Steven MacMillan, who sent sexual messages to a 13-year-old girl, has appealed against his sentence of 20 months.

A sick Scots dentist who bombarded a teenage girl with depraved sexual messages has launched an appeal against the length of his sentence.

Steven MacMillan, from Dalkeith in Midlothian, was jailed for 20 months and placed on the sex offenders' register for 10 years after contacting a 13-year-old from Newcastle on social media and sending her disturbing messages from February to March 2023.

The 53-year-old struck up a conversation with the child, who told him her age at the start.

The chat turned highly sexual and she sent him an image of herself performing a sex act. MacMillan started sending her a string of sickening voice notes on February 27 and 28.

In one message he told her: "When daddy asks you to do something you better do it or there will be trouble." And in another message he added: "Good girls do what they are told."

MacMillan's sexualised chats with the girl continued until March 6 when her mother discovered the horrifying messages.

She got in touch with an online paedophile vigilante group, who confronted him at his then home in Strathaven, Lanarkshire, and police were called in.

MacMillan appeared at Hamilton Sheriff Court and admitted communicating indecently with the youngster - who has had to receive counselling.

It has now been confirmed MacMillan has lodged an appeal against the length of his sentence.

Depute fiscal Scott O'Connor told the court at the time: "The complainer's mother confiscated her phone and observed numerous Snapchat notifications from various users and noted a user called Steve and enquired what she had been discussing.

"The complainer confirmed she had been involved in sexual communication and the mother opened the account and noted the voice notes on the device.

"She was concerned for the complainer and contacted an online child safety team who later attended the accused's home where police were also contacted and arrested the accused."

Eight voice notes of MacMillan making vile sexual remarks towards the girl were played to the court.

Alan Gravelle, defending, said: "Plainly the custodial threshold has been crossed standing the age of the victim and the graphic content of the communication.

"Many aspects of this case are difficult to rationalise and in many respects it remains inexplicable that he should fall into this two-week period of offending when he had the stability of lifestyle including marriage and children, a successful academic career that then turned into a successful professional career and the financial stability that comes with it."

Sheriff Dunipace told MacMillan: "The content of the communication was graphic and disturbing and they could leave no-one who heard them in any doubt of your intention when engaging with this child and hearing those conversations was harrowing and chilling.

"This was not a one-off but a part of a premeditated and sustained course of conduct where you sought to deprive her of her innocence for your depraved gratification."

The sheriff noted MacMillan had a "duty to protect" youngsters and jail was the only option to deter others from similar offending.

MacMillan, who qualified as a dentist in 1995, has been suspended from working in the profession by regulators since March 2023 and will remain suspended until at least December 31 this year.

Erotic roleplay with a willing teenager is not "deprivation of innocence", whatever way you spin it. The idea you can control a teenage girl by telling her you are "daddy", is wishful thinking on the part of antis who get hard over the innocence trope.

There needs to be fines and confiscation of property to deter this vigilante activity. Hit them where it hurts.

A man whose dramatic arrest by a self-styled paedophile hunter group sparked a full-blown riot on a quiet Hampshire housing estate has pleaded guilty to a child sex offence.

Lee Comley, 38, from Middle Park Way, Leigh Park in Havant, was arrested on July 1 after being confronted by members of a vigilante group who livestreamed the encounter on Facebook in front of hundreds of furious viewers.

The chaos that followed saw riot police deployed as violent disorder erupted on the once-peaceful Leigh Park estate – with fences torn down, missiles hurled at police, and even an 80-year-old blind man hospitalised after a brick was thrown through his window.

Appearing via video link from HMP Winchester, Comley admitted at Portsmouth Crown Court to a single charge of attempting to incite a 14-year-old child into sexual activity.

In reality, the 'child' was a decoy from the group calling itself the Child Online Safety Team.

Within hours, more than a hundred people – some reportedly travelling from as far as Paulsgrove in Portsmouth – flooded the Leigh Park estate. [...]

Online ‘Pedophile Hunters’ Are Growing More Violent — and Going Viral

With the rise of loosely moderated social media platforms, a fringe vigilante movement is experiencing a dangerous evolution.

By Aric Toler and Neil Bedi

Produced by Aliza Aufrichtig, Joyce Ho, Natalie Reneau and Rumsey Taylor

March 26, 2025

A vigilante phenomenon has been playing out on the open web for almost a decade: Content creators in the U.S. pose as minors on dating apps and websites, then target the people who message them. Many of these vigilantes, commonly known as pedophile hunters, were inspired by “To Catch a Predator,” a popular television series that ran until 2007. The “hunters” have copied the show’s format, exposing their targets on social media.

