Michigan fired staffer after video surfaced of him allegedly trying to solicit 13-year-old girl: report
Alex Yood was recorded by internet sensations known for luring child predators
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A staffer from the Michigan football program was reportedly fired earlier this fall after a video surfaced of him allegedly soliciting a 13-year-old girl.
Alex Yood, described as a "low-level" staffer by The Michigan Insider, was recorded with a bottle of liquor by Boopac Shakur, a Michigan man who became an internet sensation for luring child predators to meet with him instead of who they thought they were talking to.
In the video, Shakur and another social media sensation approach Yood at a store where he is seen with a bottle of liquor. Yood initially claims he did not know the girl he thought he was speaking to was 13.

The other man yells in the store that Yood is at the store "to meet a 13-year-old girl off the internet for sex."

Yood admitted to asking the girl if she was a virgin, the video shows.
