CJ Cox, best known for his work in films like “Sweet Home Alabama” and “Latter Days,” was involved in a sting operation that exposed his alleged inappropriate behavior with a minor.
The operation was coordinated by streamer Vitale, who lured Cox to a house under the pretext of meeting a 15-year-old boy.
Cox was videotaped unaware that he was being videotaped engaging in conduct that indicated intent to act inappropriately with the minor. The footage shows him committed to the situation until Vitale and his team reveal the operation, so he confronts Cox and records his reaction. Startled, Cox quickly dressed and left the scene when he realized he was in danger.
The video, shared by user Shadow of Ezra on X (formerly Twitter), sparked outrage online. The caption read: “Hollywood screenwriter C. Jay Cocks… has been exposed by streamer Vitale in a shock operation.” Social media erupted with angry reactions denouncing the screenwriter’s alleged actions.
