Paedophiles get revenge on vigilante who brought 28 sex offenders to justice
Martine Berg Olsen Tuesday 7 Aug 2018 11:54 am
Paedophiles have sought revenge by portraying a vigilante, who has brought 28 sex offenders to justice, as a paedophile. Josh Blakely was forced to stop hunting for paedophiles and is too afraid to leave the house in fear of being attacked if someone recognises him from the six-month online hate campaign. The 38-year-old, from West Kensington, London, said: ‘I fear for my own safety now. If someone recognises me from what they have done I could be attacked by people thinking I am a sex offender.
‘People attack sex offenders in their society and people might think I am a sex offender if they see this online. ‘It’s taken my identity away from me, it’s taken my freedom away from me. They control my life.’ Blakely believes members of a paedophile ring, who feared he would target them next, stole images of him and created dozens of fake social media accounts, videos and website to wrongly paint him as a sex offender. The trolls even photoshopped images of Blakely to make it look like he had publicly demonstrated in a campaign to reduce the age of consent to six years old. He’s ‘pictured’ with a poster that reads: ‘I Josh Blakely demand Govt to lower the legal age of consent to six years old for boys and girls. Paedophiles are people! #SexWithKids.’
He now fears the next step is to try to set him up as a paedophile and make it look like he is trying to groom a child. Blakely said: ‘They have taken serious allegations to the police about the hunting community to try to get people arrested.
‘It’s very dangerous. They even posted up my home address and made threats to come and get me. ‘I am waiting for them to use my personal image to set me up and potentially use my “profile” to pretend to be me to groom a child. ‘Then they would use that evidence to set me up for an arrest and possible imprisonment for something I’ve never done. That is really scary for me.’ Despite Blakely reporting the images and social media pages, new Twitter profiles, YouTube accounts and LiveLeak videos describing him as a ‘nonce’ and a member of a ‘child porn paedophile ring’ continuously pops up. He said: ‘I have this fear that someone will recognise me and think I am a sex offender and I will be attacked or even killed.’
‘I don’t even go out and socialise anymore, I am single and shut myself in my own home like a prisoner.’ Blakely said he’s struggling to get a job because every time employers Google him ‘sex offender’ is the first thing they see. He said: ‘I can’t get employment because employers won’t want to employ someone that everywhere says is a sex offender. Even though I can prove that I am not a sex offender it doesn’t stop them from thinking it.’ Blakely continued: ‘I feel I know who it is – it is paedophiles who we have tried to expose or who feel threatened by the work we did. ‘I became well-known and respect in the community through the good work we were doing catching these paedophiles.
‘However looking back, I think I left myself open to threat without realising it. I opened myself up to too much.’ Blakely, who used to hunt paedophiles under the name Public Justice PHL, said: ‘I never did it to get famous and never got paid for what I did. I did it purely to ensure these kids got justice and to make sure these people weren’t out there doing this.
‘I have not committed any criminal offence. All I have done is protected children from being abused. It feels wrong then that I should be punished for it in this way.’ Blakely said he had applied for Google’s ‘right to be forgotten’ under EU laws, but they said due to ‘public interest’ they couldn’t remove some of the content. He added: ‘They presumably think I am a sex offender. ‘I think this is outrageous. It allows me to be made out to be a sex offender. Even when one of them is deleted, more pop up. I’ve had tons removed but they will be at it again a week later.
‘It’s like social media is responsible for it as well. They are allowing these things to remain up there.’ He explained that he has taken evidence into the police station but said ‘they don’t take it very seriously.’ A Met Police spokesperson said: ‘[We] can confirm officers from Hammersmith and Fulham are investigating allegations of malicious communications via social media. ‘The allegations were reported by the male victim on 25 Feb 2018. A number of inquiries are currently ongoing. ‘The victim has been updated as to the status of the investigation and advised that allegations of this nature can take time to investigate. There have been no arrests.’
Google also confirmed that they were in contact with Blakely and that they have taken action on some of the content. A Facebook spokesperson said: ‘There is no place for bullying or harassment on Facebook, which is why we have spent over a decade introducing new features and tools to keep people safe and have a positive experience. ‘We encourage Mr Blakely to continue reporting any incidents of trolling so we can remove content which violate our standards, as we have done previously.’ Despite Blakely claiming he had reported the online abuse to LiveLeak, a spokesperson said they could not find any reports in their system, but have subsequently removed one of the offending videos. A Twitter spokesperson said they were unable to comment on individual accounts.

