ALBAWABA - Bryant Moreland, best known by his YouTube handle EDP445, was charged with sex crimes after trying to meet up with a 13-year-old girl, only to find out on arrival that it was a sting operation by YouTuber Alex Rose.
According to TMZ, citing a Kern County District Attorney, EDP445 was arrested in Las Vegas on Wednesday and is set to face legal action in California.
The Kern County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement, "When the Kern County District Attorney’s Office initially reviewed the incident in 2021 and 2022, there were significant challenges in pursuing prosecution, particularly due to the lack of cooperation from the reporting parties."
EDP has been arrested on multiple felony charges after JiDion helped coordinate his arrest at EDP’s dialysis center.

Beforehand, the YouTuber was free to move about and even admitted to inappropriate interactions with minors in Mike Clum's recent documentary "The Sick Mind of EDP445" and in Chris Hansen's "Have a Seat" podcast.
In court documents obtained by the outlet, the former content creator was charged with several felonies, including attempted lewd acts with a child under 14 years old, meeting a minor for sexual purposes, contacting a minor with the intent of sexual offense, and sending disturbing content to a minor. The charges in question were linked back to 2021.
EDP's comments during the documentary and podcast allowed the DA's office to take legal action against him. Moreland was later found in Las Vegas, arrested, and taken into custody, putting an end to a long-awaited five-year journey.
