A pervert claimed he was a lawyer when confronted by a vigilante group.
Craig Bradley was caught on video as he arrived for a meeting with a 14-year-old girl.
He admitted at Glasgow Sheriff Court to sending sexual communication and arranging to meet a girl.
Bradley, of the city's Royston, was snared by the vigilante group Wolfpack Hunters at Buchanan Bus Station last March.

The capture - live streamed on Facebook - showed Bradley carrying swimming trunks in a Sainsbury’s bag.
When asked why he was there, Bradley responded “Phone my mates, I’m not a paedo.”
Using the name ‘Craig35’ Bradley was using the social messaging platform Scout to communicate with a 14-year-old decoy called Kenzie.
Prosecutor Mark Allan said: “The decoy said ‘I’m Kenzie, 14 from Clydebank and I’m not feeling well.’
“Mr Bradley responded ‘That’s a shame, you look so cute.”
Bradley arranged to take the decoy to a hotel in Glasgow City Centre.
His capture video also revealed that he promised the decoy vodka and coke and that it was their ‘wee secret’.
He set up a meeting at Buchanan Bus Station on March 4 where he was confronted by the vigilante group.

Bradley told them: “The last time she told me she was 14 and I was going to meet her and send her home so that she was safe.”
In the video, Bradley claimed he was a solicitor before changing his mind and said he worked in an office doing admin.
Sheriff Alayne Swanson deferred sentence until next month for background reports.
Bradley was bailed in the meantime.