This is why the UK doesn't need to follow the USSA's bad example
I can understand why there are so many dumbassed Brits; after all, 'Murkans are largely British descendants. They want a public registry. Well, this story is a good reason not to have one.
Oh, note he only got 12 years for this crime.

Vigilante killer punched man to death while he was hooked up to a DIALYSIS machine in his own home because he wrongly thought he was a paedophile

A killer punched a man to death while he was hooked up to a dialysis machine because he mistakenly thought the victim was a paedophile.
Adam Goodridge, 30, turned up at Paul Sandford's home in Maltby, South Yorkshire and made the accusation, which police said was 'unfounded', a court heard.
He threatened to Kill Mr Sandford, 38, unless he move out of the area within a week but then immediately began his attack - despite him using the dialysis machine.
Adam Goodridge, 30, was today jailed for 12 years for manslaughter. Goodridge attacked Paul Sandford because he thought he was a paedophile
Goodridge even photographed the injuries he caused then told Mr Sandford's friends to tell paramedics that he had fallen in the bath before leaving his home.
Mr Sandford was admitted to hospital with a bleed on the brain, a fractured eye socket and severe cuts and bruising to his face and hands on October 30. He died in hospital five days later.
Goodridge was found guilty on Wednesday of manslaughter and today jailed for 12 years at Sheffield Crown Court.
Detective Inspector Simon Palmer, Senior Investigating Officer at South Yorkshire Police, said: 'I am pleased with today's sentence, and that Goodridge will be incarcerated for a very long time for the brutal attack he carried out on Mr Sandford.
'On sentencing, the Judge made a comment regarding Goodridges' motive relating to his mistaken belief regarding Mr Sandford's character, however I'd like to reiterate that allegations made in relation to this were unfounded.
'Mr Sandford was a well-liked man and due to illness he was incredibly vulnerable. Goodridge took advantage of that, and robbed his friends and family of the time they had left with him.
'I hope that today's sentence can go some way towards helping them find closure and start to rebuild their lives.'

Stinson Hunter, bloody British vigi-wanker, has officially played his swan song
![]() |
Kieren "Stinson Hunter" Parsons is getting ready to "grow his hair out and get a job" |
This guy is a complete con. He's had us all (donators included) fooled. Had he of been truthful, maybe people wouldn't have a reason to question what he's been doing. I looked up to the guy a lot. I mean how do we know what we've donated has actually gone to him seeing his kid when his kid was already at home with him? The guy has a past that isn't exactly squeaky clean not to mention calling people names through his twitter and instagram but not so brave to say anything on facebook when he was called out. Anyone who questioned where the money went (donators or not) got removed, comments deleted or blocked but will happily sit on twitter belittling folk and making idol threats like they're something he scraped off the bottom of his shoe. Even some of his own family members have commented about their concerns about his habits and lies. All this talk of 30 convictions in 6 years and only 10 of them were put behind bars says a lot when the rest have been living ruined lives because of his mistakes. What has he really done for us parents that we haven't done for our own kids? From the day and hour our kids were born, it's been "us" protecting them, not him. I have lost all respect for the kid! He needs to sort his life out and get a job. Both him and her. We've all had our struggles and more severe cases than this. He thinks he's worse off than the rest of the world. Begging is not the answer for his next hit!
After I posted the last article about Kieren "Stinson Hunter" Parsons, my message board was flooded with a couple dozen threatening or derogatory "anonymous" comments from either Parsons or one of his lackeys. Of course, I couldn't give two shits about this bloody wanker and he can go choke on an Irish banger for all I care (obviously he isn't going to cross the pond to beat my ass so I'm not worried about censoring my disdain for this piece of shit.)
There are other similar comments so I'll just summarize what I've read from the flood of comments. Apparently, ol' Stimpy collected upwards of $30k from a kickstarter campaign (more specifically, 32,661 British Pounds, the equivalent of $51,044 USD) under the guise of making an independent documentary and yet a couple of weeks ago, he was begging for yet more money from the losers who watch his online shenanigans, this time under the guise of needing to see his son. People started asking legitimate questions about where all this money disappeared to and why he's asking for yet more money to see a kid that lives with him, and he was being very evasive, even downright nasty to those supporters asking questions. After all, if the equivalent of $50,000 or so isn't enough to make a film and have enough to make ends meet, then obviously something is amiss.
Apparently, after the barrage of questions from soon-to-be EX-supporters of this shady, unsavory online vigi-scum, Stimpy is packing up his toys and crying home to mommy. This bum is going to get a real job, presumably as a dirt farmer or night janitor. All I can say is good riddance to bad rubbish.

