George Cacioppo allegedly sent explicit photos and his GPS location to a member of the YouTube account 'People v. Preds' via the gay hookup app Grindr in October. The decoy claimed to have recently turned 15, according to screenshots of the exchange. 'Too bad,' Cacioppo, 64, replied, before asking the fake teen about his sexual experiences and preferences, 'You want to suck or get sucked?' On Friday, the executive was filmed waiting for the child outside his San Diego-area home with a 'PS5' T-shirt on after they agreed to meet in person. The videographer confronts him and Cacioppo shuts the door. Cacioppo has been a senior vice president of engineering at the video game company, owned by Sony, for eight years. 'We are aware of the situation and the employee in question has been terminated from employment,' Sony told CNET on Sunday.

Cacioppo had Grindr profiles under the names 'Giving Head' and 'Hosting BJ 4U,' according to screenshots shared on a Google Drive by the People v. Preds account. He appeared to have messaged the decoy first on October 10, though it remains unclear what the decoy's profile looked like. 'You like getting sucked? Got photos?' Cacioppo asked. He goes on to send a picture of himself. When the decoy tells him he's 14, he appears to ignore the warning. 'Photos?' he asked again.
