A disabled Pinterest worker has been apprehended. This comes after being accused of luring a 14-year-old boy to his residence in Torrance, California.
A recording from the January 12 sting operation was shown. It depicted 30-year-old Drew Soule being apprehended by officers after predator hunters approached him at his residence. Soule had been communicating with a decoy put in place by “People v. Preds.” This was as he pretended to be an underage boy.
Soule continuously tried to deny that he had attempted to meet with a minor. However, PvP showed they had all of the conversations where the decoy explicitly said his age. Soule then accused the predator hunter of impersonating people and of taking drugs.
“Dude, you’re literally so high. Are you doing drugs right now? I’m in a wheelchair. What the f—-are you trying to say to me?” Soule asks.
PvP eventually called authorities and videoed the occurrence with a shocked officer.
“I’ve never done this before. I’ve never done something like this. We do our best to take everybody into custody,” one of the officers stated. He noted that they would need unique transport arrangements to take Soule to the police station. It isn’t known at this time whether any charges have been pressed.
PvP uploaded the arrest recording to their Rumble on February 12.
It has also been learned that Soule was employed as a Senior Human Resources Business Partner for Pinterest when he was apprehended.
He has SMA type 2, or spinal muscular atrophy. This is a progressive and oftentimes fatal disease. He is in a powerchair and normally uses his extensive physical disability to be an activist in his career.
Pinterest has not released any public statements regarding Soule.
