Worrying trend from a vigilante group who set up fake profiles of under age girls and then instigate meetings with peadophiles who believer that they are going to meet the said girls.

It seems to be the case that this group called dark justice are creating the crime as well as arresting someone. The purpose I believe is more for their own machismo satisfaction than making the streets safer. It would be like shouting abuse at an aggressive skinhead and then arresting them when they retaliate violently.

Mary Whitehouse- Thomas did this exact same thing around the mid 2000's then passed most of the contacts he had to DC ------- ------- who once the individual had already been taken out of his thoughts sitting at a pc to actually "arranging to meet" (that is the crime)
Most young girls would tell the wouldbe perv to "fuck off you dirty old man" but of course if its your sole intention to create a crime you will go along with the whole thing.
The met police caught over 250 men 2007/8 on arranging/ traveling to meet after sexual grooming, infact the charge could only be "attempted grooming" in the courts eyes due to the fact the perpertrator was talking to a police officer not a 14 yr old girl.
Mary W-T started it off and its going to end very badly for someone soon.
On youtube there are a couple of MWT vids where her follows the Met Paedophile unit arresting mostly the ones MWT had set up.
Great, create a crime for your own personal gain to your own interests.
Once you break someone past their thought crime the rest is easy.

I assume you mean this Robbie

So that is where its wrongly starts.

A paedophile hunter setting up a fake i/d of a 14 year old on an over 18's website, you already have to hook before she reveals she is 14, by that time its to late.
The MET as far as I know only use the sites forall ages but mainly under18's


The youtube link
just search Mark Williams Thomas " to catch a paedophile" and you will find parts 1 & 2
Mary Whitehouse-Thomas souced most of these arrested men before janding over to the MET so he could film the arrests for his MWT associates company, just look at it as generating your own ends.
Prior to this TV prog MWT had sat in court to see the proceedings through to conviction to make sure he could get good filming for the To catch a paedophile prog.
No entrapement laws in the UK so nojustification for arrange/traveling to me a child, you turn up so your guilty, my worry is the parts played by MWT in which those chat logs never exist for the courts only the MET covert officer logs.

a lot of these fanatics remind me of the old gay bashers who often turned out to be closet gays. Believe me I met some who really did go out in gangs beating up some poor old queen and then could be spotted alone lurking in the backroom of the Colherne Pub in Earls Court.

they seem fixated and obsessed with 'pedos' and their ability to mimic a 14 year old girl is quite alarming.

The potential for tragedy is huge : most of these sad geezers are blokes who would never get near a woman or girl but on the internet where fantasy rules..suddenly they find a girl finds them attractive and the date is arranged... but..

what if they get all het up and back out of seeing the weirdo 30 year old bloke posing as a girl and decide to nab some real girl on the way?

Murphy's Law says that any scenario possible will happen.

I think somehow they get a kick out of playing a school girl.
soon enough somthing will go wring as yiu say Hedda.
