Family Played “To Catch A Predator” With A Guy Trying To Seduce Their Teenage Daughter

A father in Oklahoma took matters into his own hands after learning a 33-year-old man was allegedly chatting up his teen daughter online — by luring the creep to the family home and assaulting him in the back yard.

The father — who did not want to be identified — told KOCO that he learned about the inappropriate online sexual relationship between one of his three daughters and the man by using an app called Family Time and then posed as the 15-year-old as part of the amateur sting at his Del City home.

“So the moment he entered my yard, that point in time, I had to do what was right as a father,” the father told the station. “You walked into the wrong back yard. That’s all there is to it.”

Maj. Jody Suit of the Del City Police Department said the family pretended to be the young girl and invited the suspect to her home under the guise of having sex in a tent in the back yard.

A home surveillance video of the June 22 ambush shows the family rush the alleged perv and tackle him to the ground. They bound the man and held him until police arrived a short time later.

“As he walked in and looked into the tent, my first nephew jumped out, my cousin jumped out after that and I came with the zip ties,” the father said. “He admitted immediately that he was there to have sex with my daughter.”

The suspect — who was not identified because he had yet to be formally charged — faces counts of unlawful communication by use of technology and using a phone and social media to communicate with a minor, police said.

Police said the father would not be charged.

Suit said the suspect and the girl exchanged racy photos and discussed various sexual acts.

“He had planned everything with her,” the father told the station. “He was ready, and we were, too.”
