NEW: University of California San Diego professor confronted after allegedly trying to meet up with who he thought was a 14-year-old boy for s*x. Associate professor at UCSD Nisarg Shah was caught on camera by @peoplevpreds. San Diego police officers were seen in the video arriving at the scene before saying they couldn't arrest Shah. In a recent statement to SanDiegoVille, SDPD Lt. Travis Easter says the incident is under investigation. "We are aware of the incident and our ICAC unit is actively investigating it. There have not been any charges made as of yet." "Our ICAC unit will typically not work with civilians acting as undercover operatives and does not condone such activities because the training involved to conduct these investigations consists of hours of intense legal training." "Without that training, well-meaning civilians not only endanger themselves, but also the person they are contacting, as well as the general public." In his own statement to SanDiegoVille, Shah claims the allegations are "wrongful," despite messages that were released by People v. Preds suggesting otherwise. "These are wrongful allegations and while I would have been willing to share my account, my attorney will not let me do so but he would be happy to speak with you," he said to the outlet.
