Police Enter Property During Recording
Tredegar, Wales – A dramatic confrontation unfolded this morning at Roseland Bed & Breakfast, where Dank Dragon Exposure confronted a man identified as Daffyd Palfrey over alleged inappropriate online activity.
The sting, streamed live on social media, quickly escalated when Palfrey’s father physically attacked members of the group and made threats of gun violence.
As tensions rose, police arrived with three patrol cars and entered the property while the live recording was still ongoing.
The Confrontation: Denial and Evidence
Dank Dragon Exposure, a well-known group dedicated to exposing online predators, arrived at Roseland B&B to confront Daffyd, presenting what they claimed was clear evidence of inappropriate conversations.
However, Palfrey denied all allegations, insisting he had been hacked—a common defense often seen in similar cases.
As a member of Dank Dragon continued questioning Palfrey, the situation quickly escalated when his father came outside in an apparent rage.
Violence, Shotgun Threats & Police Involvement
Eyewitnesses watching the live sting saw Palfrey’s father physically attack members of Dank Dragon.
During the altercation, he threatened to “blow their heads off with a shotgun.”
Shortly after, three police cars arrived at the scene, and officers entered the property while the live recording continued.
At this time, it is unclear whether any arrests were made, but police intervention suggests that both the allegations against Palfrey and his father’s violent threats are now under investigation.
Who Are Dank Dragon?
Dank Dragon is an independent group that conducts sting operations to expose online predators.
They work with decoys posing as minors, gathering evidence and confronting individuals in live-streamed stings.
While their actions have drawn praise from supporters, they have also faced criticism for potentially interfering with police investigations.
Why Exposure Teams Matter
There is no question that more needs to be done to keep children safe from online predators.
Groups like Dank Dragon play a critical role in exposing those who seek to harm minors—and their efforts are essential in a system where too many cases slip through the cracks.
The work of exposure teams should not be undermined or dismissed—it should spark a larger conversation about why these groups exist in the first place and what more can be done at a legal and community level to protect vulnerable children.
What Happens Next?
With police now actively involved, an official investigation is likely.
Potential outcomes could include:
✔ Criminal charges against Palfrey if sufficient evidence is found.
✔ Legal action against his father for physical assault and making violent threats.
✔ Further safeguarding measures depending on what authorities uncover.
Roseland B&B has yet to make an official statement regarding the incident.
