A MAN is accused of wanting to strip naked what he thought was a teenage girl and asking other fake underage accounts to spend the night with him.
Anthony Driver, of Himbleton Road in St John's, allegedly messaged multiple underage decoy accounts in a bid to meet them for sexual pleasure of a non-penetrative nature on September 30, 2022.
The 62-year-old will appear in Worcester Crown Court on Thursday, December 5, where he will submit his plea to four charges.
The charges are two inciting a girl aged 13 to 15 to engage in sexual activity and two attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child.

The youngest of the fake accounts was claiming to be an 11-year-old girl who Driver allegedly wanted to kiss, cuddle, shower with and then spend the night touching each other.
Another decoy account pretending to be a 14-year-old girl was allegedly sent messages from Driver.
It is claimed he asked if he could strip her naked and do sexual acts with her while they stayed in a Premier Inn overnight.
Driver has not yet submitted a plea to the charges against him.
All four accusations state he did not reasonably believe them to be 16 or over.
