But an <a href=\"https:\/\/oklahomawatch.org\/2025\/08\/01\/predator-hunters-tactics-draw-fans-but-concern-police-and-advocates\/\">Oklahoma Watch investigation<\/a> revealed that Goodwin and his cohorts used highly questionable tactics and pursued the most vulnerable people, using decoy accounts to pose as minors online and entice potential predators to meet in person or reveal their addresses. Goodwin\u2019s group would then confront the person with a camera rolling, often bullying and humiliating the person before alerting police, hoping for an arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhenever they\u2019re shackling them up, putting them in the back of the cop car, that\u2019s the best,\u201d Goodwin told Oklahoma Watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the group had been banished from several major social media platforms, they still claimed an audience of about 169,000 followers. Goodwin claimed he was earning about $1,500 per month from the videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-newspack-blocks-homepage-articles is-style-borders wpnbha show-image image-alignright ts-4 is-1 is-landscape is-style-borders\" style=\"\">\n\t\t<div data-posts data-current-post-id=\"744274\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"article-section-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>the latest<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t<article data-post-id=\"754196\" class=\"tag-attorney-general tag-cdc tag-covid-19 tag-george-monks tag-measles tag-oklahoma-news tag-oklahoma-state-department-of-health tag-oklahoma-state-medical-association tag-whooping-cough category-health category-publichealth type-post post-has-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"post-thumbnail\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/oklahomawatch.org\/2026\/01\/05\/oklahoma-health-department-refuses-to-share-county-level-measles-data\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Monks_15-scaled.jpg?resize=1200%2C900&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-newspack-article-block-landscape-large size-newspack-article-block-landscape-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Oklahoma Health Department Refuses to Share County-Level Measles Data\" data-hero-candidate=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Monks_15-scaled.jpg?resize=1200%2C900&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Monks_15-scaled.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Monks_15-scaled.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Monks_15-scaled.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Monks_15-scaled.jpg?resize=200%2C150&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Monks_15-scaled.jpg?zoom=2&amp;resize=1200%2C900&amp;ssl=1 2400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Monks_15-scaled.jpg?resize=1200%2C900&amp;ssl=1&amp;w=370 370w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 782px) 600px, (min-width: 600px) 42.5vw, 90vw\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure><!-- .featured-image -->\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"entry-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oklahomawatch.org\/2026\/01\/05\/oklahoma-health-department-refuses-to-share-county-level-measles-data\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Oklahoma Health Department Refuses to Share County-Level Measles Data<\/a><\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"entry-meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/oklahomawatch.org\/author\/paulmonies\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" alt=\"Avatar photo\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cropped-Paul-Monies.jpg?resize=48%2C48&amp;ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cropped-Paul-Monies-96x96.jpg 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-48 photo\" height=\"48\" width=\"48\"><\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"byline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"author-prefix\">by<\/span> <span class=\"author vcard\"><a class=\"url fn n\" href=\"https:\/\/oklahomawatch.org\/author\/paulmonies\/\">Paul Monies<\/a><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span><!-- .author-name -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<time class=\"entry-date published\" datetime=\"2026-01-05T06:01:00-06:00\">January 5, 2026<\/time><time class=\"updated\" datetime=\"2026-01-05T11:05:42-06:00\">January 5, 2026<\/time>\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .entry-meta -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .entry-wrapper -->\n\t<\/article>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<p>Goodwin did not like Oklahoma Watch\u2019s story. He and an associate left multiple inappropriate messages on reporter Haley Parsley\u2019s voicemail and contacted her during one of their livestreamed catches in an attempt to engage her as part of the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Aug. 16, Goodwin, a 42-year-old Oklahoma City resident, and colleagues Ryan Koch, 36, of Moore and George Liebsch, 43, of Enid, were in McLennan County, Texas, where Sheriff\u2019s Investigator Andrew Hermes had just arrested members of a similar group, charging them with unlawful restraint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hermes applied the same strategy to Goodwin, Koch and Liebsch, who were arrested separately in Oklahoma Friday morning by members of a U.S. Marshal\u2019s task force on McLennan County, Texas, warrants. They were charged with unlawful restraint and exposing the victim to a substantial risk of serious bodily injury. The charge is a third-degree felony in Texas, which carries a maximum punishment of 10 years imprisonment and a $10,000 fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe video revealed a coordinated effort by the three OPP members to control and restrict the man\u2019s movements, including directing him where to stand, corralling him into a secluded area, all the while using aggressive and profane language,\u201d the McLennan County Sheriff\u2019s Office said in a press release. \u201cThe situation escalated to the point where the man lost consciousness, collapsed and struck his head.\u00a0 It was only at that point that OPP members notified law enforcement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hermes said that while law enforcement is committed to protecting children, the vigilante-style approach of people such as those affiliated with OPP poses its own threat to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t have these guys out there doing the kinds of things they\u2019re doing,\u201d Hermes said. \u201cThere are too many things that can go wrong. If someone suspects that there\u2019s a threat to children, the right thing to do is to contact law enforcement and let us take it from there.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"140\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Ted-250x-140x140.jpg?resize=140%2C140&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-734027\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Ted-250x.jpg?resize=140%2C140&amp;ssl=1 140w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Ted-250x.jpg?resize=200%2C200&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Ted-250x.jpg?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Ted-250x.jpg?w=250&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Ted-250x-140x140.jpg?w=370&amp;ssl=1 370w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Ted-250x-140x140.jpg?w=400&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 140px) 100vw, 140px\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>Ted Streuli is Oklahoma Watch\u2019s executive director.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Contact him at <a href=\"mailto:sierra@kosu.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tstreuli@oklahomawatch.org<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:4px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three Oklahoma men involved in the group Oklahoma Predator Prevention were arrested Friday morning by members of a U.S. Marshall\u2019s task force on felony warrants out of McLennan County, Texas.
