05:59he was counter surveilling he was watching the skate park from where we were going to stage
06:04he was waiting for us we didn't even have a chance to get set up

06:12credit my guys being able to adapt overcome pivot and most important nobody got hurt
06:19roof safe and the bad guys in jail
06:22it turns out the stoner was waiting for us and had been in the skate park well before teams got
06:29into position
06:29but since major flowers scattered his deployment the stoner thought nothing of the cars approaching the lot
06:36i mean i made a stupid decision
06:39okay
06:39she gave me her snapchat and she said she was 15 and i should have just known
06:43okay
06:44what was your plan for coming here today
06:47uh we were going to meet and hang out
06:50okay
06:52was there any talk about having sex or engaging in sexual activity
06:56there was
06:56okay
06:58my guess is he's got drugs on him
07:01i smell marijuana in here
07:02he was planning on bringing giving it to her
07:04it would be distribution
07:07any talk about uh drugs alcohol
07:10uh i told her i had alcohol at my house
07:13but okay
07:13that's about all we talked about
07:17did you bring a marijuana pen weed pen uh it's a bait pen
07:22delta eight or delta nine the legal stuff you can get at the smoke shops
07:26gotcha
07:27were you going to provide it to her to get her high
07:30that was just going to be for me
07:31okay
07:32so you didn't have any plans to get her high or intoxicated
07:35that wasn't the plan
07:37if she wanted to drink would you let her drink
07:38i mean she whoever i was texting asked me if i got drinks
07:42and i said i have drinks at my house
07:43okay
07:44were you going to take her back to your house
07:45that was the plan
07:46okay
07:50how many times did she tell you that she was 15
07:53that you remember
07:55i think just once
07:56just once
07:57i even said i said that's that's the case waiting to happen
08:00and i should have listened to myself then
08:01okay
08:02so you know that's wrong
08:04okay
08:05uh did she send you any pictures
08:08um
08:09she sent me a picture of what she was wearing
08:11okay
08:12i love like sweats
08:13did you send her any pictures
08:15yes
08:15any pictures involving nudity
08:16yes
08:17okay
08:17what did you send her
08:18uh dick pic
08:19dick pic
08:20okay
08:20how many
08:21uh just one
08:23just one
08:24all right
08:26well
08:28you know where we go from here
08:30unfortunately
08:31yeah
08:33he did confess to everything
08:34i knew what he did was wrong
08:36i knew that he shouldn't have been out here
08:38but still showed up
08:40so we're gonna go to jail and
08:42go on to the next one
08:47a lot of times when acms move quickly it's because they're keyboard cowboys and they want images
08:53they want material because they want to gratify themselves without ever you know risking the chance of an in-person
08:59meet
09:00in this case
09:01in this case he was moving really quickly but he really did want to meet
09:05we see that maybe less often but um in those cases you know we certainly want to jump on those
09:11we don't want to lose him
09:12because if he's that driven now and summer says no to him does a real girl say yes to him
09:18i think the operation is going well
09:20but we do not have time to rest on our laurels because as i'm standing here talking to you we
09:25have calls from acms coming in so
09:27we'll let ccso take care of this guy and we're going to move on to the next thing
09:33hi it's summer um so i've been wanting to like get into modeling for forever
09:38and i've seen all the shows and it seems like like can they just like cut your hair whenever they
09:44want
09:45like it seems like they can like just before one we walk or whatever and like that would just suck
09:49because like i've been growing out so long and it would just be such a bummer
09:52uh like i don't know if that's legit or not if that's what it takes like i'll do whatever it
09:56takes
09:57but i just feel like yeah that would suck a lot
10:01the predation of young aspiring models online is pervasive social profiles and stories serve as catnip
10:09for experienced predators all of whom share a similar methodology offering validation
10:16presenting opportunity and then waiting for the right time to strike
10:25max decoy summer has been contacted by an older man online
10:33true to form he's flattering and presents an opportunity to the young aspiring model
10:41he claims to have connections in the industry and to be willing to give her career a head start
10:48but while the agent doesn't seem to have an issue with summer being a 15 year old girl
10:53he shows his experience asking for pictures to prove she's real
10:58i know do this one last thing and then i'll truly know you're perfect for the modeling jobs i can
11:04get you and i know i'll be willing to put all my effort and money into making you a huge
11:09model along
11:10the lines of livy dunn that's disgusting he says very healthy like the good little girl you are
11:18matt quickly changes into the agent's requested outfit
11:23a selfie two fingers tongue sticking out
11:34okay he's typing will the agent be convinced that summer is real okay he said let me see one in
11:41the
11:41mirror where you're turned around with your back showing and then i'll be happy
11:56he said very nice he bought it but even the two pictures aren't enough for an experienced predator like the
12:03agent
12:04he requests another this time with her reddit profile name basically what he's doing is trying
12:10to make sure that the person he's talking to is the same person he's seeing in the photos
12:18somebody who is not planning to break the law is not going to go through all this trust building
12:25the agent is finally convinced that summer is a real girl and now he's all in his proposition
12:32come pick up 15 year old summer from her home in oklahoma take her back to texas stay with him
12:38and call him daddy but first the agent wants a video call phone's on silent please we're doing this call
12:48with the door open
12:57hey hi daddy how are you
13:01i'm good how are you pretty good
13:04what's going on not much just hanging out what did you decide to wear well i decided to go with
13:11the little tube top it's pink and white stripes thank you you look very beautiful you want to make a
13:19very good model i think it would be really cool to like like do photos for like dancewear and stuff
