The Untold Truth Of To Catch A Predator

- Many viewers found the reality show To Catch a Predator quite satisfying, as it would draw in sexual offenders and turn them over to law enforcement. However, not everyone was a fan. Some found it too exploitative, while others thought it did more harm than good, including some judges who threw cases out due to the show's part in leading to an arrest.
NBC eventually decided to bring the Dateline segment to an end. But host Chris Hansen has worked hard to get it back on the air, despite issues in his personal life. Let’s take a look at the untold truth of To Catch a Predator.

A pedo is a pedo. I don't care If they begged them to come over. Any normal person wouldn't have driven 2 hours to go knock the door of a 12 year old.
LuNaTiC GR they deserve to be punished, but broadcasting it for the world to see and treating the pedos like animals is completely inhumane
Yahtzee you know what else is inhumane? fucking children.
Yahtzee nah, i say expose them all
pedos who act on it are animals.
wtf are you on m8
But the problem is the law where you can't "force" them into the situations but some others say its enticement it depends on the judge and what he/she decides on it.
Chris Hansen had an affair with a 30 year old. You can't compare that with trying to have a sexual tryst with a 12 year old. NO COMPARISON.
charlotte graham i agree, charlotte
agreed. at the same time though any cheater is a piece of shit. and hansen deserves that blow since he's always hitting below the belt on his program. calling people out on irrelevant things. like on guy had a t-shirt on that was affiliated with MIT and he was a math teacher and hansen said, look at that tshirt he's got on, it's typically worn by students who go to MIT, but [predator name] didn't go to MIT he went to a SMALL college in NY.
charlotte graham no comparison except for that age difference, jesus

If thats how you feel about your kids thats cool, do you bro.
@Random Guy well aren't you an edge Lord! 😂
Chris Hansen in my opinion is a hero. Period.

Don’t cheat on your wife like he did and don’t write bad cheques . That’ll do 👍🏼
"Did To Catch a Predator perform a public service, or was it just another ratings-hungry reality series?"
It was both. Those two things are not necessarily in conflict.
Finally, someone with common sense.
I hate people that ask ultimatum questions like that, good comment
Absolutely
yes
If anything about this is ratings hungry then they are not doing it for the right reasons to actually solve a problem or heal it has to because you want to not because of money or tv or any other reason other wise your not helping at all.
I see nothing wrong
Chris Hansen have a seat right over there
Chris Hansen i have some questions for you....
Chris Hansen keep up the great work
Please put down your phone
Well I think you have to see something wrong talking to a girl you think is 13 years old sir
I don't care if they did it for money as long as you catch pedophiles ....I dont care about exposing pedophiles . f'em
exactly 👏🏽💯
I swear man...every tv show wants ratings but somehow it was seen as negative. This is the only country that can turn child molesters into victims
no one here or on this show turns "child molesters into victims". STFU and STFD.
learn to write in complete sentences and spell check. I don't know what you're trying to say whereas I got my point across.
if your point is, your a dumb fuck, then yes, your point is made bitch boy
Toss this whole video out, your points are wack. Chris Hansen did a movement on Internet safety for young girls/boys and the public
My guy, i love the show. But the fact you want someone to take a video out shows how insecure you are about your opinion. This video highlighted the other side of the coin beatifully. You getting mad over it and react in a fanboyish way doesn't help its case
Have a seat over there plz 👉🏻
This show should have never ended. It was a great deterrent for sickos and super entertaining.
It wouldn't have if Chris and his crew knew how to manage money. He is in jail for bounced checks used for the show (like high class Hotels etc).
If he would have settled down for cheaper Motels and co he might be still in Business with a show / gather money for a 3rd reinstallment.
Maybe when he Comes out of jail… but he also is responsible for cyber crime by falseflagging other catch a predator youtuber formats that were not made by him.
ForumcoldiArchon His charges were dropped
At least two people were caught by the show twice. Many of the people who were caught after the show became popular were familiar with the show. Many even suspected that they were being set up. How exactly do you define "Deterrent"?
Chris Hansen has a pretty interesting show here on CZcams if you're interested. I've been enjoying it.
Predators know better than to walk into houses now
YOU TALKING SMACK ABOUT ME?
Lol!
Are the cookies ok?
Try again
Oh no it's Chris Hansen!
Nope.😀
you know what? i dont want this cookie..
but i made it for you special (watches you intently)
I always wondered if those cookies were any good or not
What? No way.

