      How was this guy dealt with by internet vigilantes?

      He was arrested by the local authorities then bolted from the country once released on bail.

      It is not uncustomary for authorities to release names of those arrested.

      Do you want everywhere to change their processes so that your paedophile friends can remain in the shadows?

        Sweet lord the Brazilian tourists are out in force on this thread.

        They found him in a hotel known for sex workers, in a district known for sex work, with an 11 and 12 year old girl.

        What was he doing, tutoring them?

        He fled the country to escape consequences and I think we’re all safer knowing his name and face.

        Then what would you call this:

        An image of his passport, including his data and photo, has been posted to social media after details of his case came to light.

        And yes, obviously everybody who thinks people have a right to due process must be a pedophile.

      Yes. Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law is a fundamental principle for good reason. For example, we don’t actually know if anything of what we’ve read about him is actually true.
