(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Prosecutor William C.C. Kemp-Neal resigned from his position at the Bronx District Attorney’s office after an anti-child predator group accused him of attempting to meet with a 13-year-old boy.
The group, Dads Against Predators, released video footage purportedly showing Kemp-Neal at a Bronx Target and then fleeing after being confronted by a member of the group.
“Excuse me, everybody! This man right here came to meet a 13-year-old boy,” one vigilante shouted as a bystander chased Kemp-Neal.

According to the Post, the Bronx District Attorney’s Office paid Kemp-Neal $84,999 annually as an assistant district attorney. He allegedly handled cases involving assault, harassment and child endangerment.
“I didn’t,” Kemp-Neal replied.
In a statement to the outlet, a spokesperson for Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark said that Kemp-Neal was no longer employed by the DA. He left the office on July 17, days after the video was released.
A subsequent video showed local law enforcement responding to the Target parking lot. According to the Post, an investigation is underway.
