flaws in gaining evidence in the first place,

:01:51.:01:53.

entrapment and agent provoc`teur, all of those things.

:01:54.:01:55.

Inciting a person to commit an offence is a huge danger.

:01:56.:01:59.

You also don't know if the police are already investigating

:02:00.:02:02.

This particular case we know would not have gone to court

:02:03.:02:12.

and the guy would never havd been caught if it was not for wh`t we do.

:02:13.:02:16.

We don't interfere with polhce at all, that is not our intdntion.

:02:17.:02:19.

Everything we do is basically what we are trying to do ourselves,

:02:20.:02:22.

going out and try to catch paedophiles.

:02:23.:02:23.

The judge told McKenna he stcceeded in destroying his own familx

:02:24.:02:26.

and was placed on the sex offenders register for life.

:02:27.:02:35.

Passing sentence at the judge called the court how McKenna received hate

:02:36.:02:43.

mail and death threats following his conviction and as well as losing his

:02:44.:02:48.

job and his girlfriend he w`s now to lose his liberty.

:02:49.:02:53.

A violent man, who'd been jailed twice before,

:02:54.:02:55.

has been found guilty of murdering two people from Kent and severely

Foster Christian, fatally stabbed Simon Gorecki

:02:59.:03:01.

and Natasha Sadler-Ellis and injured her son Connaugh Harris

:03:02.:03:03.

The court heard how a row over the temperature of a shower led

:03:04.:03:09.

to a bloody scene at shared accommodation in Canterbury.

The frontrunner to become the next president of France has said

Alain Juppe said he wanted to renegotiate the Anglo-Frdnch

:03:20.:03:23.

agreement which allows Brithsh border officials to

The Dover MP Charlie Elphicke has called Mr Juppe's proposal

A number of historic buildings which are considered to be tnder

:03:31.:03:38.

and former Radio One DJ Davd Cash, who has died at the age of 74.

:04:01.:04:03.

For the past 17 years he'd been at BBC Radio Kent which recdntly

:04:04.:04:07.

celebrated his career - spanning half a century.

:04:08.:04:09.

Dave Cash was one of the first DJ's on BBC Radio 1, alongside the likes

We're with you here until two o'clock so hang on.

Kenny Everett with their an`rchic Kenny And Cash Show.

:04:37.:04:42.

Those early days were spent offshore, away from the long arm

:04:43.:04:46.

of the law, which did not allow stations without licences

:04:47.:04:51.

He recalled that time in a BBC interview ten years ago.

:04:52.:04:57.

The studio used to go up and down 20 feet, so you would be

programme, so you'd end up with "Ladies and gentlemen,

The broadcaster Tony Blackbtrn knew him from that time.

:05:07.:05:14.

I always thought the shows were very entertaining

:05:15.:05:16.

He and Kenny particularly did a great programme.

In later years, he could as he could be heard on BBC Radio Kent,

Surrey and Sussex every Sunday playing country favourites.

:05:48.:05:49.

I think most of our listeners probably grew up with Dave Cash

:05:50.:05:53.

in one form or another from listening to various

:05:54.:05:57.

stations over the years, and for the past 17 years whth us

into the studio next door and he was there with this charming

:06:14.:06:16.

wife and his little dog and the impression I got
