Verified case summary
Nine years in prison, plus another two on extended licence.
That’s the sentence Stuart Ross received at Basildon Crown Court.
Ross is fifty and from Basildon.
He spent eleven days messaging someone he believed was a mother, trying to arrange serious offences against her two young children.
The children weren’t real.
The person he was speaking to was an undercover police officer.
Searches linked to the planned journey and abusive material were later found on his devices.
Ross denied the main charge, but a jury convicted him after a three-day trial.
