!814 PREDATORS HUNTERS!Ohio Man Arrested in Brookville, PA After Attempting to Meet Who He Believed Was a 15-Year-Old
In a disturbing sting operation over the weekend, a 39-year-old man from Ohio, identified as Sean Huber, was arrested in Brookville, Pennsylvania after allegedly traveling with the intent to meet a 15-year-old minor for inappropriate purposes.
Huber was caught in a coordinated effort by the civilian-led watchdog group 814 Predator Hunters, a team known across Pennsylvania for exposing alleged online predators through undercover operations.
According to the group, Huber had been communicating online with what he believed to be a teenage girl. The “teen” was in fact a decoy operated by members of the 814 Predator Hunters. Huber reportedly made the trip from Ohio to Jefferson County, where he was confronted and apprehended upon arrival.
Video footage of the sting — which has since circulated on social media — shows Huber being approached by members of the group and confronted about his intentions. Brookville Police were called to the scene and took Huber into custody without incident.
Authorities have not yet disclosed specific charges, but sources tell XMN News that charges related to unlawful contact with a minor, attempted corruption of minors, and potentially luring a child are expected to be filed.
814 Predator Hunters has been credited with exposing dozens of alleged predators across the region. While their tactics continue to raise debate around vigilante justice and legal boundaries, law enforcement has acknowledged the group’s work in bringing potential offenders into the spotlight.
