Channel 4 is to air a controversial profile of a man who heads a team posing as underage girls in an effort to expose paedophiles.

The people behind Stinson Hunter: Paedophile Hunter claim their actions result in more convictions of paedophiles for online offences than racked up many UK police forces.

Mr Hunter will be shown on the film posing as young girls on online chatrooms in an effort to expose those who approach them online and even attempt to meet them after learning they are underage.

The programme makers also say they hope the film will highlight the lack of resources available to some forces to monitor online grooming.

Speaking to The Guardian, Mr Hunter, who changed his name from Keiron Parsons, said: "I want them to focus on what I'm saying and what's going on and what your kids are doing online – given the current climate with Rotherham. 

I want change, I want the government to do something."

He said he hoped the documentary would lead to more funding for the police.
