There are some crimes you’ll find sympathy is sorely lacking for and paedophilia definitely falls under that umbrella.

Perhaps that’s why 45-year-old David Hanson collapsed after being caught, the vigilante group Dark Justice catching him out by posing as a 14-year-old girl.

Hanson first reached out to the girl’s profile on dating site Badoo, where the profile said she was 18. Later the vigilante group, posing as a girl called Amanda, told Hanson she was in fact 14. Here’s the Daily Mail:

They made arrangements to meet on 21 July at the Centre for Life in Newcastle before going back to Amanda’s house where Hanson would stay overnight as her parents were away.

They spoke of having a cuddle and touching one another and Hanson told Amanda she ‘would be happy by the end of the night’.

Hanson pleaded guilty to one count of attempting to meet a child following sexual grooming…

Judge Sloan sentenced Hanson to a three-year community order and he was also given a ten-year sexual harm prevention order.

Speaking after an earlier hearing, a Dark Justice member said: ‘His eyes rolled back and he just went straight to the ground.

Personally I think the man belongs behind bars.
