Assistant Chief Constable Dan Vajzovic, the National Police Chiefs’ Council’s so-called lead for online child abuse groups, has gone so far as to allege that “[w]hen [paedophile hunters] say they are acting in the interests of children, largely they are acting in their own interests, their self-aggrandisement and their desire to exercise force against so-called perpetrators of child abuse” — although why this should matter, even if it was true, is unclear, so long as they do manage to bring groomers before the courts.
Vajzovic has also suggested that some of the prosecutions brought as a result of paedophile hunter activity “may have diverted police resources from more significant offenders,” and that, therefore, “the activity of these groups is not positive” overall.
