No, it wasn't. 'Vigilantism' implies that this guy is some sort of hero acting on his own against some sort of villain.yes, and it also varies by countryyes, pretty certain it varies by State in the usa
not sure what the legal age of consent is in Germany
but thats really not the issue here
this was not justice
it was, as others put it, vigilantism
To call him a vigilante is to give his actions a stamp of approval and to declare he was wrong only in acting outside the authority of the State.
He wasn't merely "acting outside of the authority of the state".
The STATE itself would have no authority to punish this guy because according to my information in Germany the age of consent is 14.
Now, personally, I think that age of consent is way too low, but that's the land of THAT land.
This guy is a criminal.
Not a hero.