Stinson Hunter plans to "vanish" after online dispute over cash
15:22, 14 JULY 2015
BY SAM DIMMER
Nuneaton paedophile-hunter now says he plans to move away from stings and setups
Stinson Hunter says he plans to “vanish” and have some time to himself after he was abused online for asking for money.
The 33-year-old paedophile hunter from Nuneaton made a desperate plea to his Facebook followers for a small amount of cash this week so he can go to Norfolk and visit his baby son.
And while he did receive enough money to make the trip he was also attacked by some Facebook followers who accused him of sponging.
Hunter, now living in Lancashire, told the Telegraph that the latest online fracas is “the final straw” and he is now planning to take a step back from his work.
“I’ve got something planned, a one-off event, in the future,” he said.
“That’s my swan song. After that I’m going to take some time for myself.
“I’m going to grow my hair, look for a job and just vanish for a bit. That’s the plan.
“That’s where I am. I just want to focus on doing stuff for myself for a bit. My Facebook will still be ticking over but it will change.”
Hunter, whose film won a Bafta earlier this year, drew a mixture of criticism and support from his Facebook followers when he asked for money to go and look after his son after his former partner Kirsty fell ill.
In an emotional post Kirsty then wrote that Hunter was struggling financially.
She wrote: “He puts on an incredibly brave face for the public and I don’t know how, I couldn’t manage to do it, behind that incredibly brave front is a broken man right now, he can barely even afford food let alone bills or to even see his own son.
“He battles with depression every single day and it saddens me so much that I can’t even help with it, I don’t want to see his tears or hear him cry anymore.
“All he needed was that little extra support from the public when he really needed it most, all he wanted was to see his little boy and to help me out.”
Hunter then wrote later on: “For over six years I have been trapping paedophiles and have achieved over 30 convictions.
“Not once have I ever been paid for this.
“The nature of my work and my profile make it virtually impossible to get a regular job, yes that was my decision but I stand by it.”
Speaking to the Telegraph he added: “I’m not on benefits. I could claim Job Seekers Allowance but I don’t – I choose not to.
“If people saw my outgoings they would be surprised. I do my best to manage each month.
“But I’m sitting here right now selling my stuff off on eBay so I’m not going to be homeless in three months' time.
“I went to London recently and that 10-minute speech cost £300.
“I’m going to seal myself off now and take some time to get my life in order. That’s the main thing, to have time for me and my son.”
Hunter said that he did manage to raise £200 to pay for train tickets and a small amount more which he plans to put towards getting his driving licence and a car.
On Facebook he wrote that he was keen to go into education and go “beyond the stings and setups”.
“Nothing lasts forever,” he added.
As an aside, a guy who hit Stimpy with a car got his sentenced reduced. Hell, the guy should have gotten a medal for running over this POS.

