400 violent attacks on registered sex offenders in five years as people take law into own hands
"More than 400 violent attacks have taken place on sex offenders in the past five years.
Figures revealed under the Freedom of Information Act show vigilantes in Avon and Somerset could have taken the law into their own hands 406 times.
The statistic comes as more paedophiles are being exposed via the internet – with some being targeted by vigilante groups organising sting operations.
Avon and Somerset Police confirmed that in 2015 there were 93 attacks on registered sex offenders."
