Vitaly has been on something of a roll with his ‘predator hunter’ series on YouTube of late, having last week caught a producer for 1996’s Space Jam meeting a 15-year-old girl at a pizza restaurant.

This time, he’s got 3 buddies to pose as ‘underage’ kids and coax a man into meeting them in a public bathroom. Here’s how that played out when Vitaly crashed the party:

What’s really frightening is how easily and frequently Vitaly (and other YouTubers doing the same thing) manage to find these creeps. At this point, if you’re a sexual predator in Los Angeles or any other major city, you have to think it’s very likely that you’re talking to a decoy online and are about to be exposed to the world if you agree to meet them. But then I guess their perversions are so strong that they’re willing to take the risk.

Amazingly, despite putting this work in, Vitaly is later told by the LAPD that there’s no point arresting the paedophiles that he captures on camera:

Well, I don’t know true that all is, but it’s not very reassuring to hear. Not that Vitaly is doing all this nonce-hunting to make the world a better place, of course. All he cares about is the clout and the spectacle and the ad revenue. But even still, it’s good to see there’s at least some kind of deterrent out there for the predators of LA.
