Stinson Hunter (born Kieran Parsons, 10 October 1981)[ citation needed] is a British vigilante [1] who is best known for his role in the documentary The Paedophile Hunter. The film investigating child sexual exploitation was named "Best Documentary on a Contemporary Theme" in the 42nd British Documentary Awards, which "celebrates documentaries from Britain and abroad that "have made a significant contribution to the genre." [2]
The Guardian published an article referencing the film, and reporting the estimated 10 active paedophile hunting groups in the UK. [3] "While the police are critical of such groups in public, they privately provide advice and support on how to conduct stings. 'The police are like us. They’re human beings,' a member of a group said. 'They have families, so they understand what we’re doing and why we’re doing it.'” [3]
Hunter's personal challenges, such as past issues with alcohol, drugs and a prison term have been reported in editorial newspapers as well as tabloid newspapers. [4] [5]
