Alex Rosen

Alex Levi Rosen (also known under his online aliases Chet Goldstein and Gordon Flowers) is the founder of the Houston-based organization Predator Poachers, which conducts sting operations on adults who seek sexual activities with minors.

Rosen founded the organization in 2019. As of October 2025, the organization has claimed responsibility for arrests in all 50 U.S. states and convictions in 41, though this statistic has not been fully verified.

Career Rosen founded Predator Poachers at the age of 19 in his hometown of Houston. The operations conducted by the group generally follow the strategy of using a dating app to create a profile under a false identity, waiting for an adult to message the account and then quickly disclosing that the account in question belongs to an underage person. If the target continues to message the account, the chat is then usually followed by a real-life meeting with the suspect. Rosen stated in an interview with Fox 40: "We drop our age immediately. We don't give them any doubts as to how old we are". The organization is funded by membership subscriptions and merchandise sales on its website.

A 2020 article by Cincinnati CityBeat stated that in many videos Rosen seemed "to instigate fights, or use excessive profanity and derogatory terms", and that the language he had used on video resulted in his YouTube channel receiving two strikes. The channel was later banned from the platform due to receiving multiple community guidelines strikes.

In 2021, the group was responsible for exposing comedian and content creator Bryant Moreland, more commonly known by his online alias EDP445, for allegedly talking to one of their decoys. The group was permanently banned from YouTube after the event due to policy violations.

Incidents On July 24, 2024, Rosen stated that a 60-year-old man had died by suicide after Rosen and his team accused him of viewing child pornography. According to court documents, Donald Anthony Letcher had been previously accused of child molestation in the 1990s in a criminal case that was ultimately dismissed by the prosecution after the South Dakota Supreme Court overturned his conviction due to concerns regarding the credibility of the witnesses and another evidence-related issue that, the court stated, "severely prejudiced [his] ability to defend" himself. Rosen and his team were detained by police during the incident.

On March 26, 2025, Rosen was arrested in Branson, Missouri by the Branson Police Department for felony harassment at a Steak n' Shake restaurant after attempting to confront an alleged child predator named Joshua Teague who worked there and was, according to Rosen, approaching the same exact 13-year-old decoy he approached in 2024, as well as another underage decoy of Predator Poachers. Previously, Rosen confronted Teague in a sting in a different part of Taney County in October 2024 where Teague admitted to talking to a decoy of Predator Poachers, and also admitted to molesting his sister when she was 12 years old, possessing child sexual abuse material, and being arrested in 2020 (though charges were subsequently dropped) for sending pictures of his genitalia to an employee alongside Teague at the Steak n' Shake in Branson. Subsequently, an uproar on social media lambasting the Branson Police Department for the arrest of Rosen and the litany of evidence of Teague admitting to his sexual transgressions not getting him arrested pressured the Branson Police Department to take action against Teague by arresting him.

Political positions Rosen has described himself as "very, very right-wing", as a libertarian and as a conservative. His account on X has 475,000 followers.

Statements about LGBT people According to Texas Observer reporter Steven Monacelli, Rosen described the LGBT community as a "cult".

Rosen has said the racial slur nigger in multiple YouTube videos and livestreams. In a prank call to a Black Lives Matter hotline, he reportedly used homophobic and racial slurs. Rosen stated in an interview that "it obviously looks bad" and that he had "no hatred in my heart towards any group of people".

Activism at public events In June 2022, Rosen published a video of himself confronting Republican representative Dan Crenshaw at the Texas State Republican Convention, calling him a "World Economic Forum sell-out", until being stopped by security. In October of the same year, Rosen posted a video where Harris County officers told him that he had been banned from the Harris County Commissioners Court for being "disruptive".

Support for Chud the Builder

Rosen is an outspoken supporter of controversial livestreamer Dalton Eatherly better known as Chud the Builder. Eatherly gained notoriety for posting derogatory ragebait content in which he antagonized random Black people with racial slurs and threats of violence unprovoked. On May 13th, 2026, He was arrested for attempted murder on a Black man named Joshua Fox stemming from an incident outside of Montgomery County Courthouse in Tennessee. Rosen made an appearance at Eatherly's court hearing where he took to the witness stand and presented bank records as well as Cash App documents to the court; and told them that he was willing to put $100,000 towards Eatherly's bond. Rosen later publicly donated $10,000 towards Eatherly's bail, claiming that it was because he supports free speech.

The incident led JiDion to end his partnership with Rosen, a decision that he announced publicly on June 4 in a YouTube Video titled "This Is The End"'. In the video he explained that he could no longer continue working with Rosen after finding out that he donated money towards Eatherly's bond and argued, "That money could have gone toward catching predators, cancer research, helping homeless people, or doing something positive".
