Teens tried to catch and expose a man for trying to solicit girls for sex. He kidnapped one of them.
A California man was arrested for kidnapping a 17-year-old girl after the teen and her friends tried to set up a sting to"expose" him for using social media to solicit young girls for sex, police said.
The group said they began chatting with a man investigators identified as Robert Dreyfus, 32, and after exchanging text messages with him they eventually agreed to meet him on Sunday near a Starbucks in Vista, about 42 miles northeast of San Diego. Deputies were able to contact Dreyfus on his cellphone and convince him to pull over. The teen fled the car and Dreyfus was eventually arrested.
