Bryant Moreland, a YouTuber known as EDP445, was seemingly caught trying to meet a 13-year-old in an online vigilante sting operation. Another YouTuber known for filming these "stings" released the footage, which appears to show Moreland exchanging inappropriate texts with the decoy who was pretending to be 13 years old.

Now Moreland has deleted all of his videos from the platform.

EDP445, which stands for "eat dat pu---," is a 30-year-old YouTuber with two million subscribers who has been posting since 2010. He gained online fame as a loud Philadelphia Eagles fan, who mostly posts vlogs, mukbangs, and rants at the camera. He has appeared on Comedy Central's "Tosh.0" multiple times.

The Kern County Sheriff's Office, which has jurisdiction in the incident, did not verify that the call was made, but a detective told Insider in a statement that "it is the practice of the Kern County Sheriff's Office to not provide confirmation of or comment on an investigation."

Law enforcement told a local ABC affiliate news station the "video's content is under investigation but as of now no arrests have been made."

Moreland was previously accused of talking to underage girls. YouTuber ColdRaven created a series of videos where he accused Moreland of messaging and following underage women on Instagram, posting what he said were screenshots of their interactions. ColdRaven also pretended to be an underage girl himself and claimed Moreland sent his decoy sexually explicit messages. ColdRaven did not return Insider's request seeking further comment.
