Paul Kerr was tied to a lamppost
Pervert Paul Kerr is unmasked as the convicted sex offender targeted and lashed to a lamppost in west Belfast this week.
Kerr was tied to a lamppost and had a banner hung round his neck claiming he was a pervert after it was alleged he was caught exposing and pleasuring himself in front of young children who were playing in the Bog Meadows in west Belfast on last Thursday evening
Residents were then invited onto the street to let Kerr know he is not welcome in the area.
It’s understood Sinn Fein representatives contacted police who attended the scene.
Pictures of the local shaming have been circulating on social media in the hope that the deviant child flasher will never be able to return to live among the people of West Belfast.
The majority of comments were commending the work of the local vigilantes, with many being shocked that Kerr had escaped unscathed.
A witness at the on street shaming commented: “He was dragged to a lamppost and tied, telling people he is a pervert.
“Think of the trauma he has caused his victims over the years, calling them over to look at him while he’s exposing himself. He got off lightly as far as I’m concerned.”
One angry resident commented “I really don’t think a community as a whole should have confronted him like that and tied his legs up. There’s other ways of dealing with the matter instead of public embarrassment in his community and on Facebook.
“I agree that what he did was inappropriate but I think how these people dealt with it is wrong on a certain level.”
Local residents will be angered to know that just last week 41-year-old Kerr was rumoured to be living in a house in Gartree Place in Andersonstown, a community which has over 15 schools in close proximity.
Members of the local community have come forward to say they have spotted the creep sitting outside St Oliver Plunkett primary school around the time the young children finish school.
Having been placed on the sex offenders register Kerr is banned from contact with children under 17 and forbidden from going to public places where children might gather, specifically schools and play parks.
By breaching the terms of his licence this week category two sex offender Kerr could find himself back in prison.
Within weeks of the original banning order Kerr was caught lurking near a children’s play park in Co. Down.
He is one half of an evil duo. Twin brother Steven has a string of similar sex convictions stretching back 20 years.He was most recently jailed in January 2012 for terrorising children on Belfast’s Black Mountain. He subjected a 16-year-old boy to his lewd trouser dropping behaviour on multiple occasions over a one year period.
He exposed himself to the young male who cannot be named for legal reasons and said “Show me your bum”, when the young male replied “You’re sick”, Kerr calmly told him, “This is what I like to do.” His twin brother Steven also has a similar list of offences to his name.
At one stage a court ordered that the pair should not be allowed to spend time in each other’s company, such was the risk of them offending.
They had previously been ordered out of west Belfast by the IRA.
Last night police confirmed they were investigating the incident.
“The PSNI is responsible for law enforcement and does not tolerate any type of vigilante activity,” the statement read.

“It is vital that anyone with information on any illegal activity contacts their neighbourhood police officers, their local police station or indeed a community representative who can pass the information to police so that the matter can be fully investigated by police officers and anyone who may have acted illegally can be dealt with accordingly.”
