Bryant Turhan Emmerson Moreland (born December 15, 1990), better known online as EDP445,[lower-alpha 1] is an American internet personality, Philadelphia Eagles superfan, and former YouTuber. He often posted content including rants, vlogs, cooking videos, reviews, and gaming content. On April 18, 2021, he was caught in a sting and exposed as a pedophile, which resulted in the termination of his channels.[1][2]
Early life
Bryant Turhan Emmerson Moreland was born on December 15, 1990 in Los Angeles, California. He spent most of his early life in Los Angeles County and Bakersfield.[3] His mother, LaTonya Denise Moreland, died in 2015.[4]
YouTube career
Moreland initially started his YouTube career by making rant videos. Before then, he already had some recognition outside of YouTube. Around 2015, he started developing a following with various internet communities. One of his videos, entitled "EAGLES TRADE MCCOY!? WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", was his first viral video. Soon after, he became known for internet memes, and his older, sometimes deleted videos, reached new popularity, such as "I flooded the toilet in Chipotle" or "Nearly Shitted [sic] On Myself At School".[2] Moreland owned multiple YouTube channels, which were each made for a specific type of content.[lower-alpha 2]
Pedophilic messages and sting
In July 2020, private messages from Moreland were leaked, leading to allegations of pedophilia. He was eventually caught by pedophile catchers Alex Rosen and 'Ghost' on April 18, 2021, trying to meet what he thought was a 13-year-old girl, after sending sexual messages to a decoy account in the weeks prior. Moreland privatized all of his videos on April 24, 2021, and YouTube terminated his other channels three days later on April 27.[1][5] Around 3 September 2023, Moreland was caught trying to meet an underage girl again, this time by YouTuber JiDion.
As of February 2025, his new channel named "TheInfamousEDP" is still active.[6]
