Zach Sweers made a name for himself by running predator stings online, and then meeting and busting the predators on camera for his YouTube site, Anxiety War.

Now, one of the guys involved has turned the tables and his suing him.

Using evidence from Sweers, the Grand Rapids Police Department arrested seven men back in April. At the time, they told Sweers to discontinue his 'To Catch A Predator' styled video series, saying it was dangerous. Sweers eventually stopped.

One of the guys he nabbed using an alias online and pretending to be an underage girl, is suing Sweers, saying he was intending only to give the girl a stern talking to and set her straight.

Sweers has taken to his YouTube page to help solicit funds to cover his legal costs.

A GoFundMe page has been set up for his legal defense fund and has so far raised over $17,000 of his estimated $25,000 needed, mostly in five to ten dollar donations.
