Staffordshire Police
The complainant has requested information about child sexual exploitation offences dealt with by Staffordshire Police, including the names of any paedophile hunter groups involved in incidents which resulted in charges. Staffordshire Police disclosed some information and it confirmed that a paedophile hunter group had been involved in two incidents which resulted in criminal charges. However, it said that it did not hold information on the identity of the paedophile hunter group or groups in question. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, Staffordshire Police does not hold the requested information and therefore that its handling of the request complied with the requirements of section 1(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires no steps as a result of this decision.FOI 1: Complaint not upheld
