Perverted Justice Foundation, Inc., more commonly known as Perverted-Justice (also known as PeeJ), is an American organization based in California and Oregon, that investigates, identifies, and publicizes the conduct of adults who solicit online sexual conversations with adults posing as children or underage teenagers. The site consists of volunteers who carry out sting operations by posing as 10–15 year old minors on chat sites and waiting for adults to approach them. After obtaining identifying information of adults posing as minors, who may offer their telephone numbers and other details so that meetings can be arranged, the organization passes the information on to law-enforcement. Perverted-Justice's methods are controversial, and a number of critics have labeled these actions harassment. The site additionally attracted media attention, both laudatory and critical, as a result of their collaboration with Dateline NBC on a series of televised sting operations called To Catch a Predator.