No,please...have a seat,lol
Are we supposed to feel sorry for predators? They are removing people that are dangerous for children, good job!
Exactly. Chris is a hero.
y'all got something wrong in your head? You just saw the consequences of having a show like this. It was in fact counter productive. All in the name of views and ratings to make money. Hansen is no hero, he just thinks you're enough of a shmuck.
@@TheDerrickLipschitz Okay predator
@@TheDerrickLipschitz you cant blame Hansen for this. it the choice of the predators. Nobody force them to come. sooo
I don't feel bad for them but this isn't the way to do it and most we're setup. How many times do I have to point out about what happened to their families. You cant turn a blind eye just because of them being a predator. I want them put away too but not like this. AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! What do you think happened to their children at school? How about their wives. Lots of cant even get a job. Put them a way but not by plastering their face all over the word so NBC can get a profit.
aannnd I’m done with this channel...
I don't give a shit if it was ratings-centric or sketchy. It was entertaining, and publicly put shitty people on blast, which was awesome.
How many kids would otherwise got hurt without that program ? I still remember the guy that had his trunk full of "kidnapping" materials, with horror.
In the end, that show did way more good than harm.
+Roberth Pilesund
exactly. maybe it made some creep think twice and decide to not go to some ACTUAL kid's house.
Exactly. i liked the show
johnmburt1960 Your point?
johnmburt1960: Agreed, entertainment value should not be the forefront of anybody's mind. I just want bad people stopped. Do some honest detection, prove if the suspect has criminal intent, bag him. I don't need to see the justice _unfold_ to serve my own hunger. The show felt cringy to me and the only reason these people sought out children was to serve their own urge I doubt they had much control over.
I'm aware the States doesn't much help rehabilitate or improve most criminals in any way, but the show need only focus on the capturing, not the luring, or the gloating from the host.
Cheating on your wife is bad , but being a predator is obviously worse. It didn't ruin the shows creditability.
Yeah his personal infidelities don't make him a hypocrite, people act like he hosted "to catch an adulterer".
what the guy forgot to mention in the video is that the woman he was cheating on was 21 years younger then him. Thats where the show credibility could come into question.
***** thats true but Hanson has made the argument in a lot of these cases of asking the men " Cant you find a girl your own age " and with this getting out those words lose credibility.
***** the predators could use the argument that Hanson is no different from them messing around with a woman that's MUCH younger then him and ABC dose not want that plausibility used ageist there star reporter for these investigation.
***** /Facepalm.... you have a one track mind dont you..... No one is defending pedophiles
"On a segment similar to his own" is it me or is cheating on your wife for another WOMAN and cheating on your wife for a KID completely different
I was about to comment on that point. You're right; Hanson had an affair. BFD! What, the Network cared about Moral$?!
But it does look bad, as the guy passes like the most moral and law abiding dude and all, then he goes cheating on his wife. Looks kinda awkward.
@Danica Ingrao yeah but it's seen badly by people. Especially from someone making a career out of teaching moral lessons and avoid wrong sexual desires and all
@@JSB-2Z-2K Cheating on your wife is totally different than raping an underage child.
Cheating on your wife is breaking a promise. Raping an underage child is raping an underage child
Not really...Cheaters are SCUM
This was a fantastic series...these adults had no business talking to children in such an explicit manner, and exposed a very serious issue. I hope that Hansen vs Predator keeps doing more episodes.
They had no business talking to someone that young period.
Honestly i just like to see the look on the guys faces when they get caught
+Bill Maze ...does it matter?
Trundeling Porpoise I dunno, but be honest.
+dmed what's wrong with that?
The problem is that they are not caught doing anything....there was no actual crime because the scenario did not allow for anything illegal...Just because they "thought" they were about to do something illegal doesn't mean its a crime when no underage person was involved.
so you would rather them have sex with children tell they one day if ever get caught.sorry but letting that happen is all kinds of wrong. when you can put an actor that looks like a kid be in a chat room and let the perverts start the chat then let him start talking about sex then the pervert wants to come over.comes inside and the police are waiting sounds much better to me. if your kid was in this Scenario at what point would you call the cops? when you found out an adult was knowingly having chat sex with your little girl?when you find out that the guy hasn't touched her yet but has been talking with her outside after school?well maybe it will take you coming home and finding the guy having sex with your kid or worse yet you come home and your kid is gone? .....the fact is it is not real to me but it is damn sure very real to the guys they step inside that door its game over they broke a few laws. this show might have stopped a murder or rapes of children..thats how this show got started victims and familys of victims started this
That show was funny. Him reading their chats, them bringing weird shit, and the cops tackling the shit out of them lol.
Chris : Did you say " I can't wait to tongue that little butthole like a Hershey kiss ? "
Pedophile : * awkwardly * yea
The best episodes were the first ones where the pedophiles think they can just walk out and go home.
Rob Lena yes! Hanson always makes it seem they are free to go and "he won't stop them" lol
This shit made me bust out laughing.
the first ones they actually DID get to walk out and go home. Before they got the police involved.

