Angry mob descends on paedophile's home after vile sexual chats with NINE 'girls'

A paedophile who had vile sexual chats with NINE 'girls' took 24 paracetamol tablets as an angry mob descended on his home. Carl Evans, 56, tried to chat online with teenage girls for his own twisted sexual pleasure.

But he was actually talking to paedophile hunters who had set up 'decoy' profiles in a bid to seek out potential predators. When they went to confront Evans at his home in Salford, there was 'considerable public disorder' as members of the public displayed 'aggression and violence' towards him, Minshull Street Crown Court heard.

Evans had to be removed from the area by officers from GMP 's Tactical Aid Unit. But even after that, Evans did not curb his behaviour. He was released under investigation and went on to have sexual chats with another decoy.
