A jailed Pittsburgh attorney is thinking about suing the group that tricked him into believing an underage girl wanted to meet him for sex, which led to a guilty plea to a charge of attempted corruption of a minor.

Paul Luvara’s law license has been suspended and he’s currently at SCI Forest but his attorney asked Allegheny County Common Pleas Court on Nov. 5 for permission to investigate 814PredHunters.

That group creates fake social media profiles of underage girls then notifies police when adults initiate sexual conversations. Its work led Punxsutawney police to a McDonald’s in 2023, where Luvara had agreed to meet the fake girl.
