There are two things in this world that I don't believe can be justified, ever. Those two things are pedophilia and non-consensual sodomy (I can barely justify consensual sodomy in my mind, but I can hardly consider two consenting adults enjoying each other to be wrong).
That being said, I think vigilante justice is acceptable when the standing justice system fails, but not before that. These people let their emotions get the better of them and what they did was, while understandable to the utmost, completely the wrong way to go about things. Let him go to prison and spend the next hoever many years in solitary confinement or getting the shit beat out of him every day, multiple times per day. Leave the forced sodomy up to the convicts, folks...
Edit: Also, how do you explain to your child, "Well, it was wrong, so Mommy raped the bad man with a big stick"
