Pulitzer Prize Winner Busted in Sting (14 YO Boy)

Reporter David Hasemyer was caught on video after he invited a 14 year old boy to his house for "naked Jacuzzi". It was a sting by a local predator catcher -- this confrontation was livestreamed and within 15 minutes of going live, people had already figured out the old perv was this award winning reporter. The creep ipanicked when he noticed a camera and put a towel over his head to hide himself. Within minutes of the sting ending, the pedo quickly deleted his Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.

This catcher works the San Diego area and also caught a Sony VP about 2 months ago. The Sony guy got lit up in the gaming community and then fired. The video was on Youtube, but will be pulled off soon, edited and uploaded again in a few days. Pretty sure this news will be hitting social media later today.

Yes, there is an off-putting dimension to these tactics, but the people that they're catching (people who"knew" they were meeting a child) are scum and society has a united interest in at best keeping them away from children. It's the best way to do that by "tagging" then in these amateur operations? Idk maybe! At least it's moving the ball?

Ever notice these Vigilantes never invite anyone over to THEIR house? Because they don't want YOU to know where THEY live because THEY want to hide. We had one of these vigilante guys in Oklahoma. His address got posted all over online and he moved real quick. He and his wife used to go to the local gay park and film guys thru tinted windows and post it on Youtube to "clean up the park"---and (coincidently) OUTED married men and strangers. Trust me--they did NOT want people they were outing to know where they lived. Word was their neighbors ran them out their neighborhood more than the gays.

There is a reason these Vigilantes use FAKE names. They are scared shitless of the people whose life they are ruining decided to show up at Vigilantes house to even a score. When you are at Walmart and get shot because a Vigilante wants to make a buck on Youtube--you better believe you are going to be a millionaire because Walmart is complicit. You have a right to be a Pedo Hunter. You do NOT have a right to bring innocent people into your "raid". Walmart has been lucky so far. One nut will shut this whole "sting" operation someday.

I could care less if the Predators are catching pedophiles. I do care they do it in public areas putting ME or anyone else in danger of getting killed. The guy who did this in Oklahoma once complained that he could not get insurance of any kind--even liability insurance on his car---because of his "vigilantism" job.

How many of you are likely to invite someone you know to be 14 to join you naked in a hot tub? How many of you would go to a hotel room expecting to have sex with a 13-year-old?!

Having sex with someone and finding out after-the-fact they’re under 18 is one thing. However, I have zero sympathy for anyone who’s exposed for trying to have sex with a minor. LEGALLY, they should only be penalized for things they’ve actually done, so nobody should be thrown in jail for meeting up with someone who turns out to be of legal age. However, that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to be humiliated!!!

How long are you going to be there? You need permission from their parents, too, and you're not going until you get it. All it takes is a strict parent to snoop through their phone or laptop, ask the right questions, or put 2 and 2 together and realize something isn't adding up.

But if unaware, how are they liable? Also, similar to upthread, when I was a 13, guys my age never did anything for me, always preferred older types, 25-30ish. The first guy to drill me was the air conditioning man, hot blonde beefy about 30yo. I just stood there watching him work the whole time, he was friendly conversational, he knew I was into him. The next day, he returned to check if the air unit was working properly, I invited him inside to see for himself, my grandmother was away all afternoon, I was alone, boom! He was patient and attentive, and gave it me good, it was like the 4th of July. It only happened once, but the memory lasted a lifetime. He didn't make me do anything I did not want to do, he broke me in, I cherish the experience. I feel bad for others that seem tragic. I consider it a life experience, and just move on...

For all of the folks on here saying "pedo hunters are bad, they are as sick as the people they target", tell me that a group that stopped a man who invited an 11 year old girl and a 6 year old to run away from home and come to his house did it for clout? A pedo who asked that the 6 year old wear something sexy, and leave a note for her mother saying she ran away to California and to break her tablet to hide his conversations. The guy who had a phone full of CP - pics of naked 7 year olds. The creep lives in a state where the police won't even come to the scene of a sting unless they initiate the investigation and allow pedos to walk away, so they went to his house and confronted him there because he was actively telling little girls to run away to his house.

This group exposes these monsters and turns over their evidence to local LE and HOPE all that will get the perp put where he belongs. So many seem stuck on the gay pedos who get caught there is a whole other level of depravity out there. I greatly admire the people who are out protecting kids.

An unsupervised curious child will get in all sorts of trouble when left alone to their own devices. Children have a right to feel and be safe, but Parents need to do their job too. Stop being lazy Parents, keep an eye on your kids, do not expect other folks to do your job as a parent. You, the Parent, has the legal obligation. Supervision, Chaperones, Eagle Eyes in the animal world, animals avidly watch over their young,, be a PARENT first and maintain your children. Stop watching soap operas and screwing around in bar rooms, go home and interact with your kids, keep an eye on them, monitor their behavior, have family time,, be a Parent. A decent home life does wonders for children, provide a decent safe home life, and most of this crop would not be happening. Parents are responsible for their children until age 18. Be a Parent, and stop expecting others to do your job as a Parent.

So did he pretend to be 14 as well? No teenager wants an ugly old man and if he thinks otherwise, he's a fool. And if he did pretend to be a teenager, what was the plan when the boy when the boy would come over and inevitably discover he was anything but? I expect intelligence from a Pulitzer Prize winner but this man seems to be very stupid.

by Anonymousreply 107February 27, 2022 2:15 PM

R107 both are harmful in different ways. And the idea that parents shouldn't rely on others to help watch their kids is ludicrous. Family, friends, and communities have done so for millennia. It's the modern notion that a child can only depend on their parents that has turned parents and their kids into neurotic freaks.

