A United Airlines employee with a fetish for minors was caught in a sting operation at Chicago O’Hare International Airport by popular YouTuber Jidon Armani Adams. This is quite a sobering story.
United Airlines Employee Caught in Predator Sting at Chicago O’Hare
Adams, who goes by JiDion on YouTube, has become a modern-day Chris Hansen, catching online predators through sting operations he orchestrates himself. In his latest case, he liaised with a United Ground Express employee by posing as a 15-year-old girl online. United Ground Express, a wholly owned subsidiary of United Airlines, provides airport ground handling support at many airports across the United network.
A meeting was set up for the United employee to meet the girl at Chicago O’Hare (ORD). All sorts of things were discussed that were going to take place in the hotel room in nearby Elk Grove Village…I’m not going to repeat them, but you can listen to the video…think rope.
JiDion confronts the man, who goes on to confess, in lurid detail, his fantasies, plans, and history of interacting with underage girls.
Eventually, the man is arrested by airport police officers, who work with JiDion to compile all the evidence of Facebook chats and other images for presentation to state prosecutors.
The video ends, interestingly, with an update that the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute this man, despite his overt solicitation of an underage girl for sexual activity and his recorded admission to JiDion that he had done it and also done it in the past.
I am not an expert in Illinois state law regarding the prosecution of attempted solicitation of a minor. But people like this need help…probably in jail or labor camps.
This is the first time I’ve heard of JiDion. It seems he’s doing good work, though there’s always danger to vigilantism. It isn’t clear if this man is still working for United. Perhaps the biggest takeaway is that we must be vigilant of our children because there are some nasty predators out there.

Thank you Mr Adams!
We need more like him.
Along with the death penalty for peds.
@Dave … =1 . Yep . And an award for the hero youtuber , a hero vigilante .
Vigilantism is corrosive to the rule of law. He should have sent the evidence to the police and let them handle it all. That wouldn’t get views, though, so he wouldn’t do the prudent action.
Reason 5,678,861 social media is awful for society. I suspect there would have been a better chance of prosecution had he let the professionals take it much earlier. Now the man is free, at least until he slips up again and it might be with an actual minor.
He would not be free in Arizona . A huge problem is Cook County”s leniency .
Counterpoint: A huge problem is Arizona prosecutors’ consistent rush to judgement and disregard for both evidence and due process.
A middle ground where there is both justice and fairness exists. The “kill ‘em all, let god sort them out” mentality is at odds with what we like to call “civilization”.
Written like someone who knows Cook County third hand, from Fox, or Dishonest Don’s incoherent ramblings.
Imaginary leniency in Chicago for serious crimes.
This 4th of July weekend, the most serious real leniency of concern to the country is that granted to your Lord Trump who should be sitting in prison.
Agreed.
Charging the guy was made difficult not only by the fact that JiDion extracted a confession after he unmasked himself as an adult (something his defense team would likely portray as “fantasy talk” rather than an actual crime), but also because law enforcement was involved too late, potentially risking the evidence chain of custody (which his defense team would tear apart simply by calling into question whether the tapes were altered in any way, even if only edited to leave out crucial context for dramatic effect and YouTube clicks).
Not that I sympathize with the criminal, quite the opposite, the whole thing is revolting. But JiDion has to rethink how he goes about his business, otherwise he’s just exposing criminals and then making it easier for them to walk free.
Weirdly , some big city prosecutors decline to prosecute many crimes . Also weirdly , voters keep voting for the big city politicians who allow this .
Yet , we are fortunate to have hero vigilantes such as this youtuber who caught him .
There was a similar problem in NYC when muggers ran amok against innocent people . A large percentage of the jury pool in the hero Bernhard Goetz case ( the hero subway vigilante ) had themselves been mugged , or seen it happen . The top hcro citizens Daniel Penny and Bernhard Goetz took direct action .
Weirdly a president hid in the White House while the insurrections he sent to stop the peaceful transfer of power attacked the Capitol Police. Yes justice has taken a strange turn indeed.
Don’t melt snowflake.
That’s all you have? Triggered by the loss of support? I will pray you can get over it.
A trump voter has no leg to stand on when talking about criminals getting away with things
Hmmmmmm, perhaps you are referring the convicted felon with fake bone spurs who also lost a multimillion dollar civil lawsuit for sexual assault and also pardons criminals who assaulted and attacked law enforcement officers that were defending our nation’s Capital Building.
As I hope his supporters will figure this out, I am concerned about alert’s comment that I interpret as a call for violence. Much like the dog whistle for the insurrectionists.
Putin thanks you for spreading disinformation.
Aw. Too bad the facts have you stymied
Drink much?
Only water and pomegranate juice for me. Occasionally, tea.
The first wife of your worshipped Lord Trump said she was raped by Ye Lord Trump. And he was into “partying” with “girls on the younger side”, just like Jeffrey Epstein.
