"heroes"

As an abused man who is now 60 but 48 years ago at the age of 12 I was raped by an 18 year old psychopathic pedophile in boarding school and it still haunts me to this day ! The Paedophile Hunter is an excellent documentary on the shocking behavior of grown-up men who want to abuse under-age kids , girls and boys and the police doesn't seem to have the financial (and maybe other reasons ) means to track these psychopaths who ruin lives and should be punished in certain cases and if they haven't done anything yet should get treatment for their sick and twisted fantasies , why aren't there more people who get these perverts so our children can live innocent lives until they're ready for sexual encounters ! A must see documentary !

Terrible what people will do for a personal high
Msbnitski8 August 2021
This program hits close to home. People I knew and know did what these people are accused of. It was something back in the 70's like, you know what so and so did. Ha ha, look the other way.

Today, I can't help feel the pain these people brought on young people back then. I can only watch and wish that these people would be brought to justice and live their remaining days behind bars where justice would be served.

This is a terrible life style and I hope more of these sick narcissist people are caught and are made to realize what and who they hurt.

Nothing but a scammer these days....
martinhavelock15 January 2024
Take a look at him now on Facebook, all he does is scam people for money for projects that never happen, such as a Kickstarter in 2015 to do another documentary, which raised 32 grand and the documentary never happened, and money wasn't refunded.

He does lives where he talks about his supposed mental health problems (for sympathy), random stories in the news, or whatever just so people can throw stars at him.

He constantly re-uploads all his decade old stings again and again, because he has them monitised and makes money from the adverts on them.

When something doesn't go his way he blames everybody else but himself for it, even when he's clearly at fault, because he lacks accountability, and maturity.

His latest money making scheme is a "community cafe", which will never happen. He participated on a Christmas song recently, where the other guy (Kieran Bott) did pretty much everything on the song, and all Stinson did was play bass guitar badly, and shouted on the song about how Home Alone 2 was better than Home Alone, that was his sole contribution. He posted it on his social media accounts, and did an interview with a newspaper in Coventry, nothing more, and when it didn't succeed in charting anywhere blamed the other guy, who did so more than he did, and has been in the music industry for around two decades. He was hoping for it to hit the top 40, it didn't even hit the top 4000.

Hes a convicted arsonist who burned a school causing £250,000 worth of damage, for which he served a prison sentence, urinated on his ex-girlfriends clothes out of sheer spite, and uses people for his own means then dumps them when he's done with them, and so much more.

He's no hero, he's nothing to be admired and looked up to, he's just a grifter who cannot move on from what he did well over a decade ago. He claims full PIP and it's about time the DWP looked into him, and the money he makes.

Compelling, Hard to Watch
mycellardoor2418 October 2014
Warning: Spoilers
The Paedophile Hunter is a darkly compelling glimpse at the underbelly of society that most people don't like to think really exists. Stinson Hunter and his crew have taken to a controversial method to expose men who prey on children under the legal UK age of 16. He does so by posing as a child, using a young looking picture and then simply waits to be contacted.

Then upon arranging to meet the man, Stinson and his crew question him and film him. This is where the controversy begins. The stings are undeniable for what they truly expose. It's horrifying to watch and hear the messages that these men have sent to what they believe is a child as young as 11. The denials are all the same as are the defenses. Stinson is undeterred, professional and relentless.

Ultimately, what this film stands for is increased awareness of the sheer amount of predators out there. The film is hard to watch and gut wrenching at times (the man who went to meet an 11 year old disabled child and turned up with a bottle of wine in particular). Stinson himself seems genuinely driven by the desire to expose and deter.

This will divide people in terms of opinion, but the divide is telling. In striving to protect children and expose the nasty, dark corners of the internet Stinson's motives become irrelevant.

A game changer for a world reliant on the technology that some predators abuse. Watch it.

Not very good, the guys a conman
markpickford-2672815 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
So skintson is in a documentary and claiming its his when in fact it isnt. Hes scamming people left right and centre.

Hes abusing a 11year old little boy on twitter because the little boy did a petition to have the glasses emoji removed from apple as he finds it offensive. Skintson writes on his twitter about this little bot wholst sharing the post, "specky little C🛑💥T needs to shut up" and then on his post abusing the little boy, his followers join in and then a few grown adults all join in bullying him! They say its not bullying as they also wear glasses so its ok and they dont find it offensive!

Brilliant.
eyremegan4 May 2023
Don't understand how this is rated even remotely lower than a 10/10. People doing jobs that unfortunately police aren't funded enough on and there are clearly so many disgusting predators out there. I thank all the people involved for using their own unpaid time and taking it into their own hands. Im so glad it's being streamed on platforms like Netflix for more people to see and realise how real this real and truly is. It's a hard watch but it's an unfortunate reality of life which needs to change.

I have 88 characters left so just filling up the rest of them.. nothing more to read here. Have a blessed day.

To the point, on the nose, and honest
iwatkin19 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The Paedophile Hunter is a little weird as documentaries go. Coming in at just over an hour. It cuts straight to the chase and explains who the hunters are and how they go about their work. Interspersed between footage of "nonces" being apprehended and questioned, are segments of Jim Gamble and DC Jonathan Taylor explaining that no laws are being broken but that this kind of approach is dangerous to the perpetrators and their families. One particular case that ended in suicide is then raised, and then it's all over.

This is one documentary that doesn't attempt to sway the argument in any particular direction, which is how all documentaries should be. It just presents the facts through snippets of interviews and actual footage, provides some opposing opinions, and then leaves the viewer to decide.

Short and sweet.

Move over Sunday night, Stinson's here
videorama-759-85939127 November 2017
I caught this show by chance, as having a double dose of these scum, an earlier segment, that Sunday night, on Sunday Night, where they had a Sydney sting operation, catching unawares 40 yr old peds, meeting with pretty fifteen year old girls. We see the ped's traits a mile off, overweight, average looking, on the hunt for teen flesh, where instead, they find a rude awakening. Now cut to this later show, this was Sunday Night ramped up, where this late British teen, obviously a victim, at one time, sets up this sting with his friends, in a kind of underground operation, to catch peds, report em' and have the cops take these evil pedo fu..ers in, and basically ruin their lives, one such pedo objective, it went, further, resulting in a suicide, but like this victim, the unwavering, uncompromising Stinson says, "He had a choice", a cliché line, regarding pedo's to a tee. The first one I happen to spot on this show, was the calmist rock spider I ever met, when being stung, his attitude, that of indifference, it truly chilled me, and had my hair wrists standing on edge. Stinson and his boys work outside the law, but bring in a good catch of sicko sickie's, another one, I'm not even gonna tell, what his sexual victim was. We need shows like this, to really get this sick subject out there, so society can see just how these scum operate. For this kind of subject, this show was pretty hard core, knocking Sunday Night out of the water. Stinson is likable, he'll grow on ya, where we need more people out there like him, regardless of the fates that ensue, from the cornered pedo..asse's. Watch this show, but be cautioned, where at times it's pretty disturbing and affecting, but truly warrants one's viewing.
