Czech Radio: prosecutor charges 11 people in Czech ‘paedophile hunters’ case

A Czech prosecutor has charged 11 people over a series of violent attacks carried out by a group known as the so-called paedophile hunters, Czech Radio reported. The defendants, ten men and one woman from Prague, allegedly used fake social-media profiles posing as teenage girls to lure adult men to meetings, where they were then assaulted and humiliated. Eight of those charged were minors at the time of the offences. The prosecutor is seeking suspended sentences of up to 30 months for most defendants, while one faces an aggregate prison term of 15 months. The case is due to be heard by the Prague 9 District Court in mid-February.
