Dollymarie Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Certainly compelling viewing. I say well done to the bloke. The woman who had the baby with the one who killed himself, I say better a kid without a dad rather than a paedophile for a dad. The thing I couldn't understand was why all the perverts had only ended up with suspended sentences!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dollymarie Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 He's clearly been abused as a child, so probably struggles to trust people, further reinforced by his work. The dog can't hurt or abuse him, so he trusts and loves the dog completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richwwtk Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Compelling viewing indeed, although it was also incredibly disturbing how easily he could lure these people to his house, and just how many of them there were. I also thought that a very good point was made by one of the contributors about the fact that, despite being paedophiles and deserving no mercy, they may well have completely innocent families and plastering everything over the internet is hardly the best way to minimise the harm done to them. He would have been much better advised to just hand his evidence to the police, or call the police directly to him the way that he was sometimes seen doing. I have a horrible feeling that most of them got away with suspended sentences due, in part, to the circumstances in which they were caught.

Most definitely. Still better that than never caught at all. I can't get my head round the one chap who no action was taken against. Seems like weak prosecuting to me.

richwwtk Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Most definitely. Still better that than never caught at all. True enough, but would it not be better for some kind of police unit be set up to fulfill this role and ensure that everything they had was watertight? I can't get my head round the one chap who no action was taken against. Seems like weak prosecuting to me. I'd guess that there was some kind of flaw in the evidence presented by Stinson Hunter that made it inadmissible? Either way, I figure he's a marked man wherever he goes from now on.

Dollymarie Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 The other bit I liked was when he was saying "don't walk down there, people know me" and then the paedo was getting dogs abuse from those who knew Stinson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I think the realism is that policing doesn't have the budget to deal with such a large scale problem. And you wouldn't believe the red tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambridge Batch Red Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 The only way to deal with these monster perverts is castration through enforced anti-libidinal medication. No good signing the sex offenders register, what a waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on rich, I was tempted to donate myself but it's the innocent families problem that stops me. I know some lads whose brother was convicted. Whilst they have disowned him they would be devestated if it was made public. No easy answers to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballwinningcentrehalf Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Not a fan of this vigilante. I'd rather he stayed out of it all together, but if he really can't resist acting as a 12 year old child constantly then the least he could do is quietly hand all the information to the authorities without trying to make himself a martyr/famous in the whole situation. I wonder how many potential peadophiles are living freely in society because his methods have ruined any chance of a conviction? I'd hazard a guess that it's a higher number than those that have actually ended up behind bars due to his efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I appreciate none of them actually ended up behind bars as it were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 One does tend to wonder what he gets out of it... It seemed quite obvious he was abused as a child and perhaps the only way he knows how to deal with it is to try and stop others suffering?

Perhaps because the police don't seem interested, the handling of this is national disgrace and heads need to roll. This happened only LAST WEEK it beggars belief and if this guy can do it this easily, why don't the police release some motorist botherer's from their money making duties and do this themselves. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/11131610/Police-under-fire-after-delaying-investigation-into-paedophile-teacher-for-nine-months.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One BCFC Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 The guy who came from Oxford to see the 12 year old to 'watch scary movies' was ridiculous, they show absolutely no remorse whatsoever and see themselves as being the victim.

WithywoodRed Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Great show. Better than the U.S 'version' To catch a predator which was good too but Chris Hansen is a smug bar steward imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 One of my favourite videos is on his website. A gay Geordie chap turns up to meet a 14 year old boy and when confronted says "I was only doing it to advise him what he's doing is wrong!" To which Hunter replies, "well why did you ask him if he likes the taste of c*m then?" Awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Surely this is entrapment though? I haven't watched the programme but had planned to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Surely this is entrapment though? Possibly explaining the sentances handed out. While they thought they were talking to children underage they technically weren't and I'd imagine that may be the loophole that lets some of these individuals off.

Fordy62 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Entrapment eh. Funny you should say as one of the Paedos says that to him. He retorts by explaining that entrapment is only applicable to law enforcement agencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Batman Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Great show. Better than the U.S 'version' To catch a predator which was good too but Chris Hansen is a smug bar steward imo. i used to watch that show. you can still get them all up on Youtube. From memory, when the show first started they could not arrest them, but the law changed so then the police were outside waiting for them once they'd "interviewed" the people that arrived.

Red-Robbo Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 I'd prefer it if Keiron "Stinson Hunter" Parsons was not a former repeat offender. Anyone know what he went inside for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 I believe it was arson when he was in his teens Cheers. That enabled me to find this http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/online-crime-fighter-stinson-hunter-6800023 He still strikes me as a bit of a dick, BUT I cannot fault what he does in that programme. The cops don't have the time or inclination to do this work much, and any adult who arranges to meet children, sometimes as young as 11, for sex deserves all the humiliation they get.