Internet trolls warned: Expect arrest if you abuse people online...but only in the UK
Well cheerio and all that rot! The British are apparently trying to crack down on internet harassment. Now, I'm not British, nor can I say what the lsaws are there. I personally hope this extends to those so-called "paedo-hunters."

Internet trolls warned: Expect arrest if you abuse people online
Wednesday 26 Feb 2014 8:10 pm
Internet trolls were today warned there was no hiding place from justice.
They were told to expect arrest if they threatened or abused people on social media sites.
Culture secretary Maria Miller said there was a ‘straightforward principle’ that rules which applied offline would also be applied online.
‘The internet isn’t a ‘‘Second Life’’,’ she said, ‘It isn’t something where different rules apply, where different behaviour is acceptable – it isn’t the wild west.’
Addressing the Oxford Media Convention, she said: ‘Whether it is images of child abuse or terrorist material we will use the full force of the law, national and international, to take down that content and pursue the perpetrators.
‘If you vilely insulted, or threatened to attack someone in person on the street, you do so expecting to be arrested and charged. The same already applies on social media.’
Referring to the recent jailing of a man and a woman who subjected feminist campaigner Caroline Criado-Perez to online abuse, Ms Miller said ‘being online does not mean the law doesn’t apply to you’. She added: ‘Last year, 2,000 people were prosecuted for sending electronic communications that were grossly offensive or menacing.’
Ms Miller told the audience ‘the veil of anonymity the internet provides may be valuable but does not give licence to insult, cheat or exploit.’
Taking aim at illegal downloads, she added: ‘If you wanted to see a film or listen to a CD, you wouldn’t sneak into a shop and steal it off the shelf, so why do the online equivalent and download it illegally?
‘It’s about good citizenship… as well as what’s legal and what’s not.’

Anonymous UK member cleared of rape allegation
One one hand I feel for the guy, on the other hand, Anonymous has been quick to label people pedophiles. Perhaps this guy will stay true to his word and fight false allegations in the future. Maybe he can help clean up the cesspool that is Anonymous

‘I want to rebuild my life’ says Weston activist cleared of protest camp rape
Simon Angear, Content Editor
Monday, May 13, 2013
9.56 AM
A POLITICAL activist who says his life has been ‘shattered’ by false rape claims is returning to Weston to begin a fight for new laws to protect people from malicious allegations.
"The worst thing was knowing that I would either be going to prison as an innocent man, or walking away with my life in ruins. "
Malcolm Blackman made national headlines two weeks ago when he went on trial at the Old Bailey accused of raping a woman at the Occupy London demonstration at St Paul’s Cathedral.
Jurors have since cleared the 46-year-old of any wrong-doing – and now Mr Blackman says he wants to return home ‘with his head up high’ and campaign to save others from having their lives ‘ruined’ in the same way.
Formal ‘not guilty’ verdicts were recorded on both charges against Mr Blackman on May 3, and now he faces the task of piecing together a life which has been on hold for more than a year.
Mr Blackman – the co-founder of activist movement Anonymous UK – told the Mercury: “The whole situation has been horrendous.
"We live in a make-believe world where people are innocent until proven guilty - but I had to prove my innocence.
"
“All year, people have been told I am a rapist. Life will never be the same again.
“There will always be that stigma attached to me. There will always be people who are wondering ‘I wonder if he just got away with it’.
“The worst thing was knowing that I would either be going to prison as an innocent man, or walking away with my life in ruins.
“Completely vindicated as I was, it’s not going to change the fact that my life is shattered.”
Key video evidence and witness testimonies put Mr Blackman elsewhere at the time the woman – who cannot be named – claimed she was attacked.
And he now wants the law to do more to protect the identity of people accused of rape until their guilt is established.
Mr Blackman said: “We live in a make-believe world where people are innocent until proven guilty - but I had to prove my innocence.
“I expected British justice to do its thing. The CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) should have looked at this and seen it had no legs. They said they have to be sympathetic to the victim – but now I am the victim.
“I am 100 per cent behind anonymity for alleged victims of rape, as real victims must not be deterred from coming forward.
“But what I am going to be stamping my feet about and campaigning for is the need for anonymity for both parties.
“The law needs to be reviewed as a matter of urgency. The accused gets his life torn apart. It has cost me my career, my home.
“I had to go and see everyone in my life that matters to me. I told them ‘the first thing I need to say is I didn’t do it – the second is, you’d better sit down’.
“It’s a very difficult thing to try to explain something which is so alien to you.
“Even my sisters, like everyone else, just didn’t know. They were forced to question their faith in me.
“I’ve not slept, I’ve not eaten. I’ve lived with untold pressure. I have lost a lot of faith in humanity. I now have only a very few friends. And I have an absolute fear of women – I don’t intend to date ever again.”
The first step will be for Mr Blackman to return home to the town where he has lived for more than 20 years, and is well known for his work in the security industry and for his street act as a magician.
He said: “What I really want to do is get back to Weston and rebuild my life. I want to be able to walk around with my head up high. I want people to know the truth.
“I consider myself a decent citizen of Weston, and an asset to the town. I love it as home.
“I want to sit on the beach and watch the sun go down. Little things like that mean a lot now.
“But I will have to take it one day at a time because there have been no plans for me. How can you make plans when your life is in limbo?”

