Inside the violent world of online pedophile hunters

Listen to this episode from NO SUCH THING on Spotify. 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. If you or someone you know has experienced sexual assault, you are not alone.