"A segment similar to his own?". A cheating spouse is nowhere near a paedophile crime.
thats just what a cheating spouse would say
TheTenthHead
So explain how being unfaithful to your wife is similar to having sex with children. Note: one is illegal one isn’t.
To be fair, adultery was illegal for a long time, and probably still should be. That said, statutory rape is definitely far worse than nefarious consensual sex.
Coupledyeti Vonvanderburg
In the USA adultery is still is illegal (usually a misdemeanour with a tiny fine), whereas in Europe it is mostly legalised. On the other hand, sex with a minor is illegal everywhere (except the Muslim world) and even can carry a life sentence.
It's not illegal in all states. Only some states.
The guy that killed himself was a district attorney...That's probably why he did it.
Mark Gray pedophiles are everywhere, ESPECIALLY in the higher tiers of society. #PIZZAGATE
Absolutely
Occupy Edge bro saying pizza gate is just like saying Russians hacked the election.
Have you seen how many arrests have been made around the country in the past months?
Multibears fan No, dumbass, no. Pizzagate is real, ever read the Podesta e-mails? Russian hacking is a charade to get people's minds off of the pizzagate investigation.. and thanks to many gullible dumbasses it worked!
I mean so many of the people caught admitted to being scared of literally being on the show. So I'd say it's effective.. even though... they still showed up. I just mean at least it struck fear into predators and possibly prevented some from taking that step and making the drive to the house. Plus it's entertaining as crap to watch lol
@CriticalThinkerZ no offense but the fact they actually showed up to the house in the first place is reason enough for them to get heat for it
stopped them from going to that house, that time. Bless the lord for CH stopping an imaginary child from being abused. Now how about the rest after? have any sympathy for them?
They wouldn't be doing this in the first place anyway if they had common sense
Service or ratings?
Yes, and yes.
So what?
Why u tryna dig up dirt on me ;-;
Snake Eyes True
Said no one ever. Nope. Not even close.
No one is denying that women are predators too. Just that there aren't as many as there are male predators
Why Don't you take a seat over there Chris.
Chris is a cheater
1. Don't go meet underage kids over the internet for sex.
Easy steps for no ending up on the show.
its called entrapment. look up "The Stanford Prison Experiment"... people change their behaviors based upon what environment and social situation they are placed in.
nunya baznus I feel kinda funny about the idea of entrapment. Its like saying its OK to do something THAT YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND IS ILLEGAL as long as you were tricked into it by law enforcement or the government... like really? That sounds nutty. Its almost like the idea implies that if anyone was given the opportunity who knew the laws then in the same situation, they'd have sex with underage people. Um... no... I do understand there is a rule against entrapment, I just think its stupid. Maybe there is something I'm missing, but when someone says "hey this is illegal, do not ever do that" and you decide "hey, I'm going to do that thing"... come on...
DragonCharlz
... its like a nerdy high school student thats invited to join a group of older cooler kids and they pressure him into taking a puff of a joint, then arresting only him for doing drugs. .. its ignoring the ones that are the root cause of the problem and just creating a crime where there was none before. its pointless and doesn't accomplish anything.
entrapment??? oh god quit protecting them with the excuses.
nunya baznus That's a bullshit example. These guys go into chat rooms looking to fuck children and then go expecting to fuck children. The student in your example goes to hang out with older kids, but that could mean anything.
"NBC is only obsessed with getting ratings"
-- CBS host looking for ratings
I thought the same thing. Dude was probably thinking “why didn’t i think of this first?”
You are a legend Chris Hansen! You prevented so many predators from potentially causing harm to minors. People don’t realise how much influence this guy had. He saved lives from being ruined
Yeah, fake lives. Lol
Haha good one. But you know what I mean.
Exactly, he prevented nothing. It was all an elaborate trap with fabricated "13 year olds."
I give him credit in preventing some lives but in the grand scale all that he did was earn lots of dollars in the process. In fact predators seeing the show might refine their methods.
Bori Slav bet you talk to 13 year olds
I live in area where it's said there is a pedophile in 1 of every 3 homes. I think it's bad here, but not that bad. To my left is a lovely elderly couple. To my right is a younger couple with a hot 9 year old.

