Det Con Kayleigh Banks said: “Online chat platforms and sites are often where disturbing crimes like Lamb’s begin, and it is the work of the Internet Sexual Offences Team to ensure that sex offenders are caught and brought to justice before a child comes to harm.
“Their work is naturally carried out behind the scenes but plays a vital role in keeping dangerous predators like Lamb off the streets of South Yorkshire."

Lamb admitted to the charges at Sheffield Crown Court on August 21 and was today (November 1) sentenced to five years in prison and six our on extended licence.

Detective Constable Kayleigh Banks, of South Yorkshire Police, said: “Online chat platforms and sites are often where disturbing crimes like Lamb’s begin, and it is the work of ISOT to ensure that sex offenders are caught and brought to justice before a child comes to harm.
“Their work is naturally carried out behind the scenes but plays a vital role in keeping dangerous predators like Lamb off the streets of South Yorkshire.
“The likes of Lamb, who prey on vulnerable people, believe that they will not be caught because they operate online. However, this is not the case and our highly skilled ISOT officers are committed to rooting out this depraved form of criminality.
“I am pleased to see that Lamb will have five years behind bars to contemplate his crimes. This result sends a message that predators are not safe hiding behind computer screens, and our dedicated officers will find them.”
