A 31-year-old pedophile nurse, who devised a plan to sexually abuse a four-month-old child, has been cut off from a nursing council.

In online conversations, Thomas Harrison, who hails from Mossley Hill, Liverpool, England, plotted to abuse the baby with a man he thought was the child's dad, reported Daily Mail.

Harrison was actually chatting with an undercover cop and not the baby's father, but the male nurse was not aware of it. The conversations took place on the dating site Grindr in July 2020, and Harrison also requested photos of his supposed son, saying that when it came to sex, he had "no limits." During their interactions, the pedophile described a sexual act he planned to commit on the baby, and also shared a fantasy of "watching the officer do the same to his own baby."

Arrangement for the man and his baby to visit Harrison's house was made by the nurse, who worked in St Helens, Merseyside, England. On July 27, the cop met the pedophile, and told him to "close the curtains" and wait inside. That's when other cops came in to arrest him. For facilitating the commission of a child sex offence, Merseyside Police arrested the nurse, who was placed on the Sex Offenders Register for 10 years in October last year, and was sentenced to two years in jail.

According to Liverpool Echo, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) shared earlier this week that they have removed him from their nursing register. An 18-month interim suspension order was also imposed by the NMC, according to which he should not practice for its duration.

NMC documents, covering the nurse's hearing on Sept. 17, said that the panel was given a certificate of conviction which confirmed that on Sept. 16 last year at Crown Court in Liverpool, Harrison was convicted of facilitating arranging the commission of a child sex offence, and that he had admitted the charge against him. The documents further stated that the panel agreed that the nature of his conviction was extremely serious and involved a vulnerable infant. It also brought the occupation into disrepute and breached the job's fundamental tenets, said the documents.

After he was sent to prison, Detective Constable Craig Doyle said, "Harrison has shown by his actions that he clearly poses a danger to children, and I am very pleased to say he is safely behind bars."
