OAP wurde zu Unrecht von Pädojägern angeklagt, die so große Angst um ihre Sicherheit hatten, dass sie versuchten, sich selbst ins Gefängnis zu bringen

There’s a reason the Police don’t encourage or endorse these groups. Framing someone incorrectly as a peado has consequences and doesn’t wash out easily. People have killed themselves after being falsely accused by these groups and yet they’re still a thing.
So many of these groups use the idea of ‘protecting the kids’ as a cheap crutch for publicity and notoriety. Somehow I don’t think an extensive amount of online chatting to creeps, needs to end up in a live stream in order to be investigated.
They love to hide behind the ‘the police won’t do anything’ line as reasoning for creating extremely dangerous situations that have the capacity to go tremendously wrong.
Funny how many of these „Paedophile Hunting Groups“ consist off unemployed middle aged white men, some of who have previous criminal convictions of a sexual nature.
They are nothing but mobs of utter twats trying to make a name for themselves who very often actually make the job much more difficult for the Police.
I wish there were stats for how many people get investigated for this by ‚paedo hunters‘ vs police and the respective conviction rates.
I’d imagine the social cost for being accused by hunters is much higher than being investigated by police, though honestly this whole thing seems like something I don’t know much about.
God, we live on such a hateful little fucking island don’t we.
WTF happened to this country?
We have racist knuckle-draggers, petty criminals, thugs and corrupt scumbag millionaires and divisive hatemongering politicians in abundance.
I’m certain that a huge number of these paedo hunter types are simply sadistic predators who have found a victim group that no one will stand up for. It’s the same MO as serial killers who prey on sex workers or, ironically, paedophiles who abuse troubled children.
These “paedo hunters” don’t care about kids one bit. They purely want attention, likes and views. They’re all pathetic.
This amateur vigilantism has to stop. By all means assist the police but ruining innocent roles lives for online clout is awful
Innocent until proven guilty is the bastion of rule of law which most frequently comes under attack in the UK, particularly with allegations of a sexual nature. This story is only a natural consequence of what happens when you allow „the mob“ to have any say in the justice system or a disproportionate hold on the general rhetoric.
What’s funny is Reddit is literally only one step removed from this. I frequently come across so many on this platform who believe any accusation of a sexual nature is gospel and who get thousands of upvotes for making wild assertions about cases in which they have no expertise or evidence. This platform is rife with „no smoke without fire“ people who then balk at stories like this.
This is dreadful. No one should have to deal with this.
Poor guy, glad he has some sort of support and they’ve moved him elsewhere, shame he had to move in the first place, surely the group who were harassing him had crossed a line when they formed a mob outside his home? Why haven’t they been dealt with by the police? Not to start arguments but people have been visited by the police for much less so why are these people seemingly allowed to film themselves harassing an innocent person to the extreme and make fake claims. They should be named at the least, if they don’t think they’re doing anything wrong then put their names to their actions.
> Under the Online Safety Act, Malicious Communications Act, or Communications Act, sending false information with the intent to cause distress, anxiety, or harm is an offence.
> Under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 (and equivalent Scottish laws), it is a crime to engage in a „course of conduct“ that causes a person alarm, severe distress, or fear of violence.

It’s a nightmare the paedo-hunters produce dog shit evidence. They commit just as many offences themselves and it’s a mess.
Even when they do catch an actual peado they usually screw up the evidential chain so they walk free.
This is the problem when random morons who’ve no law experience get into vigilante justice. From these groups to even Reddit which nearly caused the deaths from its online detectives, E.g. the poor devil in the Boston bombing some neckbeards on here incorrectly identified
This is why all those filth should be locked up the instant they post their stupid videos
They always target the same demographic as well. I’ve never seen these groups sting a genuine paedophile who wasn’t a middle aged or elderly (often white) man.
No women, even though there’s been so many stories out of female teachers who have been convicted of relationships with underage students, etc.
Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Especially for crimes such as this? Even if the police and courts don’t find them guilty and they’re really innocent, they’re still ostracised
I do wonder which part of paedo hunting is appealing. The paedo or the hunt
Also have a look at how many of these peadophile hunters have actually turned out to be….yes you guessed it….peadophiles.
This article also reminds me of the peadophile hunters who were trying to take down a paediatrician back in the late 90’s.
Got paywalled by the article. Did it mention the group that accused him of it? Or are they hidden under ‚peado hunters‘. They should be held responsible.
See the thing is, if you try to uphold the law you have to kinda follow it. Twats.
Vigilantism is for scumbags. Go to the third world if you want to practice it. Obviously it’s unfortunate when the police can’t be trusted to act in the peoples‘ best interest like in the UK right now, but that’s a problem that needs to be addressed politically on an institutional level. That doesn’t mean you can just go around ruining peoples‘ lives with your vigilantism fetish.
That’s a really sad story – what a bunch of arseholes. Struggling to cope after his wife’s death, has learning difficulties, forced to move from the town he’s lived in since he was four.
Those pedo hunters are the final form of the humble chav
This poor man looks so sad, it’s awful that he should be chilling in his old age and instead he has to deal with this scum.
They don’t have the balls to confront actual child sex slave trafficking rings, they’re basically as useless as the police
Was sat in a park once and a bunch of chavs were yelling at the park warden that he was a nonce for standing behind a mum and her two young kids…..turns out he was a family friend 🤷♂️