Some of these Predator Hunters are not going to do well in a civil court. Not only is it entrapment (for their own financial benefit) but they have no right to endanger shoppers in a public store. They can take the information to the POLICE. Turning Pedophiles into a MONEY MAKING ENTERPRISE is something many judges have not responded well to---probably because judges know the law..Like I said--our local "vigilante" got arrested (and so did his accomplice/wife).

I tried to give this guy the benefit of the doubt because he seemed against it at first and I felt like he might've backed off if the decoy wasn't so persistent, but the point is that he still kept sending the messages and engaging in conversation. If someone tells you they are underage, the right thing to do is block them immediately. Don't send any messages, not even "but you're too young to be here." Just block them. It's best for everyone.

Our local news did a story with a lawyer who gave advice about how to deal with these Predator Hunters. His number one rule was NEVER EVER talk to the predator hunters. If they have what they claim to have on you, let these vigilantes go to the police. If the vigilantes used entrapment tactics the cops are going to arrest YOU not them., especially if you talked to them you then become a participant. Some predator hunters have "option$$" for not exposing you. (there are cases out there posted online)..There is a reason they are hiding their identities. Take your chances with the cops....LINK....These Predator Hunters are vile...To be clear--these vigilantes are doing this for MONEY...Go see for yourself.

Paedophilia is by definition sexual attraction to prepubescent children. If they are older it's called ephebophilia, which may or may not be illegal depending on the place, but there is a definite difference.

R130 He wanted to hear from the boy that it's okay so he won't have to feel guilt. Also to establish himself as a trustworthy adult so the boy will feel he cares about him and his well being. It is a form of grooming.

R48 yes, there are drugs used to extinguish libido/sex drive. I had one patient, borderline IQ, a great guy. Lived with his family and had a part time job. Yet emotionally he was stuck at age 14 (he was 25 at the time. He would hang out near the high school and got busted for trying to hug a girl. He and his family were desperate to keep him out of a locked residential program.

I put him on high dose of Paxil, no decrease in sex drive. So then I put him in Depo Provera shots every 3 months. Killed his sex drive. We had to have him followed by cardiology, but for him and his family, the benefits outweighed the risks.

There are a number of other medications that can kill libido.

12 to 17 is legally a child even if they are physically maturing into an adult. I don't see what's so hard about finding an 18 to 22 year old who looks young. Once you find out a kid is underage that should nix any interest.

by Anonymousreply 133March 3, 2022 4:27 PM

Most states the age of consent is 16. Most countries is 16. I agree that 14-year-olds have sexual feelings and seek out mature things but adults must be responsible and use smart judgment. Even in states with 16 to 17 as age of consent, the parents can and often will retaliate legally.

Pedophile and ephebephile are different but both are damaging. The issue is not about adults finding a teen attractive. Anyone with two eyes can recognize an attractive teenager. But having a persistent attraction to only teens that they ignore other adults ephebephilia. Most adults aren't ephebephiles because most are attracted to other adults not just teenagers.

There was this girl who I used to hang out with in AA. We were BFFs for about 5 years. Our friendship ended not just because she screwed my man behind my back, but primarily, because she ended up becoming this AWFUL person.

Anyhow , her husband was stinged by a YT Predator Catcher. Coincidentally, he was also attempting to hook up with a 14 year old boy in Riverside, CA.

A few years later, another fellow AA-er, who was just the nicest guy ever, was also filmed attempting to hook up with a 15 year old at some hotel in Indian Wells or Palm Springs. Can’t remember exactly which city, but it was one of the 2 for sure. This guy lived or still lives in Sherman Oaks, with his wonderful wife who I’m sure was crushed.

Gross x 100.

R135. Paxil of all SSRIs is known to kill libido. If Paxil does nothing then likely no other SSRI would accomplish that.

And by high dose he was on Paxil 80 mg q day. That would be akin to Lexapro 50 mg a day.

Predator catcher in CA caught a creep who turned out to be a San Diego deputy sheriff today. The sheriff had been talking to 2 underaged decoys for several months. After flaking on the catcher several times, the cop finally came to the meeting spot, parked his car and must have gotten nervous because he texted "I can't do this". Luckily the catcher had spotted him from a distance and came over with his camera and confronted the cop. After mumbling some lies and denying that he had been trying to hook up with a child, the cop sped off.

This catcher uses facial recognition software on his catches and matched the creep to some online photos and made a match... COP! His followers are alerting all local news organizations.

For all the folks who find fault with catchers and their practices, this week one catcher caught two creeps who came for 13 year-old girls: one is a registered sex offender who drove 200 miles, got a hotel room, brought 20 condoms with him, wine, and Glad wrap so he could do oral sex on her.

The other guy drove 2 hours, booked a hotel room and brought 18 condoms, telling the child that he hoped to use them all of them on her. Both were apprehended in these rooms and police called.

Seems like there's some people on here who think that it's not a big deal to "introduce" young boys into the clan, and that these pedo chasers should look the other way when a gay man is caught trying to hook up with a 12-13-14-15 year old. They are stuck in their memories of being a young gay and wish that an older man had been there to "help" him. When these pedo cases come to light, they get angry at the chasers for shedding light on the epidemic and may hinder their chances of having their own chance at getting a juicy young boy of their own to "mentor". Personally, I think too many are too busy thinking with their dicks and are too selfish to give a shit about an underaged kids mind.
