Over the past three years, Predator Poachers, a Texas-based group founded in 2020 by now-23-year-old Alex Rosen aimed at preventing child sexual abuse, has identified approximately 500 online child predators, resulting in nearly 300 arrests in 43 states.

Many cases are still pending, and there have been convictions in more than half of the country—including a decades-long prison sentence for a former Virginia firefighter announced on Sept. 20 by the Department of Justice.
