A father who killed himself after being questioned by police over being snared by a 'paedophile hunter' would have been charged with attempting to meet an underage girl for sex, it has emerged. Father-of-one Michael Parkes, 45, of Daventry, Northamptonshire, was confronted and filmed in May last year by Stinson Hunter, who had arranged to meet him after posing as a child online. Hunter - whose real name is Keiren Parsons - has caused controversy by posting the videos of his meetings online, including that of Mr Parkes, and has been criticised by police for his methods.
