New criminal offence for paedophile hunters to post online before a conviction
Background
Make it a criminal offence for online paedophile hunters to post anything regarding the people they accuse before that person has been convicted.
Additional details
This is due to the number of innocent people being accused by these groups. Many people have had their lives ruined because their face and in some cases addresses have been posted online by these groups claiming them to be paedophiles, This is vigilantism at its finest and this must stop. Their influence to affect people’s decisions is extraordinary.
