UK: Target of vigilantism moves for the 6th time after being targeted again.

A man from Huddersfield, UK moved from his home days after it was vandalized with graffiti that named him as a “paedo”. According to the news report, the 39-year-old had lived in Huddersfield since he left Dewsbury in West Yorkshire after being beaten up by a dad, and it is believed that this is the sixth time he has had to move since being released from prison in 2008.

He is registered for the 2008 offense of possessing 49 indecent images of children and sent to prison for 20 weeks. That would have made him 20 or 21 at the time of the offense. A neighbor said she became aware the man was living at the address after a post by a voluntary online group which monitors sex offenders.

The Courts determined that the appropriate punishment for what he did was 20 days in jail. Apparently every neighborhood he moves to since feels otherwise and that he need to continue to be harassed and shamed more than 17 years later. And they say the registry is not punishment!
