Pedophile Hunters Say Targeting Reaching “Epidemic” Levels
(VERO BEACH, FL) The Newcastle-based duo, who use the pseudonyms Scott and Callum, set up fake profiles on social media posing as girls or boys aged 11 to 15. They never instigate conversations and immediately tell those who contact them that they are underage.
They try to avoid sexual conversations, acting young and uneducated. They only arrange a meeting if it is suggested by a third party. They then inform police, and go along to film the suspected offender.
Scott told RT there are certain chat rooms he goes into and “within 8 seconds there will be someone actively wanting to meet any child of any age.”
He says live streaming apps such as Lively and Musicly are “breeding grounds” for predators, who ask to go on webcam and send unsolicited pictures of their private parts or sexually explicit videos.
“On Facebook, we will go on a Justin Bieber fan group, or One Direction fan group. And just post ‘I love Justin Bieber,’ something like that, and you’ll get all the men, some very old men, trying to add you.
“That’s how they’re doing it. They are in the groups where children are going to be. Absolutely vile.”
Since its inception in October 2014, Dark Justice says it has caught 113 suspected pedophiles. Of these, 54 have been convicted and the rest are awaiting trial.
Scott says the scale of the problem is much larger than what official statistics show. He says “it is happening on a massive level and getting worse.”
