Inside the violent world of online pedophile hunters

NO SUCH THING

About this episode

You might remember To Catch a Predator with Chris Hansen, but now streamers are making their own version, and they’re a lot more violent. New York Times reporter Aric Toler takes us inside the world of modern-day “pedophile hunters,” while Stefan Turkheimer, VP of Public Policy at RAINN, shares what justice could—and should—look like for survivors.

Check out Aric's visual investigation on online pedophile hunters.
