In Tuesday’s episode of a “Catching Predators” series streamed on Kick.com, Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, along with DJ Deorro and YouTuber Bradley Martyn, exposed a man as he was allegedly attempting to pick up someone he thought was 15 years old.
Internet sleuths later said the man in the livestream was a notable Hollywood screenwriter.
Martyn confronted him as he was seated next to the purported minor on the outdoor patio of a restaurant in Los Angeles.
“What’s your name?” the YouTuber demanded.
“Boris. My name is Boris. What’s the problem?” the man responded, after which the female seated next to him got up and moved to the corner of the restaurant.
The conversation continued, with Martyn asking the man if he was aware of the age of the person he was with. Martyn told the man she was his daughter.
“She was 23 on a dating site,” he said.
“Lila, how old are you,” Martyn asked her.
“Fifteen,” she said.
“I’m sorry, she was 23 on a dating site. All we’ve done is talk,” the man said.
He soon admitted that she had told him she was 15. He said they were “just talking and flirting.”
The man eventually left the area but was pursued by the streamers.
Zdorovetskiy fired a blue then pink gunpowder cannon at him, mockingly acting like it was a baby reveal and saying, “So you’re a pedophile trying to meet a 15-year-old — oh s***, I’m sorry it’s not a boy. It’s a girl.”
“I’m not a pedophile,” the man said.
