Everyone’s talking about: The Paedophile Hunter

By4_pqBIYAAy6pF Channel 4 Channel 4

The Channel 4 documentary aired last night and proved to be some very uncomfortable viewing. Stinson Hunter and his team posed as kids online and lured paedophiles into an on-camera confrontation in various sting operations.

Twitter was set alight at the disturbing results, with many congratulating Hunter, and others condemning his vigilantism.

You can catch it on 4oD if you missed it.
