Perv who lured a ’14-year-old girl’ for sex at Saracens Amateur RFC snared by female paedophile vigilantes
The 33-year-old, who claimed to be 23 in the video, had told the girl to pretend she was just his little sister's friend
A PAEDOPHILE rugby player who arranged to meet a 14-year-old girl for a weekend of sex was caught out by vigilante paedo hunters.
Richard Ganyata thought he had been talking to the teen and had even apparently told her he loved her, but was infact chatting online with Internet Interceptors.
They were the ones to meet him at Saracens Amateur RFC in Southgate, north London - where the pair had arranged to meet - and confronted the 33-year-old.
He claimed to be 22 when speaking with the vigilantes.
The construction worker had told the "girl" to pretend she was his little sister's friend, and planned to have sex with her on the sofa at the rugby club - where he said he was living.
Zimbabwean born Ganyata, who came to the UK three years ago, did not deny he has three Facebook accounts and more than 500 online friends, the majority of whom are young girls and women.
Ganyata, who was dressed in a red football top covered in black stains, was lost for words when he was confronted by the vigilantes.
He was silent as the woman said he told the girl he was going to touch her intimately and massage her with lotions.
