‘Predator hunters’ confront former Fishers Christian Academy teacher for pursuing minors online

FISHERS, Ind. – A former Fishers Christian Academy teacher is facing several felony charges after he was accused of child solicitation and sexual misconduct with a 15-year-old student.

Days before his arrest, 34-year-old Stephen Ayon was confronted outside of his church by individuals calling themselves “predator hunters” accusing him of pursuing other minors online.

Court documents claim Fishers Police received an anonymous tip that Ayon behaved inappropriately with female students. Detectives first asked Ayon about accusations that he pursued 13-year-olds over messaging apps. They say Ayon called his online conversations with minors a “curiosity.”

Detectives say they became aware of two separate, past allegations involving his inappropriate behavior – one in Fishers, one in California. According to a probable cause affidavit, he confessed to having a relationship with the 15-year-old student for at least a year. The document states she completed a forensic interview saying Ayon, her teacher at the time, forced her to touch him. In the interview, she said she was scared to tell anyone about it.

On Sept. 24, Ayon was confronted outside Fishers Baptist Church by individuals who call themselves “predator hunters,” with “PredHunters Indiana” and “Creeps Spotlight.” In a live stream, they told Ayon they had evidence that he planned to meet up with a decoy posing as a 14-year-old – which he denied.

“I did nothing illegal last night,” Ayon is heard saying in the video.

“You didn’t want to have sex with a little girl?” a man who identifies himself as “FM” with Creeps Spotlight responds.

“Absolutely not,” Ayon said.

In an interview with FOX59/CBS4, the woman who recorded the video, a representative from PredHunters Indiana, asked to remain anonymous.

“Stephen contacted our decoy,” she said. “We explained to him, ‘Hey, I’m 14, I’m a child.’ He was okay with that.”

I hope he goes to jail. No deals.
They don’t get confronted unless there is evidence of an intent to meet up, so there is a lot more that goes on that doesn’t culminate into a meeting.

They are in our public and Christian schools, no where is safe.

Just homeschool your kid because the devil is everywhere going after the kids.
