A self-proclaimed “sissy” has been caught in a predator sting after sending graphic sexual messages and pornography to a decoy social media account he believed to belong to a young girl.
Shaun Hawkes, 30, of Kent, England, was arrested at his mother’s home on November 27 following a sting conducted by the Justice for Innocence Project (JIP), an organization of volunteers formed in June 2021.
A JIP team member had set up a decoy social media profile intended to to represent a 13-year-old girl. Hawkes had initiated contact with the profile, and, over the course of two weeks, sent extremely graphic content and messages to the decoy.
Speaking with Reduxx, an anonymous representative from the JIP stated that the exchange took place over Facebook. The representative declined to share logs directly, stating that they were extremely explicit and amongst the worst the group had ever seen.
“[It] was a very sexual chat log, one of the worst we have dealt with,” the representative said, noting that it had included Hawkes “speaking of sexual acts on an animal.”
Hawkes encouraged the child decoy to masturbate and to watch pornographic material, even sending her images and videos of himself dressed in lingerie and performing sexual acts on other men.
He sent a pornographic image of a woman that he claimed was his mother and boasted of performing sexual acts with a horse. He also attempted to arrange a meeting with the child, stating that he would arrive “dressed as Gabby,” referring to his cross-dressing feminine persona.
When confronted and questioned about his behavior, Hawkes claimed to have known all along that he wasn’t speaking with a child, despite the age being made known to him from the first message.
In one message, Hawkes had referred to himself as a “pedo,” a comment that he dismissed during the sting as “banter.”
In a video of the sting live-streamed to the Justice for Innocence Facebook page, one of the team members read out a message sent from Hawkes to the girl in which Hawkes explicitly noted the child’s age, and stated his desire to be sexually submissive to her.
“I’m a submissive sissy, I’ll do as you say. I don’t care if you’re 13,” he told the child.
“Sissy” refers to men who participate in forms of “feminizing” humiliation or consume related pornography. Often, the genre includes males being “transformed” into women or young girls and forced to perform humiliating and degrading acts.
During the sting, one of the JIP members asked Hawkes whether he knew he had done something wrong.
“You knew she was 13, and you went along with it because of her age. And you know it’s wrong, don’t you?” The JIP member stated. Hawkes repeatedly refused to answer questions posed to him and denied his involvement.
Hawkes goes by the name Gabrielle Gabby on social media, where he posts photos of himself dressed in high heels and makeup. Facebook pages that Hawkes followed were related to highly sexual content, including a sissy dating group, a sex toy shop, and a “cuckold convention” page posting suggestive captioned images.
Another page linked to through Hawkes’ profile, “Trans Queen,” is dedicated to “trans and trans lovers,” and posts photos of men who identify as transgender.
Two of the pages followed by Hawkes feature photos and videos of school-aged children in Thailand. One page description states that the page is a “social media gathering place for modern teenagers,” while the other solely shares photos of very young Thai women, some of them teenagers in braces.
JIP advised Reduxx that Hawkes was detained by police, but declined to provide identifying information with regards to where the sting had been conducted.
In response to an email inquiry from Reduxx, Kent Police stated that due to privacy law, until formal charges were brought they could not confirm or deny whether Hawkes’ had been arrested or was presently being investigated.
