Man caught in livestreamed paedophile sting jailed – Simon Foster prosecuted for the Crown
Lee Comley, 39, of Leigh Park in Havant, was jailed at Portsmouth Crown Court on 31st October 2025 for three years following his guilty plea to a charge of attempting to incite a 14-year-old child into sexual activity.
Comley’s arrest back in July was livestreamed on Facebook after a group calling itself the Child Online Safety Team aired their confrontation with him before police arrived. Police officers had to be deployed with riot shields after a crowd of about 100 people formed and began chanting and throwing objects. Hampshire Police then imposed a temporary dispersal order to enable officers to use extra powers to break up the gathering.
