A vigilante group of paedophile hunters have shared footage of a man, who they claim is a council social worker, turning up to meet a 15-year-old boy for sex.
The group, who work under the name The Hunted One, filmed their confrontation with 38-year-old James Hope, who is said to be from Faversham, Kent.
On its website, The Hunted One also claims that James worked with vulnerable children within social services at Kent County Council.
One of the videos, which was posted to YouTube, shows Hope arriving and the group confronting him.

They walk up to James, who's sitting on a wall, and say: "You're going to be arrested tonight, you know what for. What are you doing here? You're here to meet a child, aren't you? We know who you are. You work with children, don't you?"
James appears to nods his head in agreement.
He then says: "He's 16, isn't he?" The guy behind the camera then says: "No, he's not. He told you how old he was, didn't he?"
A second video shows James being arrested and taken away by officers.
A Kent Police spokesperson told Kent Online that Hope was arrested on Sunday on suspicion of grooming and that he has since been released on bail.
