Paul Larmour arranged to meet decoy at Lanyon train station and was arrested by PSNI

An East Belfast man whose home was searched by the PSNI following a ‘paedophile hunters’ sting operation was made the subject of a three-year Probation Order today .

These online chats culminated in Lamour arranging to meet ‘Molly’ at Lanyon train station in Belfast on February 9, 2020 - and as a result of the sting operation, when Larmour arrived at Lanyon he was arrested by the PSNI. He also told Probation that he had been drinking at the time and wanted to chat to girls. He subsequently pleaded guilty to 13 counts of possessing indecent images of children and two counts of possessing an extreme pornographic image on dates between March 31, 2016 and February 10, 2020.

A Crown barrister said it was accepted there has been a delay which he attributed to both Covid and the number of electrical devices that had to be examined. Judge Gilpin said he has considered defence submissions which includes Larmour’s clear criminal record and lack of further offending.
