Right-wing scammers Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl are facing a $5 million lawsuit by a Washington, D.C., elementary school teacher over an alleged plot to cast him as a pedophile in a video sting in the style of “To Catch a Predator,” a reality TV series in which men arriving at a house to have sex with a minor are secretly confronted and recorded by hidden cameras.
Tom Patrick Birner said in a 15-page federal complaint filed Wednesday that in May 2022, he met a girl on Tinder who went by the name “Emily” and said she was 19 years old. After the two exchanged phone numbers and some texts, “Emily” encouraged Birner to meet her in Maryland and told him that she was actually 16 years old, according to the filing. Birner, however, says that he believed the girl to be over 16, because she “looked and acted over the age of 16.”
The following month, said Birner, he went to a home in Edgewater, Maryland, that “Emily” said belonged to her parents, where upon arrival, “Emily” told him “to take his clothes off and to sit on the couch in the home and to masturbate while she watched.”

Wohl and Burkman last appeared here in December 2024 when a Michigan appeals court upheld their felony charges in a racist robocalling campaign.
In April 2024, the pair were fined $1.25 million by the state of New York after a federal judge found that their racist robocalls violated the Ku Klux Klan Act.
In February 2024, they were hit with an $11 million racketeering lawsuit from a man who says they falsely accused him of being a child predator.
In 2022, they were ordered to perform 500 hours of community service registering voters in minority neighborhoods. That same year the FCC fined the pair $5 million.
In 2019, Wohl as arrested on felony charges for allegedly illicit securities sales after having been banned for life from the National Futures Association.
Wohl appeared on JMG in September 2020 when he showed up outside the Supreme Court with a bullhorn to ridicule those mourning the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
As many longtime JMG readers will surely recall, during the 2016 presidential campaign Wohl and Burkman hired actors to falsely accuse multiple prominent Democrats and Robert Mueller of various sexual offenses.
Last month Wohl interviewed neo-Nazi leader Nick Fuentes for his “man-o-sphere” Censored TV podcast, Man Up.
