Father Pretends To Be 11-Year-Old Daughter To Track Online Predator

A father in Argentina took the law into his own hands after he discovered an online predator was communicating with his 11-year-old daughter on WhatsApp. According to Fox News, Walter Rodriguez's daughter told him a 29-year-old man was sending her inappropriate messages and wanted to set up a meeting.

That's when Rodriguez decided to impersonate his daughter on the messaging app and agreed to meet with the man, identified as German Acosta. His original plan was to kill Acosta, who wanted the young girl to come to his home.

“First he wanted to have the date at his house and I told him yes, of course, because I was going to kill him,” Rodriguez told TV channel TB. “He would open the door and I would kill him.”

Eventually, Acosta would decide to arrange the date in Buenos Aires. When Rodriguez showed up, he started beating Acosta leaving him bloodied and bruised by the time police showed up.

The two men both face charges, but neither was detained by police, something that angered Rodriguez. 

“I made my statement before a judge. I told them everything, how it happened, I showed them the screenshots, what he had been sending to my little girl,” Rodríguez said. “I don’t understand why they let him go. A person like this doesn’t deserve to be free.”

Rodriguez faces one charge of battery while Acosta was accused of “online harassment and grooming – the crime of befriending a child to lure them to perform sexual acts,” which carries a sentence of six months to four years in prison.
