## Biography

27-year-old Davut Ozkan, who used the screen name "nakzox," engaged in conversation with a Perverted Justice decoy who was impersonating a fifteen-year-old girl. Davut misrepresented his age, saying he was 25. Davut asked the girl when her dad will be gone and whether he may come see her after less than an hour of conversation. He said he would like to kiss her but couldn't have sex with her due to her age. She was next questioned about her height and weight. Davut afterwards stated throughout the chat that he didn't want any issues when he met with her. Then he inquired as to whether she had ever seen a penis before offering to show her his. Davut declared that he would bring a pornographic DVD and asked if she wanted to touch his penis. Later, Davut offered to kiss her breasts and enquired as to their size. Davut inquired as to whether the girl may board a bus and travel to his house. He inquired about her "baby body" after she said that she couldn't.

## Interview with Chris Hansen

Davut enters the sting house. The decoy claims that she cut her toe and that her mother would kill her if blood got on the carpet. Davut makes a beeline for the decoy while asking where her mom is. Davut is instructed to sit down when Chris Hansen enters the room.Chris initially believed the girl Davut was going to see was thirteen-years-old since he had the wrong chatlog. He then receives the appropriate chatlog from Del Harvey. He acknowledges that after Chris questioned why he spoke with a fifteen-year-old, his friends informed him that chatting to anyone under the age of eighteen is inappropriate. When asked his age, Davut confesses that he lied about being 25 and that he is actually 27-years- old. Davut stated that he was on spring break and a student at Ohio State University. He said he wanted to meet a girl online because he was "bored." Davut tried to claim he had never spoken to a minor online and that the experience had left him feeling "embarrassed." He then acknowledges bringing condoms and places them on the table.

Davut further asserted that because he had been with a girl the day before, the condom was already in his pocket. Davut maintained he would only want to kiss the girl and wouldn't do anything sexual when Chris exposed his lies. He begs Chris not to view the chat log any longer. His pleas are not heard. When Chris indicated there was proof of Davut wanting sex, Davut insisted he didn't. He reiterates that this was his first encounter with a minor and that he wouldn't repeat the situation. He continued by saying that it was against his religion and that he shouldn't have done it. After that, he asserted that the girl was his first encounter with a person under the age of eighteen. After being confronted, Davut declares to Chris that he will never do it again. He claimed that everyone makes mistakes and that getting caught was his. Additionally, he declared he would never return to a chatroom. The cameras then emerge as Chris discloses who he is. Davut exits while wearing a hood over his head. Before he left, Davut reiterated that it was against his religion and threatened to commit suicide if he was featured in the episode. Chris stated that they didn't want anyone to hurt themselves. The cops then arrest Davut and take him into custody.

## Police interview and processing

When questioned by police, Davut said that he had gone to the house to watch a movie with the girl. He gives a false address as his home address. When questioned about the girl's age, Davut claimed she was eighteen. The detectives refute his lie by looking through the discussion log. He then quickly gives his phone number so the investigators won't have time to write it down. Davut also asks the investigators to prevent NBC from showcasing him in the episode. He stated that he always carried condoms in his pocket because of a previous sexual connection.

Davut professed to be drunk when engaging in sexual chat with a person he believed to be a child. According to Davut, his family was supportive and sent him to the country. He declared he didn't care how long he was imprisoned for. If they saw him getting caught on television, he added, it would be "shameful" for him. Because he was on television, Davut refused to say where his family was from. Then he reiterates that it was his first time meeting a minor online. When the detective questioned where he attends school, he likewise declined to answer. Davut then reiterates that the female appeared to be older than eighteen. Davut reiterates that he would commit suicide. He implores the detectives repeatedly to take the cameras out of the room, with the cameramen pretending to do so so the detectives can get more information out of Davut. After the interview, Davut leapt at a cameraman as he was being processed and covered the camera with his hand, telling him, "Don't tape!"

## Sentence and rumored death

For his crimes, Davut was sentenced to sixty-five days in jail, ten years as a registered sex offender, and pay restitution fees around $1,500. He was later deported back to his native Turkey.

On December 1, 2014, Ozkan reportedly committed suicide after a bout of depression by jumping off from the 8th floor of an apartment building. This is not the case, however. According to a Turkish resident, the man who committed suicide was not the same man caught in the To Catch a Predator sting. Despite the two men sharing near identical names, their birthdates do not match up, making the suicide of Davut Ozkan nothing more than a false rumor. Nothing is known about the dead Davut other than that he was affiliated with FETÖ, a cult/crime syndicate.
