Facebook Exec Allegedly Caught in Child Sex Sting

February 19, 2022

A high-level Facebook executive was allegedly caught in an amateur undercover child sex sting operation in Columbus, Ohio.

Footage of the sting operation was posted on the YouTube channel “Predator Catchers Indianapolis” on February 16th, 2022.

Jeren Andrew Miles, 35, a resident of Palm Springs, California, allegedly sent sexually explicit texts to a 13 year old boy, and made arrangements to meet up with him at Le Meridien Columbus hotel.

At the time, Miles was the Manager of Community Development at Meta/Facebook. A company spokesperson has since confirmed to the The Daily Caller that he is “no longer with the company.”

According to the footage of the sting operation posted to YouTube, the anti-pedophile activist group busted Miles at the Le Meridien Columbus hotel. Surprisingly, the alleged pedophile then agreed to give an interview.https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1494455923049390080

In the interview, Miles admitted to the “Predator Catchers Indianapolis” activists that he had sent sexually explicit messages to an individual that he believed to be a 13 year old boy.

“I was flirting, I was talking to him,” the former Facebook employee admitted. “There was never any intention of meeting up with him.”Miles later admitted that he had arranged a meetup after giving the supposed underaged boy “information” and a “location.”

The alleged pedophile isn’t just a former Facebook employee though. It’s much worse. While he has since deleted his social media accounts on LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, archived versions have been uncovered, according to The Post Millennial’s Andy Ngo’s website.

First of all, Miles serves on the board of directors for an LGBTQ+ group, Equality California. He also previously worked as the Director of Community Affairs for Lyft.

Here’s where it gets even worse: Miles visited the Boys and Girls Club of Winnipeg when he worked for Lyft. According to a post from his since-deleted Twitter account, the alleged pedophile said that he was looking forward to partnering with the Boys and Girls Club of Winnipeg to provide them with rideshare opportunities.

A spokesperson for Predator Catchers Indianapolis told The Post Millennial‘s editor-at-large Andy Ngo in an email exchange that they had provided details regarding the sting operation and encounter with Miles to both the Columbus, Ohio and Palm Springs, California police departments.

“The man in the video’s name is Jeren Miles, 36, of Palm Springs, California. Our team members gained access to his room by knocking on his door and telling them why they were there. He then invited them in for a conversation about his online activity” the spokesperson told Ngo in the email exchange. “Screen shots of the online conversation are being finalized and will be sent to the Columbus, Ohio and Palm Springs, California Police Departments later today.”

Facebook/Meta confirmed to The Daily Caller on February 16th that Jeren Miles was the man in the video, and reported that he is no longer employed by the company.

“The seriousness of these allegations cannot be overstated,” the spokesperson told the Daily Caller. “The individual is no longer employed with the company. We are actively investigating this situation and cannot provide further comment at this time.”
