In other messages, the court heard they had discussed: sexually abusing two children, including a girl aged six; drugging and sexually assaulting a 17-year-old; and procuring a 13-year-old boy for Sutton's 25th birthday.
He is charged with 20 offences, including one count of raping a child, three counts of causing a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity and one count of sexual assault on a child.
Two men who described themselves as "pedos" in messages discussed raping someone in the changing rooms of a swimming pool, and kidnapping schoolchildren, a court has heard.
Jurors were also told that Ireland and his flatmate David Sutton, 27, who volunteered with the Pride group, "targeted children for their sexual proclivities" between 2022 and 2024.
Prosecutor Isabel Delamere said the conversations were beyond fantasy and jurors were told that the pair discussed targeting children outside school gates while pretending to be a talent coach or music manager and how to avoid CCTV.