“The law needs to be reviewed as a matter of urgency. The accused gets his life torn apart. It has cost me my career, my home.
“I had to go and see everyone in my life that matters to me. I told them ‘the first thing I need to say is I didn’t do it – the second is, you’d better sit down’.
“It’s a very difficult thing to try to explain something which is so alien to you.
“Even my sisters, like everyone else, just didn’t know. They were forced to question their faith in me.
“I’ve not slept, I’ve not eaten. I’ve lived with untold pressure. I have lost a lot of faith in humanity. I now have only a very few friends. And I have an absolute fear of women – I don’t intend to date ever again.”
The first step will be for Mr Blackman to return home to the town where he has lived for more than 20 years, and is well known for his work in the security industry and for his street act as a magician.
He said: “What I really want to do is get back to Weston and rebuild my life. I want to be able to walk around with my head up high. I want people to know the truth.
“I consider myself a decent citizen of Weston, and an asset to the town. I love it as home.
“I want to sit on the beach and watch the sun go down. Little things like that mean a lot now.
“But I will have to take it one day at a time because there have been no plans for me. How can you make plans when your life is in limbo?”

Leave justice to us, police warn vigilante paedophile hunters using Facebook to lure suspects before confronting them
So now we have a group of Perverted-Justice copycats in bloody ol' England, botching investigations just like they did here in America. The Facebook group for these trolls have already been removed. Now if only it was that easy to remove the same websites in the USA!

Leave justice to us, police warn vigilante paedophile hunters using Facebook to lure suspects before confronting them
- 'Letzgo Hunting' members pose as underage girls for chats with predators
- They set up meetings, film suspects and hand evidence to police
- Group releases dramatic footage of members confronting 'suspect'
- Police have warned them to leave justice to them

A band of parents have formed a vigilante group to snare suspected paedophiles.
Their tactics have led to six arrests – but police forces have reacted with anger, warning that they could be compromising existing investigations.
The parents have set up dozens of profiles on dating and social networking websites, pretending to be girls aged 12 to 15.

