In 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.
