UK: Public dissemination of registrants details leads to vigilantism.

Detectives have charged two men after a series of incidents in Leeds where details of alleged sex offenders were posted online. After details were posted online, large numbers of people attended several locations and caused disorder, police said.

Darren Cosgrove, 47, of Clover Close, Seacroft, Leeds, and Jack Clarkson, 35, of Freemans Way, Wetherby, have been charged with violent disorder, stalking and public nuisance, West Yorkshire Police said.
