An NSPCC Wales spokesman said: “Although the child Dennis was arranging to meet was not real, the danger he poses to young children clearly is.
“If he had been able to fulfil his twisted plans his abuse would have had a devastating effect on his victim.
“Police and crime agencies should be commended for working together to ensure the perpetrators of such abuse are caught before they can carry out their sickening crimes.
“It is important that Dennis receives treatment as part of his sentence so that he no longer poses a threat to children when released.”
Anyone with concerns about children, or adults who pose a threat to them, can contact the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000 or email help@nspcc.org.uk
