    I’m going to be honest, I’m suspicious of every single ‘pedophile hunter’. They are going after a demographic that people will not rush to defend, even if innocent.

    Also, these ‘hunters’ probably have something shady going on in their own lives, and this is some form of projection that they also profit off of.

      I wouldn’t even be surprised if a bunch of them are pedophiles themselves. Projection and such.

      In Norway last year we had a case where 5 16-19 yo set up a sextrap for a guy in his 40s.

      The teens claimed he’s a pedo, beat him, filmed it and posted it online.

      All of the “pedohunters” involved were found guilty on all accounts. The guy is free and getting a big pay out from the teens.

      It’s really unfortunate, but these kinds of people aren’t in it to prevent child abuse. They’re in it for themselves.
