Anti-Paedophile Campaign

The paper began a much criticised campaign to name and shame alleged paedophiles in 2000 following the abduction and murder of Sarah Payne. The campaign aggravated unrest on housing estates in Southampton and Portsmouth, and led to the harrassment of many innocent people due to mistaken identity. In one instance, a female paediatrician was attacked and subsequently driven from her home.
