Pro tip for wannabe vigilantes: when naming and shaming, spell names correctly.
I feel conflicted about this. On the one hand, it's great that these people are outed, neutralised and no longer able to act on their urges.
On the other, the idea of amateur, vigilante groups worries me a bit, just because there's no oversight and because of the way they operate - they tag the wrong name on a facebook post for example, some innocent person's going to be hounded, probably put in physical danger. But, I suppose these groups exist because demonstrably authorities have been unable or unwilling to deal with the problem.

I don't really have any sympathy with anyone who goes to meet what they think is a child with the intention of sexual activity.

I'm still in contact with his wife - it destroyed her life in the process.
No one had any idea. He was in a position of trust and authority.
It leaves you numb.
Yeah, agreed.

But you have to wonder about the whole situation. I'm sure, or at least I hope, they're smart enough to know where the entrapment line is, but in other area areas of law tempting someone, getting them on the hook, and then only at a later stage letting them know it's going to be illegal would not secure a conviction. If they start by saying they're 18, then 16, then 14, then as abhorrent as it all is, will the courts not see that as entrapment?