13:28i just got pointe shoes oh my gosh i'm so excited about it i think it would be so cool
13:32to do modeling for
13:33that that's great that's awesome um do you have your pointe shoes near you right now yeah i can grab
13:40them i'll show you how you fit
13:44see prop this up the agent has asked to see summer's new shoes but our experience tells us that it's
13:51more
13:51than a simple request it's another test a chance to see more of her room a chance to check her
13:58story's
13:59consistency and a chance for mac to make a mistake one wrong move of her laptop camera and our cover
14:07is blown these are them they're really painful to wear um like when i'm dancing in them i have to
14:15be
14:15like here i'll keep this here while i'm putting them on i have to be like completely like on my
14:22toes
14:22when i'm dancing in them it oh it hurts quite a lot but i'm getting more used to it i
14:29think so i'll
14:30make sure to bring these what else should i bring
14:36let's just see the color issues first
14:40here i'll see if i can put this on the floor or something somewhere so that you can see me
14:48here we go like in the shoes like this or something see look it's so hard
14:56i always feel like i'm gonna fall i'm still definitely getting used to them
15:01you look great thank you yeah i'm working on it i'll get better at it for sure
15:08yeah you look good at those leggings too your very nice legs thank you
15:15sit down do you have a lot of uh skirts and dresses and stuff
15:20i know i have some i've got i've definitely got a lot of skirts i can definitely send you pictures
15:25you can try one now too if you want to
15:33well i'm kind of stuck in this for the moment
15:37i could try on things later and model them for you if you wanted i'll send you pics
15:44yeah we can do that i'm peeling you can show me a little bit
15:50well you can see my top you can pull that up a little bit
15:58acms will always try and get a miner to remove their clothes but this feels different and it's
16:03likely another test given that mac has two layers of clothes on we decide to submit to his request
16:12okay i think you can see a little bit lower how about that
16:17okay all right i'll pull it down a little bit for you okay you're so greedy
16:24there is that better
16:28thank you daddy
16:30you are an amazing little girl
16:32why are you you know comfortable with me and a couple staying with me too
16:37definitely where am i gonna sleep at your place
16:42you have a big bed
16:47oh sorry one second my mom's calling sorry one second
16:56so creepy so creepy i didn't want to keep doing that but i also was clocking my shadow
17:01oh right over here i'm just gonna search his username
17:11oh
17:11shit i found his username on
17:14a predator list
17:18what what do you mean predator list it's in a subreddit for kids or people who are running away it's
17:24our runaway in order to get on this list a user has to have an interaction
17:32take screenshots have receipts and then send it to a moderator for the runaway subreddit since it's
17:38no secret that this sub is a hot spot for predators because these kids are obviously vulnerable
17:41they want to leave home they have to have proof and i mean there's a ton of names on here
17:47but
17:47specifically his username i would really like to find him because it's very clear especially based on
17:56that subreddit that he is intentionally finding kids that have little parental oversight that are
18:02in vulnerable positions and he is taking advantage of that
18:09the next day the team prepares for the arrival of the agent
18:13a man in his 40s who stalks runaway teens on reddit
18:17his plan for 15 year old summer under the guise of helping her modeling career take her from her
18:24parents drive her back to texas keep her in his home and share a bed for the weekend but then
18:42i'm not sure but i think the agent may have blocked this is on discord yeah
18:49failed to send message message i want to see if he nuked or if he's on discord as another one
18:55actually
18:55can you check discord he nuked every single message on reddit
19:04fuck
19:09blocked on the day the agent was set to come to oklahoma and take summer from her family
19:16he's disappeared now without an id we're stuck
19:22all i want is to id this guy well well i want to get these a couple other guys too
19:28but i really want
19:29to get this guy as a hail mary i check in with the sheriff's office one last time in the
19:35hopes of
19:36something new hey any is there any hit back on that facial recognition
19:46give me the social media please
19:52yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah wait give me more what else you got all right thank you i'm gonna
19:57keep
19:57digging so we have very limited information on the agent we have a face we were trying to pull
20:06things off a t-shirt we have a couple usernames so i sent all of that information over to ccso
20:12and i
20:13said hey could you run this too on your database see if anything pings back and something did okay dropping
20:22it now oh oh that's him look he's saying this is him that was the first picture he sent this
20:31is not
20:32a picture he sent this is just from the video call oh that's him that's absolutely him yeah no exact
20:38same
20:38teeth same nose same ears the way they like fold up a little bit the new matching fifth picture isn't
20:45just another photo it's his driver's license now we have an address a place of work his confirmed name
20:54and much much more finally we can move to press charges lieutenant kate said there's absolutely
21:01enough here to prosecute so i want to package this up minimizing his online presence is a
21:07deflection tactic right if if he has very little about himself online then it's hard to track down
21:12who he is which is what he'd want to be doing if he's doing terrible things online like harming children
21:21we see this a lot there are guys who talk to our decoys and you can tell that they've done
21:27this before they're planning on doing it again yes they're grooming our decoy yes
21:31they're saying i love you but we know that as soon as they get what they want they'll immediately
21:36cut that decoy loose and move on to a new one they'll move on to an actual child they're extremely
21:42hard to get they're well practiced and this is why we exist to catch guys like this
22:07so
22:08you
22:10you
