John Davies, 45, a registered sex offender from Stoke-on-Trent, was jailed for a string of offences after he planned a visit to the mother's home in Birmingham while her husband was away in order to sexually abuse her daughter.
The court heard that the pair had explicit conversations about the specific sexual acts he planned to inflicted upon the girl, with Davies going as far as suggesting she would be "sore by the end of the week".
The mother and paedophile also deliberated over what clothes the girl should wear during the week-long visit to her home, which was arranged to take place while the woman's husband was away.
Davies also sent a picture of his collection of sex toys and descriptions of how each would be used.
Davies pleaded guilty in May 2024 to attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child, distributing an indecent photograph of a child, three counts of making an indecent photograph of a child and three counts of breaching a sexual harm prevention order (SHPO).
Officers found a total of 132 indecent images of children at 'Category A' on his devices - the most serious tier of child abuse imagery.

The discovery came after the force's Public Protection Unit carried out an investigation in April 2024 following intelligence suggesting Davies had breached the SHPO.
Police raided his home on April 27, 2024, recovering the mobile device from a kitchen cupboard.
The force also found 35 'Category B' images and 77 'Category C' images on the phone, the court heard.
Mr Daley admitted that the footage shown in court contained girls as young as six-years-old.
During the case, the court was informed that Davies, a registered sex offender, had previously been imprisoned in 2016 for offences including attempting to meet a child following sexual grooming and attempted sexual activity with a child under 16.
A jury a Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court subsequently found him guilty of arranging and/or facilitating the commission of a child sex offence, including rape and assault by penetration of a child under 13.
On Wednesday, Davies was jailed for 20-years - comprising of a 14-and-a-half year custodial sentence and five-and-a-half years extended licence.
Detective Constable Nathalie Connolly lead the case. She said: “I am pleased that we have been able to deliver a positive outcome on this case.
“I hope this sentencing shows that we are committed to tackling child sex offences and keeping children across Staffordshire safe.”
