Andre Medeiros, 39, regularly visited London for work, but will not be returning home soon after receiving three years imprisonment for sexual communication with a child and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
On May 28, last year used the name 'CHILL_VIBES' and initiated conversation with an online predator hunter group's decoy.
Posing on a social media platform as a 14 year-old girl, the group communicated with Medeiros.
He responded by stating that he was a 16 year-old boy, named 'Alex'.
Messages increased in a sexually explicit nature, with Medeiros sending links to videos on a porn site and asking the 'girl' to take a picture of herself in the bath.
The group forwarded the messages to police and it was discovered Medeiros was sending the communications from a hotel in the City and he was arrested on August 13.
Detective Constable Natalie Schofield, City of London Police, said: “Medeiros has a clear sexual interest in young girls and the custodial sentence handed down to him reflects the danger that he poses.
“In this instance, Medeiros was speaking to a decoy but he did not know that and it was clear what his intentions were from his depraved sexual messages."
