A paedophile was sentenced to three years and two months in prison at Chester Crown Court on December 22 after being snared by an undercover police officer.
David Parry, 39, of Runcorn, was running a toy stall in a shopping centre.
He believed he was messaging a 12-year-old girl, but he was in contact with a police officer based in the East Midlands.
Parry began to engage with the officer in a sexualised conversation on Kik Messenger over 12 days in October last year.
He has pleaded guilty to charges relating to abuse images and sexual communications with a child under 13, reports Liverpool Echo.
He told "Zoe" he used the online profile name "UKDaddyDom" because he liked to "be dominant when I’m with a girl, I like to play the daddy role".
Parry sent the supposed schoolgirl a sexual picture of himself wearing "Cookie Monster pyjama bottoms", a clip of a man performing a sex act who he later told police was him, and graphic suggestions of sexual activity.
His arrest led to the unearthing of 210 abuse images of children across Categories A to C on his two laptops and mobile phone – and the discovery that in 2012 Parry had shared two images graded at Category A – the most serious band of abuse imagery.
The victims were girls aged between five and 13 years.

A court register from Parry’s appearance at North Cheshire Magistrates’ Court on November 23 said he was granted unconditional bail with a requirement to register with Runcorn Police Station.
Since sentencing took place, the ECHO has learned Parry had already established a "pop-up" stall at The Box – a type of start-up micro-business incubator for small independent traders unconnected to each other – at Runcorn Shopping City.
Operating as "Halton Hobbies" and "Adaptive Momentum Ltd", which is registered with the government’s official Companies House website, the stall launched its Facebook page in September, and until December 21 the page was used to promote toy products and a prize draw.
No evidence has been presented to suggest any offending is linked to this.

The last social media post on the Adaptive Momentum Ltd page on Facebook on Monday said he was going to be shut: "On TUESDAY 21ST we're closed for the day, sorry guys few appointments to deal with but back to it Wednesday."
He appeared in court on December 21 and the account has been inactive since.
Following Parry's sentencing Dave Pearman, Runcorn Shopping City manager, told the ECHO Parry's licence had been "terminated".
Parry pleaded guilty on November 23 at North Cheshire Magistrates’ Court to three counts of making indecent images of a child, causing a child under 13 to watch sexual activity, possessing 210 indecent images of a child, possessing a prohibited image of a child, distributing an indecent image, and attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child.
