Father of missing teen and Dog The Bounty Hunter file lawsuit against influencers

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Dog The Bounty Hunter and Sebastian Rogers’ father filed for injunctions against two social media influencers in Pennsylvania.

They claimed that a YouTuber and a TikTok user have obstructed the search for Sebastian Rogers. Sebastian has been missing since February and was last seen at his family home in Hendersonville.

Dog The Bounty Hunter joined the search for missing Sumner County teen Sebastian in September, adding $75,000 to the reward for information. Last week, he added $25,000 more to the reward, which now totals $125,000.

The lawsuit alleged that two influencers created a “coordinated campaign of cyber harassment,” consisting of “false allegations” and “witness intimidation.”

In the 323-page exhibit and testimony, Seth Rogers and Dog the Bounty Hunter’s investigative team claimed that the influencers encouraged their subscribers to flood tip lines and law enforcement with false reports. Threats to Dog’s team allegedly caused the postponement of critical travel and coordination for search efforts. A spokesperson for Seth said one of the influencers threatened to “take him down.”
