Citizen vigilantes posing as underage girls began exchanging online messages with a 36-year-old Los Angeles man in July. They say he made graphic sexual advances toward someone he believed was a 14-year-old girl.

The vigilante group, which calls itself the Creep Catchers, confronted the man on July 14 at the Irvine Spectrum Center. They showed him photos they captured of him, shirtless, along with printouts of their online conversations.
