| Predator hunter confronts suspected pedophile at his home and gets him to admit on camera to heinous child abuse |

| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] … abuse - before the monster flees inside and does the unthinkable. A suspected pedophile killed himself moments after admitting to watching heinous child porn to a predator hunter who confronted him at his home. Donald Letcher, 60, was seen on camera describing his viewing habits in graphic detail to Predator Poachers' Alex Rosen. Rosen coaxed him into admitting his crimes after appearing at his home in Canova, South Dakota. He then called the cops, but before Letcher could be detained, he went back into his house and shot himself in the head. 'The cop turns his back on him, Letcher goes in the home and we hear a pop,' Rosen explained to talk show host Breanna Morello. The pedophile hunter said he first connected with Letcher via messaging app Telegram, where the suspect was 'acting pretty sexual' and requesting nude photos of what he believed was a 12-year-old girl. Rosen explained he got Letcher to admit to viewing child pornography involving children as young as infant age in a bid to secure a conviction, as the state's law was hazy around solicitation of porn from a fictional child. He was unaware that Letcher had previously been convicted of two counts of sexually molesting his girlfriend’s nine-year-old daughter in Bridgewater in 1995. However, the charges were overturned due to a technicality and Letcher was exonerated a year later. It was not his only brush with the law however and in 2022, Letcher was convicted of the hit-and-run of a six-year-old girl. Letcher was given just 25 days in jail for the offense which occurred while he was drunk behind the wheel. Rosen posted his interaction with the creep on X, where the video has been viewed more than 18 million times. He added that although he was talking to a decoy, Letcher was still 'being a predator' by soliciting explicit photos from what he thought was a minor. 'If he's getting off on infants being tortured then screw him,' Rosen said. Rosen's group is just one of many who engage in anti-pedophile activism and stings such as the one against Letcher. Although such vigilantism is not illegal, activists can be charged if they break the law in the course of their actions. In 2021, Illinois pedophile hunter Kyle Swanson was indicted on felony charges of unlawful restraint and obstructing justice over his stings. The charges were ultimately dropped, but the case highlights the potential legal issues such activists can run into. |

| #1 Cell phone cameras and the internet have proliferated this great evil. I don’t think we can estimate the size of the population of active creeps of this flavor and come up with a strategy to jail all of them until January. I suspect that the extent of it will horrify us. |
