Senior VP of PSN allegedly caught trying to lure minor

screen shots and videos of him being confronted at the twitter thread

Saw that, and scummy as shit... Still, not really SW material.

It is as SW material as the threads about the Activision/Blizzard stuff

Fair do's. Both aren't SW material, but the other threads had a fair shake.

No wonder PS+ games have been so shit for over a year. Pedos are in charge wtf man.

@hardwenzen: There is a joke there, but I'll keep it to myself 🤫

Well that’s definitely not good.

Worst PS5 viral ad EVER

Wow

I'm betting Sony execs aren't happy, especially since he was wearing a PS5 shirt in the video.

He should be fired immediately

@Chutebox: lol, now I want to hear it 😂

"I wanna play with your sack,boy"

source from a post and a video on you tube...

ahahahaha

come back to me when police get involved.

never trust ether platform on news sourcing.

If this is verified by police, then ouch.

Glad they caught him, though. It's always important to remember that while they caught this guy now, there might be a history of him molesting kids for years. Hope they can get some justice for anyone he might have hurt.

*Damn I read those texts. Dude looks pretty guilty unless this is an outright frame job.

These pedo hunters on youtube can be equally as bad as pedos themselves btw🤦‍♂️Lots of cringe.

This guy was Probably promising PS5’s as bait to lure kids in…

Cold winter for cows

Got no games released in the 2nd half of the year

Watching Microsoft release multiple new titles day one on gamepass.

Find out the VP of playstation is a creepy pedo

Cold winter for cows smh

@sargentd:

So what's on tap for Spring?

After reading this post, this video appeared in my youtube suggested videos:

Guess the youtube algorithm is into dark humor tonight.

Wow gross...what is up with these sick assholes and little kids.

Unless they go by the saying: All publicity is good publicity

The secret apprentice to Jared Fogle 🤔

If the senior vp of psn actually did what he was accused of he deserves to be fired. I also did a bit of research on these catch a predator groups and some of them are definitely not that great.Some ofthese groups at times have had their evidence thrown out in court or the police ignore them because of the way they got their evidence. I do hope this group sent their evidence to the police for them to look at in more detail.

Yea.

Don't really have a problem with the concept if it's executed well, fact is, the police can only do much when there are so many Smash players.

Sounds just like a typical Sony employee. They are some lowlife scummy people. Just can’t support Sony after this.

The mods have conferred on this, and although this has similarities to other topics we've covered recently this is currently unsubstantiated. This isn't the place to perpetuate such harmful stories - when/if it becomes more concrete this would be fair game

Unlocking now that the news appears to be legit

@xantufrog: Now that is just sad.

Imagine the life of this guy right now. oof.

yeah CNET is reporting he was fired

https://www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/sony-vp-fired-after-appearing-in-pedophile-sting-video/

No wonder Sony doesn't like sexy women in their games.

that happened quick lol

Bwahahaha 🤣

That's some sick stuff.

I hope he goes to jail because if not, imagine what he'll be doing with his van and a bag of candies with all his free time.

I didn't want to comment until it came out that he was either guilty or not, and now that it appears to be guilty let's not waste prison space and money on him, a firing squad with slightly bad aim and a ton of rounds would do nicely.

Not clicking through garbage, but he showed up with a PS5 shirt???

Sicko

What does this have to do with gaming? Disgusting that you'd think to use a serious situation like this for some dumb console war. What a new low Lems have stooped to.

@mesome713: Yeah like Sony trained him to do this. Humans have secrets and free will. Who knows what your favorite movie stars or music artists are into. Disgusting to use this as ammo for a stupid console war when things like this happen everyday. Get a life man. Would say the same to a Playstation fan trying to use a serious situation like this.

Indeed🤭

(Just to be clear, I had nothing to do with it)

Yea, still not sure what this has to do with Playstation or games. The Activision stuff was about the company itself and its practices.

@Sagemode87: Thank goodness this sick Sony pedo got fired. They need to do a deep dive investigation in these harassment, pedo, discrimination, etc claims at Sony. Where there is smoke 💨 💨 💨

@Pedro: what, locking an unlocking? TC was cool about the lock and understood, then several hours later Sony acted and CNET was covering it, so it went from harmful rumor from rando source to being in the same level of credibility to the other harassment suits etc we've discussed. So TC and I conferred and I unlocked. Just trying to be fair and consistent

The unlocking due to the nature of thread being legit. My comment was more about it being true.

@Pedro: oh I see. Yeah it's a dark world out there...

This reminds me of Counter-Strike co-creator Jess Cliffe who has been charged with sexual abuse of minors.

At least, unlike Activision Blizzard, who still defends Bobby Kotick, I'm glad that SIE took the case seriously and immediately kicked the scumbag out of the company.

I agree good on SIE for acting quickly on this. Activision/Blizzard could learn a thing or two from how SIE handled this
