TV news presenter resigns after allegedly sexting men posing as underage girls
A Louisiana news anchor has resigned after allegedly sexting and dating “predator hunters” posing as a 15-year-old girl. RadarOnline.com has learned.
KTBS anchor and news director Bill Lunn resigned Monday following a vigilante operation carried out by three local men on May 29, which prompted an investigation by Shreveport police.
Antonio Colemanhis cousin Kameron Kennonand their old friend Kataurio Grigsby have been posing as underage girls to “catch child predators” on the Meet Me app for the past three weeks and have already caught ten men, they said KTVE.
“They were having a little conversation and he asked how old she was. The girl told him she was 15 years old,” Coleman recalled of his online interaction with Lunn. “It was like he was sending pictures to her. He said like he wanted to do this to her. Explicit things that I can’t say on camera.”
“It’s just crazy how quickly they’re willing to meet young women,” Kennon said, explaining that they arranged to meet during Lunn’s lunch break the next day. “As soon as he saw us, he just snapped… You could see the guilt in his eyes. He knew, ‘Oh, I’m done,'” Coleman recalled.
Grigsby added, “As Bill runs away, he shouts, ‘I’ve got a wife and kids.’ I sit there as he runs away, like in my head, how can you say that when you literally walked into the house yourself expecting to meet an underage teenager.
Lunn called the police and claimed he was the victim of an alleged assault and battery. After several hours of interrogation, police released all parties without charges.
Daily Mail reported that Lunn’s electronics had been seized as part of an ongoing investigation and an internal investigation had been launched at his workplace.

“It is our preliminary understanding that this incident was not the result of a law enforcement investigation, but rather a private citizen investigation,” Lunn’s attorney said. Dhu Thompson.
“Our primary concern at this time is that law enforcement authorities receive all evidence surrounding this incident so that they can make a thorough and complete assessment. Mr. Lunn has cooperated with authorities and vehemently denies all allegations of wrongdoing,” Thompson continued.
“It is our hope that after a thorough investigation of all the evidence surrounding this case, it will be found that Mr. Lunn is innocent and will be acquitted of all charges.”
