Vinrod Ramachandran, 41, an Ipswich radiographer, had been communicating sexually online with whom he believed was a school girl.

She was an adult decoy and a group of men were waiting for him when he arrived outside the Open Academy in Norwich with two chocolate bars hoping to meet her.

The men held him there until police arrived and arrested him.

Ramachandran appeared in Norwich Crown Court to be sentenced after he admitted to several sexual offences. He was jailed for 24 months.

Richard Paterson, prosecuting, said Ramachandran sent her photos and made video calls to her "showing his face and that he was wearing his NHS work uniform".
