• Mark Barrett
    Jan 17 2026
    "Ah! Oh my god, you scared the crap outa' me!" Barrett's reaction to Chris coming out. Mark Barrett is a predator caught in the Blount County, Alabama investigation. He is mostly known for his large ears, muscular build, and passive aggressive attitude during his arrest and interview. Barrett was born in August of 1985. In a joint operation between the Blount County Sheriff's office and the Genesee County, Michigan G.H.O.S.T. Team, Barrett, under the alias of "Alex," had a sexually charged conversation with the decoy who pretended to be a fifteen-year-old girl. Barrett was initially skeptical of meeting, fearing that the decoy was actually a set-up to rob him, but eventually calmed his nerves after the decoy sent him a picture of herself. Barrett showed up to the sting house carrying bottles of Coca-Cola and a bottle of Apple Crown Royal whisky. He asked the decoy if she wanted her drink mixed, to which she responded that she wants "a heavy pour," like any normal fifteen-year-old girl would ask for. Then, Chris appeared from around the corner while Barrett was getting ice for the drink, startling him. Sponsored by: TruthFinder.com.

  • Feras Klisli
    Jan 12 2026
    Feras Mahmoud Klisli is an alleged predator caught in a Polk County, Florida investigation. At the time of the sting, Klisli had been living in Orlando, Florida with his wife, Heba, and their adult disabled daughter. Klisli had been communicating with a decoy posing as a fourteen-year-old virgin girl. Described as "cryptic" by detectives, Klisli said in the chat that he wanted to kiss the girl all over her body and wanted sex. Klisli acknowledged the decoy's age at least five times, saying, "I hope I can meet with you, but you are 14 and that's dangerous." When Klisli arrived at the sting house, he was taken into custody immediately after getting out of his car, instead of the typical scenario where the alleged predator walks into the house. Deputies took him to the ground in the middle of the road while Klisli repeatedly asked what was happening. Detectives called the number they had for Klisli, to verify that the person they were talking to was the man that showed up, and it appeared that Klisli had the decoy's name saved as "14.” During the interview with Chris, Klisli claimed that he did not know that the decoy was underage, instead claiming that he thought she was nineteen. After further questioning, Klisli admitted that he did know that the decoy said she was fourteen, but claimed that he thought she was a liar. Sponsored by: TruthFinder.com.
