Alex Rosen, the founder of the Houston-based vigilante organization Predator Poachers, has released a controversial new video implicating the chair of Maryland’s Democrat LGBTQ Diversity Council in an alleged attempt to meet with a minor. The video, which has garnered significant attention, showcases Rosen’s latest sting operation targeting individuals attempting to engage in inappropriate activities with minors.

Rosen announced the sting on social media platform X, writing, “We just busted the head of the LGBTQ Dems of Maryland going after a 14-year-old.” The statement accompanied a video in which Rosen confronts Michael Knaapen, the chair of the Maryland Democratic Party’s LGBTQ Diversity Council. According to Rosen, Knaapen believed he was meeting a 14-year-old boy, who was actually a decoy set up by Predator Poachers.

In regards to police getting involved, Rosen wrote:

In regards to the lack of police involvement in this, please note:

We tried to turn this in back in November, and they didn’t want to do anything with it

⁃Though he admitted to sending d pics, in Maryland the law states you have to be a cop or a real kid for it to be a charge

⁃He admitted to previously possessing CP but did not have any in his possession currently

⁃We are still going to turn all of this over to the cops, but calling them to the scene would have done nothing.

Journalist Andy Ngo further reported on the bust and reported, “A leader in the Maryland Democratic Party was allegedly caught in a child s—x predator sting. Michael Knaapen, chair of the Maryland Dem’s LGBTQ Diversity Council, allegedly talked about wanting to r—pe a 14-year-old.”

Rosen further pointed out that Knaapen was invited to Vice President Kamala Harris’ house.

The organization, known for its controversial tactics, uses decoys to pose as minors in online interactions to catch potential predators. In this instance, Knaapen allegedly exchanged sexually explicit messages with the decoy, unaware that it was part of a sting operation.

Rosen’s group, Predator Poachers, has built a reputation for using both male and female decoys in their operations, aiming to expose individuals seeking to exploit minors. These stings often involve setting up meetings with the decoys, during which Rosen and his team confront the suspects and film the interactions for online exposure.

The implications of this latest sting are significant, not only for the individuals involved but also for the organizations they represent. As the chair of the Maryland Democratic Party’s LGBTQ Diversity Council, Knaapen held a position of trust and influence, making the allegations particularly damaging.

This incident raises important questions about the methods used by vigilante groups like Predator Poachers. While their goal of protecting minors from exploitation is widely supported, the legality and ethics of their tactics are often debated. Critics argue that such operations can lead to entrapment and undermine due process, while supporters claim they fill a critical gap in law enforcement’s ability to address online predators.

As the video continues to circulate, the Maryland Democratic Party and its LGBTQ Diversity Council face increased scrutiny. The fallout from these allegations will likely prompt internal reviews and calls for greater accountability and vetting within organizations tasked with protecting vulnerable communities.

In a time when the safety of minors online remains a paramount concern, the actions of groups like Predator Poachers and the individuals they expose continue to spark intense public debate.
