Summary

Vaikunth Soundarajan is a suspected predator that appeared on the Petaluma, California sting. He is best known for his bizarre pirate fetish, as well as being one of few Petaluma suspects whose uncut police interrogation and interview with Chris was later leaked online.  Vaikunth, twenty-six years old then, began chatting with a girl he believed to be thirteen. He was a massive fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and wanted to play out a fantasy with the girl where he would kidnap her from her room dressed as a pirate and take her away to have sex with her (statutory rape and kidnapping, folks). Besides the sex talk and bizarre pirate fantasies, Vaikunth's chat was relatively tame, although it was still entirely inappropriate given the context.
