Perverted Justice owner Xavier Von Erck confronted

(dag)
1 decade 7 years 5 months 1 week ago

From YouTube: The vigilante group Perverted Justice gets paid hundreds of thousands of dollars by Dateline NBC To Catch a Predator to lure men to sting houses for the purposes of capturing them on video for television show material. NBC faces multiple lawsuits on the stings.

In this clip, television reporter Byron Harris confronts the leader of Perverted Justice, Xavier Von Erck (his actual name is Phillip John Eide), about the highly questionable tactics used by the group. He becomes very defensive and insults the award-winning, 35-year veteran investigative reporter from WFAA News 8 of Dallas, Texas.

"It's easy to see how Perverted Justice resembles a game to Von Erck. Intentionally enigmatic himself, he demands utter transparency from predators and Perverted Justice members, like a junior-high-school kid playing D&D who always wants to be the dungeon master so he can control every aspect of the game. He guards his power closely, requiring members to give him their entire Internet history (all screen names, all pages joined) and going to war with 'stupid' people who dare to criticize Perverted Justice." -Rolling Stone (Issue 1032)