Making a break: The suspect appears to start running once the group leader confronts him
The parents, some of whom are trained in the martial arts of jujitsu and karate, film the resulting confrontations, in which they demand an explanation from the men and warn them to expect to be arrested.
They then upload the footage on to their website and Facebook page. Their most recent video, created on Sunday, shows a suspect flee as a vigilante gives chase in a park on the outskirts of Leicester.
Chase: When the man ran away, a vigilante ran after at him berating him for his alleged crimes
Surveillance: The group uses a hidden camera to film all its encounters with targets

Social media: The group posts videos of its sting operations on sites such as Facebook and Twitter, pictured
The group – three men and a woman assisted by 13 ‘helpers’ – admit to being vigilantes but say they are not a lynch mob and never threaten violence.
But Leicestershire Police warned that such ‘naming and shaming’ tactics threatened ‘chances of success in court’, potentially blocking justice.
Child welfare charity the NSPCC also urged the group to step back and said tracking down paedophiles must be done ‘by proper authorities’.
And Warwickshire Police and the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre added to warnings that vigilantes could harm investigations.
Letzgo Hunting’s leader, who calls himself Scumm Buster, told the Daily Mail he works in the security industry, but declined to reveal the backgrounds of the others. He said the group had 84 online profiles, using images of young-looking adult female friends with their consent. Sometimes these were airbrushed to remove signs of ageing such as wrinkles and ‘make the girls look obviously young’.
Arrests: Seven alleged predators have been apprehended over the past few weeks thanks to the group
Controversial: Police have warned that the vigilantes could be undermining legitimate law enforcement
He said the explicit nature of some of the men’s online messages was ‘shocking’, but explained it was crucial to actually meet each suspect because that is what proves their ‘intent’ to break the law under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 by inciting a child to participate in a sexual act.
The men are asked to bring condoms and alcohol to the meetings and sometimes the female member of the vigilante group is used as ‘bait’ to ensure the men step out of their cars.
So far, they have carried out nine ‘stings’, resulting in seven confrontations. The other two men drove away after becoming suspicious.
As a result, Leicestershire Police have arrested three men. One further arrest has been made by West Midlands Police, one by Warwickshire Police and another yesterday by Nottinghamshire Police.
Scumm Buster said the group, aged 20 to 50 and from the Hinckley area of Leicestershire, are ‘close friends’ and openly film their suspects.
The footage is immediately passed to the police and is removed from the group’s website when an arrest is made. They are currently monitoring up to 50 men online, he added.

Paperboy is innocent victim of a vigilante
These are the stories AZU gets off on. Surely they will pleasure themselves to the pick of this kid beaten up by a deranged vigilante.


Dominic has received no payment for this story.
Paperboy is innocent victim of a
vigilante
Shocking ... Dominic Scullion was left with a broken jaw after attack
A BATTERED paperboy told last night how a vigilante spat in his face without warning before smashing his jaw apart in a savage street assault.
Defenceless Dominic Scullion was on his round when Paul Caulfield, 41, suddenly attacked him over claims the 16-year-old had raped a schoolgirl.
The crazed brute floored Dominic with a single punch and repeatedly beat him about the head as he lay unconscious on the ground.
Caulfield was later jailed for eight months, while Dominic — who has always protested his own innocence — was never charged over the sex attack allegations.
Reliving his ordeal, the schoolboy said: “I was walking away from a house after delivering a paper and had my headphones on listening to music.
“I got a tap on my back and thought it was one of my friends. I turned round and it was a middle-aged guy. He spat in my face.
“Next thing I remember is opening my eyes and thinking I’d had a dream. I was confused and wondered where I was.”
Frantic pals had raced to Dominic’s home in Erskine, Renfrewshire, to tell his family he had been injured.
His shocked relatives thought he had been mown down by a CAR when they saw him lying blood-soaked at the side of the road.
Nightmare ... Dominic Scullion is still haunted by battering
Dominic, now 17, added: “I opened my eyes and saw my dad. He told me it would be OK. Then I blacked out again.”
Witnesses claimed they begged Caulfield to stop as he laid into the teenager.
A source close to the family revealed: “An elderly couple said they saw this guy walking down and tapping Dominic on the shoulder. He turned and the guy spat in his face, then punched him.
“He then continuously attacked him while he was unconscious. He was shouting about the rape allegations. The old man was blasting his horn and people came outside, so the guy eventually stopped.”
Dominic was rushed to the Royal Alexandra Hospital, in Paisley, for surgery.
He said: “My jaw was broken in three places. The bit between my nose and my mouth was also split and needing stitches.
“I needed surgery to have three titanium strips inserted in my jaw — and I was on a liquid diet for six weeks.”
Cops swooped on Caulfield shortly after the horror beating.
He was caged last week but is now understood to be appealing his eight-month sentence. Caulfield had appeared at Paisley Sheriff Court to admit repeatedly punching the schoolboy on the head and assaulting him to his severe injury in June.
Dominic said: “I am frightened to go out now. I’m always looking over my shoulder.
“My attacker is in prison but I am still scared of what other people might do.
“I feel like it’s turned my life upside down. It’s going to take me a long time to get over it.”
Dominic’s nightmare began in March when the 15-year-old girl accused him of raping her on a busy walkway close to a community farm. The teenager was quizzed by cops and gave a DNA sample before being released pending further inquiries.
He insists he is innocent, claiming the girl had a crush on him and that he knocked back her invitations to meet.
Caulfield struck three months after the rape claims emerged.
And Dominic revealed his life has been torn apart, despite receiving a letter from prosecutors telling him he faced no charges.
He said: “I was scared in case people thought the girl was telling the truth — but I didn’t do anything wrong. I think this has all been to do with me rejecting her. I couldn’t focus on my exams. I’m still finding school hard and I’m getting counselling.
“I hope when people hear my name they don’t think ‘He’s the guy who was accused of rape’.”
Last night, the mother of the 15-year-old girl said: “We have kept a dignified silence through this whole thing.
“My daughter has not dropped any charges and never will.”
Strathclyde Police last night confirmed there had been no charges over the rape allegations.

