A serial pedophile Scott Trader, who lives in Port St Lucie, Florida, has been sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to multiple child pornography and sexual abuse charges in September, according to the Miami Herald.  The 32-year-old man’s journey to a lifetime behind bars began May 30,  after being caught sending a nine-year-old who lived 700 miles away sexually explicit text messages.
Trader was jailed for life on Thursday.
His long running wave of child molestation was exposed mid-year when a father in Thomasville, North Carolina, looked at his nine-year-old daughter’s smartphone and found sexual text messages and photographs from Trader on the SayHi application.
The victim’s dad contacted police on at the end of May, who notified Homeland Security. Agents from Homeland Security found messages from Trader to the nine-year-old repeatedly asking for nude images and indulging in sexting with the child.
She first sent him photos of herself fully clothes, and told him her age.
The diligent dad from Thomasville, North Carolina, examining his 9-year-old daughter’s smartphone found the pedophile’s message telling her: ‘Aw, you’re very pretty for your age, You look sexy in those pajamas.’
‘The victim eventually sent at least one photo of her vagina and one photo of her pulling her shirt up, exposing her nipples,’ according to court documents.
Trader also sent the victim a video of himself masturbating and ‘a still image which depicted Trader’s face in his bedroom.’
He also sent her an array of other photographs.
