Dark Justice
Dark Justice (founded on 30 October 2014) were a vigilante group operation set up to catch paedophiles based in Newcastle upon Tyne operated by two men using the pseudonyms Scott (born 1991) and Callum (born 1994). They are not police officers, although their tactics are similar to those sometimes used by police. They are an online group who pose as children normally between the ages of 11 and 15 in order to catch online child groomers. When they meet a child groomer in real life, members of Dark Justice wear bulletproof vests. Their evidence has been used in court and has successfully secured the prosecution of over 115 online groomers including Roger Lee, and Barry Scott. In May 2018, the Evening Chronicle reported that Dark Justice have secured over 150 arrests with over 40 of those being jailed.
