An alleged pedophile committed suicide while being confronted by law enforcement.
The incident occurred during the latest undercover sting by Alex Rosen's Predator Poachers team.
Rosen has gained prominence in recent years after he and his team began conducting Chris Hansen-style sting operations on online child-predators. In their operation, Rosen and other members of the Predator Poachers team pose as minors on social media in an effort to stop sexual predators in their tracks. Rosen is then recorded confronting the alleged predators in public, which typically end with law enforcement arriving on scene to apprehend the alleged perpetrator.
The Predator Poachers frontman announced alleged predator Donald Letcher had committed suicide after law enforcement arrived on scene during his team's undercover sting in a Tuesday X post.
Footage of the incident, filmed by Rosen's team, shows Letcher admitting to watching child abuse material.
"Before they showed up, he admitted to viewing child p--- as low as infants, which he described in disturbing detail," Rosen wrote. "The cop made a phone call, at which time he ran back into his house, locked the door, and offed himself." BREAKING: A pedophiIe k*lled himself tonight during a live catch as police were making contact with him.

Shortly after law enforcement arrived on scene, Letcher is seen entering his house where he reportedly committed suicide before police could apprehend him.
Rosen and his team were later detained by police as they conducted an investigation into Letcher's suicide. The police ended up detaining us (“per instruction”) sometime after the pedophiIe offed himself. https://t.co/YXnnfYiAQu

Letcher was previously convicted of sexually molesting a minor girl from August 1992 until July 1993. Letcher was convicted in 1995, though was exonerated of his crime the following year.
"He has been at this for so many years," Rosen wrote in another post. "Donald Letcher has more real victims. You can bet on that. If you know anything, now is the time to come forward. He should have never been exonerated, either."
"Common 'justice system' L," Rosen added. The pedophiIe that k*lled himself during the catch yesterday was a s*x offender who was exonerated in 1996.

In 2022, Letcher served 25 days in jail after pleading guilty to running over a 6-year-old girl in his car while driving under the influence. Letcher's license was also suspended for 30 days and he received two years' probation. Not only did this pedophiIe m**est a kid in the 90s and get exonerated, he ran over a 6-year-old girl in a hit-and-run while driving drunk a couple of years ago…
He got 25 days in jail for that. https://t.co/7A3dWPfeO6 pic.twitter.com/xT7iI7iO4t
