A SICK anti-migrant protester who rallied to “protect children” has been revealed as a paedophile.
Anthony Styles, 59, livestreamed demonstrations outside asylum hotels for his YouTube channel AJ Audits.

It came after the arrest of a Epping hotel migrant for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl.
But it has now emerged that Styles is a convicted paedophile who abused a girl aged under 14, The Times reports.
The fiend, who was locked up for four-and-a-half years in 2017, abused the victim after making her sit on his knee.
He was also earlier convicted of assaulting a 17-year-old girl and possessing 307 indecent images of children.
Styles was put on the sex offenders register for life and handed an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
Although his particularly restrictions have not been made public, the orders usually ban or limit contact with children.
He had joined a number of social media groups where rallies were organised – including one named For the Children.
Styles used a fake identity so his fellow protesters were unaware of his convictions when he joined them at marches.
The paedo, who uses a wheelchair because of a degenerative illness similar to multiple sclerosis, filmed himself at a number of demonstrations.
But activists from Stand Up To Racism spotted his name printed on a fake press pass he made for himself at a protest last month and started digging.
After information about his dark past spread online, he was booted out of the groups.
Styles’ youngest victim was targeted in 1993 while the paedo was living in Blackpool.
She said in a victim impact statement that she was left psychologically affected by the assault.
Sentencing, Judge Robert Altham said: “The victim was in the habit of coming back to the flats after school. It is on one of those occasions, when she was in the defendant’s sole company in her school uniform, sitting on his knee, as the defendant watched TV.
“He only ceased from this conduct when his partner was coming in, at which stage he got up.
“Nothing was said at the time, but she subsequently raised it with her, and he made an admission of sorts. At the time, he passed it off as accidental touching.
“But in his trial, Styles denied the events ever took place. She has described that this incident has had a significant effect on her.
“There is, properly stated, an abuse of trust in this case. This is a case where the family trusted the care of this little girl to the defendant. He was trusted to be alone with her.”
