Avi Dubitzky: Pedophile Hunter in Israel
Avi Dubitzky is Israel’s most recognized pedophile hunter. In this season’s PEOPLE Magazine spotlight, we meet the man who has made it his mission to protect children and expose online predators.
“I Recognize Predators Within Minutes,” Says Dubitzky
Dubitzky claims he can identify a predator within minutes. “They follow predictable patterns,” he explains. His team poses as underage teens online. Once a suspect initiates explicit conversation, they set up a sting and log all communication. The operation ends with a confrontation and law enforcement involvement.
The Pedophile Hunter’s Motivation
Avi Dubitzky’s mission stems from his background in investigative journalism and his deep frustration with institutional inaction. Having followed and exposed cases for years, he now dedicates himself full-time to uncovering child predators online. “I couldn’t stand by and watch it happen anymore,” he says. “Someone had to act.”
Life Under Threat: Risks of Being a Pedophile Hunter
As Israel’s leading pedophile hunter, Dubitzky has faced threats, harassment, and even physical attacks. Despite the dangers, he continues his work with resolve: “This isn’t a job—it’s my calling.”
Controversy and Legal Support
While some critics question his methods, legal experts such as Prof. Yoram Rabin confirm Dubitzky acts within the law. The predator initiates, not Dubitzky—making the evidence admissible. Public support remains high.
