P3do-Hunters Group Busts New York Anchor Driving Three Hours to Meet With 15-Year-Old Boy

"You're into thick, chubbier guys?"

"I want to cuddle."

Sounds legit!

A New York group that exposes child-sex predators online busted what appears to be a local TV anchor who was allegedly at the scene to meet with what he thought was a 15-year-old boy.

The group, which goes by 607 Predator Hunters, posted a video to YouTube that appears to show Zach Wheeler, an anchor at NBC affiliate WETM-TV, at a store in an attempt to meet with the underaged boy.

When confronted by the filming crew, Wheeler initially attempts to deny that he was at the location to meet or have sex with the teenager, instead insisting multiple times he was only there to "talk" to the kid and warn him to get "off of these apps."

He just wanted to "talk" to the kid about sexuality to help him.

OK Groomer.

But when the group doesn't appear to buy Wheeler's excuse, he pivots to a more combative tone.

"Why do you guys do this to gay and lesbian people," he asks, with the group insisting they attempt to catch all pedophiles.

OK Groomer.

"Are you guys here to ruin people's lives," Wheeler asks at another point, noting that the group was going to "ruin my whole entire life" and he is "going to lose my job and everything." At another point, Wheeler argues that the group is engaging in "cancel culture" because of his job.

LOL. I guess the police are engaged in "Cancel Culture" too.

"I did show up... I showed up to tell him not to go off with older guys."

Yeah whenever I've driven three hours to meet a girl it was just to tell her "You shouldn't hook up with highway hobos."

The "Let's Make a Deal" part beginning at about the halfway point -- where he offers to use his own show to "find more predators" if they let him go -- is a cringe volcano.

And what does he mean "find more predators"? Isn't he claiming to not be a predator?

That's what you call a slip.
