minus-squareGrizzlyboy@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 months agoIn 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.