Facebook given 72 hours to remove paedophile monitoring page
This Facebook group is a wannabe PJ group who is posting info meant only for LE. Unlike in the USA, England's registry has limitations for a reason.

Facebook given 72 hours to remove paedophile monitoring page
A convicted sex offender has won a High Court order for the removal of a Facebook page set up to monitor paedophiles in Northern Ireland.
A judge ruled some content amounted to prima facie harassment of the man and risked infringing his human rights.
Facebook was given 72 hours to take down the page 'Keeping our kids safe from predators'.
The page has been taken down, but two with similar names then appeared on Friday afternoon.
Mr Justice McCloskey said: "Society has dealt with the plaintiff in accordance with the rule of law."
"He has been punished by incarceration and he is subject to substantial daily restrictions on his lifestyle."
'Degrading treatment'
The man, who cannot be identified, was given a six year jail sentence for a string of child sex offences committed more than two decades ago.
The man, known only as XY, issued proceedings against the social networking site after discovering his photograph and threatening comments posted on the page.
He claimed harassment, misuse of private information, and a breach of his right to privacy and freedom from inhuman or degrading treatment.
The court heard that he fears being attacked or burnt out of his home.
In a statement he described the published material as an attempt to vilify and stir up hatred against him.
Details of some of the comments posted about him since his case against Facebook Ireland Ltd gained publicity had been disclosed earlier in court.
One said: "So the man, or I mean mess of a human being, that's taken this page to court, he must want to be the head paedophile and rule over all sex offenders. He will be like a god to them."
Another stated: "Put him down like an animal."
Interim relief
It was also set out how he is suffering from ill health.
Although Facebook has already removed his photo and comments made about the man, his legal team insisted the page should be shut down down.
They are also seeking disclosure of the identity of those who set up and ran it.
Lawyers for Facebook argued that it was neither necessary nor proportionate to remove a page used by 4,000 people.
However, balancing the competing rights to privacy and freedom of expression, Mr Justice McCloskey ruled in favour of the plaintiff.
He pointed out that only interim relief was being sought at this stage, and that granting it would cause minimal disruption to Facebook.
"I conclude that the pendulum of the rule of law swings in the plaintiff's favour," the judge said.
"The order of the court will be that the removal from facebook.com of the page entitled 'Keeping our kids safe from predators'... is to be effected within 72 hours."
