A perverted Australian cop has admitted trying to groom an American teenager with graphic online messages including a picture of his genitals taken next to his police shirt.
James Anthony Gwynne was also caught sending explicit content referencing incest and bestiality in conversations with other women using the encrypted social media app Whisper.
The 30-year-old officer from Liverpool in Sydney‘s south-west used Whisper to contact women he had never met and share his sick fantasies, including impregnating his own daughters.
Gwynne, who stated he did not actually have children, bragged about being a policeman and told one female Whisper user ‘my secret is that my fantasies are illegal’.

In April last year James Gwynne contacted a Whisper user and asked if she would want ‘a cute Australian cop’ to get the woman and her 12-year-old daughter pregnant
Most of Gwynne’s messages, which were sent when he was based at Waverley police station in Sydney’s east, are too explicit to publish.
Gwynne’s fantasies are laid out in a series of exchanges included in a statement of facts tendered to Campbelltown District Court.
In the earliest recorded conversation with another Whisper user, Gwynne asked, ‘What did you do that crossed a line?’ and then encouraged her to describe having sex with a boy when she was a babysitter.
He asked one woman, ‘Do you ever wish your dog could get you pregnant and have your own puppies?’ then said, ‘You will get no judgement from me’ followed by a smiley face emoji.
Gwynne told another woman, ‘I also have a fantasy about one day having daughters and taking their virginities and impregnating them. Sorry if that’s way too f**ked up for you.’

When a third woman asked what it was Gwynne liked about the idea of his future wife engaging in bestiality he replied, ‘Oh I just like the thought that she’s so submissive she’ll even bow to my wishes’.
In March last year, while calling himself ‘daddy’, Gwynne asked a Whisper user if she would send pictures of herself, describing her as ‘his little breeding toy’.
‘My confession is that my fantasies are pretty f**ked up and I’ve never told anyone because I will go to jail,’ he wrote.
When the Whisper user – who claimed to be 17 – said she would not show Gwynne her face because ‘I’m still a minor after all’, he asked, ‘What if I told you that I do a job that makes it even worse for daddy?’
Whisper user: ‘What is it daddy?’
Gwynne: ‘Daddy is a police officer.’
Whisper user: ‘Police officer and perv lol.’
In April last year Gwynne contacted another Whisper user and asked if she would want ‘a cute Australian cop’ to get the woman and her 12-year-old daughter pregnant.
Woman: ‘Are you really a cop? Why would you be on this site?’
Gwynne: ‘Yes I am but I’m from Australia. Honestly I’m a bit of an introvert outside of work and this is how I speak to people.’
Woman: ‘Yes but as law enforcement are you not obligated to report or investigate the activities on this site?’
When one teenager said she did not want to show Gwynne her face because ‘I’m still a minor after all’, he asked, ‘What if I told you that I do a job that makes it even worse for daddy?’
The same month officers from the US Human Trafficking Investigators Task Force in Minnesota conducted a covert operation using the assumed online identity (AOI) of a 15-year-old girl.
Gwynne contacted the AOI and told her he was an Australian policeman. She told him she was in her sophomore year of high school.
Gwynne asked the AOI to send him pictures of herself and he forwarded her what was referred to in a statement of facts as ‘intimate content’ of an unknown nature.
AOI: ‘How about you prove to me ur a naughty Aussie cop and hold your badge next to it then I will.’
Gwynne: ‘I don’t have my badge at home with me. It’s in my locker at work lol.’
AOI: ‘Guess you’ll have to get creative to prove yourself. You seem like fun.’
At Waverley police station (above) Investigators found property including a tactical vest Gwynne wore in images he sent to a person who said she was a 15-year-old girl
Gwynne sent the AOI a photo of his erect penis next to his police shirt and later another photo that showed his face with the shirt in his mouth.
Police executed a search warrant on Gwynne’s home and Waverley police station at the end of April last year, according to the statement of facts tendered in court.
At the police station investigators found property including a tactical vest Gwynne wore in images he sent to the AOI.
In March this year Gwynne pleaded guilty to three counts of using a carriage service to transmit child abuse material and one of grooming a child to engage in sexual activity outside Australia.
He also pleaded guilty to one count of using a carriage service to offend and one of using the same means to solicit child abuse material.
Gwynne, who has been suspended without pay from the NSW Police Force since May last year, is listed to face a sentencing hearing at Campbelltown District Court in August.
