There’s no denying there was intent to commit an illegal sex act on a minor based of the footage captured by YouTube channel People v. Preds. In the eight-minute clip, George Cacioppo can be seen writing from the user name “Hosting BJ 4U” to who he believed to be a fifteen-year-old boy. It all actuality, it was an adult from People v. Preds that does this regularly to expose random pedophiles.

More on the story below, via CNET:

“According to a Google Drive link posted in the YouTube video’s description, Cacioppo allegedly spoke with a person who said he was 15 years old on Grindr, the social networking app for gay, bi, trans and queer people. The two exchanged pictures and discussed sex acts, according to screenshots of the conversation. Cacioppo allegedly told the decoy that his name was “Jeff” and provided his address. The decoy said he would take an Uber to his location, and Cacioppo was allegedly waiting outside.”

Sony released a statement on Sunday addressing the matter, writing, “We are aware of the situation and the employee in question has been terminated from employment.”
