KentOnline

A child sex offender held his head in his hands and cried “my life is over” as he was exposed by paedophile ‘hunters’ in a video live-streamed to thousands online.

Footage of the ‘sting’ was broadcast on Facebook after the Ramsgate man was caught engaging in sexually explicit chats with someone he believed to be a nine-year-old girl.

Also in today’s podcast, an arrest has been made over a huge fire that broke out near Canterbury Cathedral on Monday night.

A teenager has been taken into custody – crews remain on the High Street today and a cordon is still in place.

Tenants at a new build block of flats in Rochester have hit out after being hit with service charge hikes despite botched and non-existent repairs.

Residents say the building is no longer fit for purpose and frequently has a drug user barging into their bin room at night.

Neighbours of a proposed solar farm on Romney Marsh say the scale of the project is “devastating”.

If approved the site will be the size of 840 football pitches leading to fears of the impact it will have on the surrounding areas.

And in sport, you can hear from the Gillingham boss ahead of tonight’s league two local derby.

Mark Bonner is hoping the fans will drive an improved performance away from home at Bromley FC.
