Parents -- take a good, long look at the face of a predator trying to prey on your teen daughters online.

Pierce County detectives say David Ford is a serious cyber-creep -- hunting for victims on the internet under the guise of gift-giving.

"We want to find out where this guy is all the time, because he uses the computer to do his bad work,” says Pierce County Det. Ed Troyer. “What he'll do is he'll get a hold of 14, 15, 16 year old girls on the Internet, online, trade them concert tickets, trade them money, trade them other things to try and get them to expose themselves to him and then he takes photos of it, he saves the photos and videos and then he'll use it to blackmail them. He threatens to post them online and ruin their reputation if they don't perform sexual acts for him."

David ford is failing to register as a sex offender in Pierce County.

He's 28 years old, 5’6” and weighs 185 pounds. He's inked with a band tattoo around his upper right arm.
