As Lee says, it will depend on content of the conversation and ages involved. Could vary from a community order to 10 years (Although the worse I have seen on here is 3 to 4 years - This length seems to be under 13s and when penetrative sex has been discussed). The ranges between sentencing is quite large both dependant on the conversation content and the judge.

On a side note - Do the police ever catch people that weren't talking to a decoy?! Or at least any evidence that prior to the decoy they'd sought engagement or material relating to children. Seems quite rare and makes me wonder how much they are really doing to protect children. Sorry, having a grumble.
