A predator who visited the home of a 13-year-old girl found her brother and 2 of his homies waiting for him instead. If not for the vicious beating that ensued, the man might have believed he was caught in a Dateline NBC-type sting. At one point during the beat down, one of the attackers asks: "You ever heard of Dateline NBC, n*gga?"

You may want to turn your computer volume down as the video contains profanity and other adult situational language.

The attackers -- who call themselves "the Villains" -- prefaced the video with this introduction:

"The other night our homie hit us up and said that his little 13 year old sister came to him and said that this grown ass man that had already been talking to her friend hit her up on FB and wanted to bring some beer over and 'hang out'... He was under the impression that she was home alone and made it very clear in his messages what he was tryna do... the Villains had other plans for him."

The video ends before the worst of the whupping takes place. It isn't clear if the pedophile was reported to the police.
