Black Lives Matter (BLM) and “Defund the Police” activist Aston Mack has been arrested after he was busted during a child predator sting.
Mack was caught attempting to meet up with a child who he was allegedly planning to rape.
The 35-year-old “George Floyd protester” was busted in a child sex sting after he’d been grooming an underage girl in text messages.
However, the “child” he was hoping to rape was actually an undercover police officer.
When Mack arrived to meet the “child,” sheriff’s deputies were waiting for him and took the BLM radical into custody.
The arrest was captured on video by veteran predator poacher Chris Hansen and his team.
Hansen worked with police on the sting operation.
The “To Catch a Predator” star joined Fox News’s Jesse Watters to report on the arrest of Mack.
Mack is a Florida activist who participated in and led several BLM and “Defund the Police” riots in 2020.
Footage shows sheriff’s deputies raiding Mack’s residence and tackling him after he fled on foot.
“Can you grab my shoe?” the activist asked as he was hauled away.
The arresting officers denied his request.
Mack had allegedly been grooming the “child” in text messages before arranging to meet the underage girl in person.
Hansen said Mack had gone to meet the child with the intention of raping her.
However, when he was arrested, Mack claimed he had just gone there to “help” the child.
“35-year-old Aston Mack, BLM activist, worked with challenged children in Orlando, claimed to me that he had the sex trafficking hotline number on his phone in his pocket and was just gonna help this girl out,” Hansen explained to Watters.
“But the texts tell a very different story,” Hansen added.
WATCH:
Back in 2022, ESPN dedicated an article to detailing how Mack became an activist.
The outlet reported that Mack is a supporter of the UK soccer team Arsenal, also known as the Gunners.
He was frequently spotted wearing the Arsenal soccer shirt during the BLM riots.
“In June 2020, Aston Mack was pictured at a Black Lives Matter demonstration in Gunners yellow,” ESPN reported.
“Mack founded the Orlando Freedom Fighters after George Floyd’s killing in May 2020,” the reporter added.
“The group aims to organize and support protests against injustice, and Mack wears his Arsenal shirt to events.”
The UK’s Arsenal soccer team also promoted Mack on social media as one of their biggest fans in the U.S.
However, the posts have now been deleted following his arrest.
