Vigilante group confronts paedophile who thinks he is meeting a 13-year-old

A paedophile who had planned to meet a 13-year-old girl for sex was instead confronted on camera by a vigilante gang. Footage shows members of The Hunted One, a paedophile-hunting group, approach Adrian Stroe next to East Croydon station, south London. They had been chatting to Stroe online pretending to be a 13-year-old girl called Lucy Stephens.“Lucy” had made it clear she was only 13 and had never had sex before but Stroe, 28, had told her it would “only hurt for one or two minutes”. He also sent her pictures of his erect penis and told her he was 24, instead of 28. In the video of the confrontation a member of The Hunted One said: “You like meeting children for sex do you?”