Actually, Cook County has a tough on crime prosecutor, elected in 2024 after Kim Foxx (notoriously NOT tough on crime) declined to run for re-election. The voters learned their lesson and made a change.
Maybe we should leave police work to the police rather than attention-seeking internet vigilantes?
I know nothing about the laws in Illinois, however JiDion went about his confrontation may not work with Illinois laws thus making a conviction impossible, I truly have no idea.
He just blames the Prosecutor when in fact it maybe just unfortunate that his procedures don’t allow for a charge and conviction in IL, there is no way to know who is at blame, if anyone is at blame.
It’s Illinois. That’s all you need to know.
JiDion was working with police to compile evidence for prosecutors. I imagine something went terribly wrong to allow a child predator to escape justice. At least he has been exposed and this man will be on law enforcement’s radar. Good on JiDion.
I believe a number of the cases from the NBC show were also thrown out. While the idea is good, I think doing things in this way can be problematic
“Good on him”, you say, but the evidence is clearly insufficient to give a reasonable prospect of gaining a conviction, or is entirely inadmissible due to the nature in which it was collected. Leave these things to the police. If you want to be a police officer, sign-up. This JiDion and his ilk are only in it for self-glorification and social media clout, period.
JiDion was working with police to compile evidence. I make no judgement about what happened.
Never in my life would I have expected to see a Jidion video on this website. My nephews and nieces used to watch his videos religiously.
JiDion wasn’t acting as a “vigilante” in the traditional sense. He made sure to work with actual law enforcement and collaborate with them to ensure his process was compliant with the law. There have been actual vigilantes before who seek to take down peds and criminals all by themselves, only for the culprits to go free due to lack of adherence to the process. JiDion was aware of these people and made a good effort to avoid that pitfall. This seems like an error on the part of the P.D. involved in the operation.
No.
To work within the confines of the law you hand the messaging account over to law enforcement after you make contact with a pedo so law enforcement can conduct a legal sting and collect admissible evidence.
You dont go make a Youtube video confronting a creep.
You’re right, he wasnt a vigilante. Hes a profiteer off child sex abuse.
What does this mean?
“JiDion confronts the man, who goes on to confront the main”
Giving any kid unsupervised access to the internet before they’re 16 is madness. They don’t need a smart-phone, they don’t need an iPad, they don’t need to use their laptop or PC in their bedroom. Child protection starts at home. You’re their parent, not their friend, and sometimes that means saying no, and then sticking to your guns.
Used to love watching those Dateline segments.
All the creepos needed to know, however, was that if a young girl welcomed you into her house and then said she had just made some sweet tea, it was way past time to leave.
Democrat prosecutor
Enough said
This is how sick and twisted that party is and why we literally voted for a convicted felon over a democrat
“This is how sick and twisted that party is and why we literally voted for a convicted felon over a democrat”
Do you know dumb that sounds? Not to mention, Elon Musk said that trump was in the epstein files.
So basically your stance is: “we voted for a convicted felony and a repeat visitor of epstein island instead of a Democrat because democrats might not prosecute a sex offender, even though I have no knowledge of the case or why it was thrown out”
Billy Bob, at least he honest acknowledging his choices. We must be generous to repair our states.
Chain of custody
Admission evidence
Provable crimes
I.e.: Why vigilantes trying this are stupid because the government cant use any of their “evidence”
Enough Said
I like to see that there are people out there trying to clean up our society. There is no place in our society for pedos. They need to be imprisoned for their natural lives or exhiled from society. I think it would have been better for Mr. Adams/JiDion to have turned over his evidence to the FBI, rather than local law enforcement. That would’ve bypassed the Cook County DA, who seems to have a soft spot for those types of creatures.
Derek: You are right on.. These liberal cities and states do not take crime against their taxpayers seriously. Catch and release without bail is always a bad policy.. But these Lib cities keep voting and re-electing these Politicians!! They seem to not learn from their mistakes or connect the dots!!
And you voted for a deluded criminal. At least Derek has the honesty to explain his choices. I pray reason will come into your life
When your small town hospital closes because of the big beautiful bill, just stay home and die. You aren’t welcome in lib city hospitals
Democrat prosecutor in Chicago lets a child rapist walk free.
THAT is the modern Democrat party!
Do you know the details of the case, or just responding to what you read here?
One thing is certain, the vigilante you are lauding isn’t doing this for justice. They do it for the views.
They do it to make money.
Performative charity is never charitable.
Illinois is a Demonrat-run state, and Cook County is, too. They only jail people here who speak the truth out loud.
Yes it probably would have been better if law enforcement was involved earlier-on, but that still doesn’t mean they would have prosecuted him. And in the time the case would have sat in limbo on some beaurocrat’s desk the guy could have fled elsewhere, or murdered some other kid…..
It seems there is little attention towards justice in Chicago….
