'Lincolnshire Police arrested 40-year-old Katie Birtles in January after being told she was planning to meet what she thought was a 14-year-old girl at Grantham railway station.
Officers found sexually explicit messages on her phone sent to girls under 16.
She had offered to buy them gifts such as wine and chocolates and was making plans to meet her victims for sex.
Birtles, of Wroxall Drive in Grantham, was already the subject of a 10-year sexual harm prevention order (SHPO) having been convicted of making indecent images of children in 2017.
She was convicted of engaging in sexual communication with a child, arranging the commission of a sexual offence and breaching the SHPO.
Birtles was jailed for four years and eight month'
This crime will be recorded as having been committed by a woman, as far as I can tell?
Shame on the police, and shame on ITV.
