A 29-year-old club cricketer, David Hymers, was arrested for sending explicit messages to underage schoolgirls. Hymers was sentenced to three years community order with sex offender program on Sunday for his online antics. The cricketer was confronted by paedophile hunters in front of his teammates before he was arrested by two policemen from the ground. Hymers was picked from Tynemouth Cricket Club ground during his training session, reports The Mirror.

Prior to the arrival of the law officers, Hymers was asked about his online chat by the members of the undercover organisation Guardians of the North. Hymers’ fellow cricketers looked stunned when the head of the organizer told them that he needed to speak to him about his online conversation.

“The police are on their way,” he was later informed by the group as per a report published in the Mirror. He was later taken off the ground by two police officers.

The disgraced sportsperson later accepted the two charges of getting involved in a sex chat with a child after he was misled to believe that he was chatting with a 13 and 14-year-old teenage girl.

The report further says that the fake social media accounts of teenage girls were created by the Guardians of the North to expose online predators.

Prosecutor Andrew Espley also informed the New Castle United court that the cricketer has initiated every interaction with lines like “Hey, that’s a nice top, did you get it on sale because it’s 100 percent off at my place.”

“He said he would extend the offer to their pants,” Espley further said,

Hymers was challenged by the group last August after they found out that he played cricket for a local team, the prosecutor informed the court.

“They turned up, they spoke to him, they called the police and Mr Hymers was arrested,” Espley said.

Hymers, who used the fake name of ‘Hugh,’ to continue the illegal conversation was also made aware that the girls were underage in March and August last year. However, he continued the sex chat.

After the hearing, Recorder Ben Nolan QC sentenced Hymers to a community order for three years with sex offender program requirements. The judge in his verdict also announced that the paedophile hunter groups are “perfectly lawful.”

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