But in the past two years, a growing number have gone a step further and violently attacked the targets in their videos, a New York Times analysis has found.

In one of the most brutal cases, a masked man who referred to himself online as “realjuujika” (real name:Ahmad Al-Azzam)allegedly broke into the home of a 73-year-old man in Pennsylvania last year, then tied him up and beat him with a hammer.

In a video, realjuujika stands over the bloodied man and claims he caught him trying to solicit sex from a 15-year-old boy. He robs the man and films his credit cards, sharing the information with his thousands of followers.

Realjuujika, at one point, turns to the man and says, “You will probably die tonight.” When the footage was streamed online weeks later, viewers cheered the violence.

The man was hospitalized, according to police reports, and needed surgery to stop the bleeding in his brain. The attack was part of a small, but disturbing trend that has spread on social media and attracted millions of viewers.

What a lot of these perpetrators share in common prior criminality: battery, assault, drug possession. In their view, it’s a way to put MAPs in their place, and redeem themselves.

An isolated loner received instant retribution for attempting to meet up with a child for sex when he was attacked by a 'vigilante' with a hammer.

James McGee contacted a 15-year-old decoy on Grinder before travelling to a remote woodland near Chester-le-Street where he was met by an armed vigilante, Teesside Crown Court heard.

The 53-year-old was released on bail following the attempt to engage in sexual activity in July last year before he was arrested again when he was spotted performing a sex act in bushes near a busy road.

Qanon-Nut Rory Banks sentenced to 60 years for killing a Registered Person.

Banks sentenced for murder: Influenced by conspiracy theories, Wheatland man gets 60 years to life

Nov. 25—Rory Banks, the 44-year-old man who was recently convicted for the murder of 55-year-old Ralph Mendez in Wheatland, was sentenced Tuesday by Yuba County Judge Benjamin Wirtschafter to 60 years to life for his actions on the night of May 12, 2021.

Banks, who was heavily influenced by conspiracy theories such as QAnon, killed Mendez and had plans to kill others on California's sex-offender registry. Banks was convicted of the burglary and murder of Mendez by a Yuba County jury on Oct. 28.

At around 12:45 a.m. on May 12, 2021, the Wheatland Police Department received a 911 call related to a shooting that had taken place in the 200 block of G Street in Wheatland, the Appeal previously reported. Mendez was found by law enforcement officers with a gunshot wound. Lifesaving measures were performed but he was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the department.

Just another example of Pizzagate/Qanon/Proud Boy influenced violence towards pedophiles.

Another story in which the teen daughter is referred to disgustingly as property that was "seized" after this vermin killed the boyfriend she was trying to hide from him.

Of course, the American public celebrate and throw money at these morons.

https://www.the-express.com/news/us-new ... ter-abuser

An Arkansas father, Aaron Spencer, 37, has garnered the support of hundreds of thousands after he confessed to shooting and killing his teenage daughter's alleged abuser. The incident occurred after his daughter mysteriously vanished from her bed one night.

[...]

Upon checking on her, he initially thought she was asleep in her room. However, upon closer inspection, he discovered a stuffed animal wrapped in her hoodie, placed as a decoy in her bed to give the illusion that she was safe.

[...]

Approximately 10 miles east of town, Aaron noticed what looked like Fosler's white Ford F-150. His daughter was sitting in the passenger seat, based on a statement he provided to sheriff's deputies.

Aaron executed a U-turn and chased the vehicle, flashing his lights and honking his horn, the affidavit stated. At the next intersection, he slammed into the rear of the truck, sending it careening off the roadway.

Within moments, Fosler lay lifeless in a ditch, riddled with multiple bullet wounds.

Aaron informed authorities that after confronting the truck, his daughter leaped from the passenger seat and tried to flee, but Fosler seized her.

Predator Poachers loser Alex Rosen is apparently an anti-vax nut and harassed doctor on behalf of Joe Rogan

Surprise! ANOTHER wannabe vigilante is a right wing conspiracy nut. So apparently Alex Rosen, the fat loser from Predator Poachers who sent threatening messages to me after I exposed him as a fraud back in 2020, is a far right loon who recently took it upon himself to harass Dr. Peter Hotez, the man who helped develop the COVID vaccine, which saved millions of lives.

I've written about this before-- so many of these so-called "pedo hunter" groups are aligned with extreme right-wing conspiracies.

A common political background of “pedo hunters”.
