Right-wing activists Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman are known for political stunts, including bizarre attempts<\/a> to apparently engineer sex scandals<\/a> around high-profile political figures. They\u2019re facing criminal charges<\/a> in multiple states over an alleged election robocalling scheme. But in recent months, employees say the pair have also been responsible for a bizarre and dangerous environment on the set of their Washington, DC-based imitation of To Catch a Predator<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Three former Wohl and Burkman employees went on the record with The Verge<\/em> to speak about the third season of Predator DC<\/em>, a web series<\/a> that promised to ensnare high-profile sexual predators with sting operations around the DC metropolitan area. In interviews and on social media, they describe being stranded in a Maryland Airbnb under hellish working conditions, subjected to sexual assault by the show\u2019s targets or physical assault by Wohl himself. When they complained, they allege Wohl and Burkman denied them thousands of dollars in promised payments and harassed them. <\/p>\n

Over email, the team behind Predator DC <\/em>denied the assault claim against Wohl. \u201cMs. Spealman invented these false allegations as retribution for her dismissal from the show,\u201d said a statement attributed to Wohl.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a bleak reminder of how the new online blend of politics and entertainment can chew up workers and how few options they still have for reporting abuse. In most cases of workplace misconduct, victims\u2019 last resort is going public \u2014 but for provocateurs like Wohl and Burkman, all publicity is good publicity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey wasted so much of my time. They wasted so much of my money,\u201d says Emma Sirus, an actor hired to impersonate a 16-year-old girl. \u201cThey physically put me through hell.\u201d<\/p>\n
