West Midlands Police said Kainth had exchanged numerous messages with ‘young girls’ in April last year, and attempted to meet them for sexual activity.
However, he was stopped in his tracks by the force, who had specialist support from the West Midlands Regional Organised Crime Unit.
Kainth pleaded guilty to one count of arranging or facilitating commission of a child sex offence when he appeared at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Monday, March 9.
He also admitted one count of attempting to cause a female child aged under 13 to engage in sexual activity, attempting to cause a child a under 13 to look at an image of sexual activity and two counts of attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child.
In addition to his jail term, Kainth, of Rooker Crescent, Wolverhampton, was placed on the sex offenders register for life.
Following the hearing, Detective Inspector Chris Brown, said: “Kainth displayed predatory behaviour.
“He wanted to meet up and have sex with a child of 12 and thought the person he was talking to online was of that age.
“Instead he was talking to one of our undercover officers.
“We are pleased that we were able to stop Kainth from attempting to talk to children online and now he is behind bars is no longer a threat to young girls.”
