Hayley Stark

Hayley Stark is the villain of the horror film Hard Candy. She is a fourteen year old girl who flirts with pedophiles online, luring them into a sense of security before she captures them and tortures them physically and psychologically before forcing them to commit suicide, like an evil version of Chris Henson.

The film focuses on her doing this to a photographer named Jeff who was involved in the disappearance of another girl. Hayley drugs him, ties him down and seemingly castrates him, though it turns out that this was not real and she was doing that for psychological torture. Hayley then knocks Jeff out again with a stun gun, and he awakens standing on a chair with a noose around his neck. Hayley tells him that he must commit suicide to keep his dignity, otherwise she will do it for him and expose his crimes to the public. However, before she gets the chance, a neighbor comes to the door forcing Hayley to go answer it. While she is gone Jeff frees himself, and when she returns he chases her to the roof. There, she holds him off with a gun and threatens to call over Jeff's ex–girlfriend and pretend to have been raped by him if he does not kill himself. Jeff admits that he did not kill the girl himself, but he allowed an accomplice to, and offers to help track that person down. Hayley then reveals that she already made him kill himself, and at that very moment the ex–girlfriend arrives. Jeff then kills himself, on the condition that Hayley will not reveal his crimes to others, which she promises, however as soon as he is dead she revokes that promise.

She is just as bad if not worse than her victims, and doesn't even do what she does for justice but because she is a sick, demented sadist who merely chooses pedophiles as victims because victimizing them is seen as more "acceptable".
