January 12, 2026 Feras Klisli
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.

January 05, 2026 Stosh Gizinski
Stosh Gizinski is a predator caught in a Genesee County, Michigan investigation. He is notable for claiming that he only came to the sting house to look for his long-lost missing sister. At the time of the sting, Gizinski had been living in Lapeer, Michigan. He had been working as a roofer and has had various licensing and business issues in the past. He also had two daughters that were fourteen and eighteen-years-old at the time of the sting. Gizinski claimed that his sister, Rachel, went missing in Jackson, Michigan. On October 18, 2023, Gizinski had begun communicating with a decoy posing as a fifteen-year-old girl. Initially, Gizinski asked for a "5-10 min quickie." Described as a "fast mover" by Chris, Gizinski repeatedly asked the decoy if she was ready to meet because he had limited time away from work. After the decoy told him that she was fifteen, Gizinski responded, "Ok I can come now or I have to go back to work." Gizinski arrived to the sting house, which was decorated with pictures of Jerry Hetherington, Donnie Vaughn, and various
warning signs. After a brief conversation with the decoy, where Gizinski said almost nothing, she left and Chris came out to confront him.

Jordan Gerald Henry is a predator caught in a Genesee County, Michigan
investigation. At the time of the sting, Henry had been married for two

fifteen-year-old girl. In the chat log, Henry asked if he could ejaculate
inside her. The decoy told him that she was on birth control but asked him to just "pull out." Henry responded, "If she's that good, I would want to fuck her all the time. I don't want to pull out of her." Henry inquired as to the price for the teenager's services, but after being told that it would be $150 he managed to barter her down to $80. Henry eventually found the house while still talking to the decoy on the phone. The decoy tried to make an excuse that her phone battery was low so that she could exit the room, but Henry started following her and asking if he could walk with her. That’s
when Chris came out to confront Henry.
