Five men from Oklahoma, Missouri and California are in custody following a child predator sting operation run by police in Miami, Oklahoma.

Investigators said Thomas Gissell, William Goode, Jonathan Hall, Michael Lamb and Dylan Uhl all contacted someone they thought was an underage girl on social media.

However, the "girl" was actually an undercover officer.

The men sent nude images of themselves to the "girl" and tried to get "her" to send nudes to them, investigators said.

Police said Goode and Lamb also talked to the "girl" about meeting for sex.
