SF Theater Founder Resigns After Appearing to Be Ensnared In 'To Catch a Predator'-Style Online Video
"Nick Olivero, the executive director of SF's Boxcar Theatre, has resigned after being accused on social media of attempting to meet a minor for sex. The allegation was made through a video posted by People v. Preds, which focuses on exposing suspected predators. In the video, the individual identified as Olivero is confronted about arranging a meetup with a fictional 14-year-old boy. Messages exchanged on Grindr were also revealed, further implicating him in inappropriate behavior, though it remains unclear if law enforcement is involved."
"The video shows a person labeled as Nick Olivero being confronted in a grocery store parking lot about a potential meeting with a minor. The vigilante, Tim Johnson, films the encounter, making accusations and using a recording style reminiscent of a past television show addressing similar issues. This confrontation is part of a series of videos where suspected predators are targeted, raising questions about legality and the motives behind such social media tactics."
