一名男子被發現死於家中，幾天前，他在一段戀童癖獵手拍攝的“誘捕”視頻中被當成目標。
The body of Nigel Sheratt, 47, was found at a house in Cannock, Staffordshire, on Sunday, just two days after he was stopped by members of vigilante group Soul Survivors while in his car.
上週日，在斯塔福德郡坎諾克的一所房子裡，發現了47歲的奈傑爾·謝拉特的屍體。就在兩天前，他在車裡被治安維持會Soul Survivors成員攔下。
The group said they had posed as a 14-year-old girl in Facebook chats with Mr Sheratt and claimed he had tried to groom her.

Mr Sheratt denied any wrongdoing throughout the video, but eventually admitted talking to the 'girl' on Facebook, claiming he did not know she was 14.
謝拉特在整個視頻中否認有任何不當行為，但最終承認在Facebook上與這名“女孩”交談過，並稱自己不知道她才14歲。
While presenting him with the print out of messages, one of the hunters said to him: 'It's all there. It says "Hi, I'm Ellie, I'm 14, I have nothing to do; I'm bored."
在向他展示打印出來的信息時，其中一個獵人對他說：“證據都在這。紙上寫著：‘嗨，我是艾莉，我14歲了，我沒事可做；我很無聊。’”
'We are happy for you to sit there and deny it because we have it all there in proof.'
“我們不怕你否認這件事，因為我們都有證據。”
Another member of the group asked if he was 'embarrassed' by the situation and added: 'You are not embarrassed that you spoke to a 14-year-old girl? You make me sick.'
該組織的另一名成員問他是否對這種情況感到“尷尬”，並補充說：“你和一個14歲的女孩聊天都不感到尷尬嗎？你真讓我噁心。”

在一開始否認與“艾莉”有任何接觸後，謝拉特告訴他們，他確實和她聊過天，但他“以為她是成年女性”。
He added: 'I've done nothing wrong'.
他補充說：“我沒有做錯任何事。”