@dorothydreams oftornadoes Except that guy in the 2:17 section who committed suicide after the crew just went straight to the guy's house instead of waiting for him to take the situation offline.
It should be common knowledge that there are people who say they will do something while online but once they have to physically engage with it offline, reality hits and they don't actually do it.
What they did was irresponsible and undermines the show's purpose as a collection of undeniable evidence for successfully prosecuting a methodical pedophile.
Why do you think the 3:14 court case was thrown out? They acted too hastily, recklessly, and presumptuously. Didn't get enough evidence? Criminal will get away and learn to be more careful. Others will learn to be less fearful as they aren't thorough enough to win every court case.
@@LC-cp5lz You do realise the dude at 2:17 had already broken the law, right? His conversation online was already enough to arrest him.

Were you really trying to equate a married man having an affair with grown men attempting to have sex with minor girls?
yup. pretty disgusting.
I don't think he personally was equating the two actions but voicing what others were saying.
no but something he forgot to mention was that the woman was like 22 years younger than him. while still of legal age, i remember everyone going crazy about that shit when it first came to light. calling it ironic and all kinds of crap.
Really no excuse by saying 'I'm just voicing what others are saying' when you're making a HUGE accusation like that.
Jesus fuck people try to get offended over anything.
Whether it was a ratings thing or not, it exposed, shamed and put away pigs of society
Any dude that shows up to a house where there are teenagers alone deserves to be jailed! End of story!
that is an incredibly flawed argument - with a parent friend, teacher, or anybody else whom you know and are comfortable with appears, that’s obviously not illegal bc you know and trust them. if they used that trust to exploit you, it would be wrong. however, when these pedophiles show up to the residences of teenagers without that relationship or trust, or are planning to exploit whatever relationship they may have, that’s illegal. it’s not illegal for an adult man to show up at a teenager’s house when said teen or child is alone, but it is if they attempt to force their way in/convince the child to let them inside. either way it’s incredibly creepy.
What if it's my sister
Naked Snake then he doesn’t fit the example that the OP is saying. OP is implying an older man without a relationship to the teenagers (who can be male or female).
They’re just fortunate it’s Chris Hansen that confronts them and not a pissed off dad
Chris actually didn’t actually save any kids’ lives as all the predators he caught was on a setup environment and there was no argument to prove that those predators would’ve actually raped the kids in real life scenarios, that’s why all the cases were dismissed by the court. Courts give verdict only for happened incidents not for incidents which are assumed or more likely to take place !!
But , crimes that Chris did were of measurable nature in real life with no setups and there are no reasons they could be justified by his “so-called” good deeds which actually didn’t achieve any real life good for any single kid.
Chris Hansen should start a new series - "To Catch a Predator: Vatican City."
No, then the Pope would be caught and that wouldn't be good for his image.
Bro. This isn't a daily TV series. They only need one person every few weeks.
Big mouth lol
Set the whole city on fire 🤣
Lol..... shit they couldn't keep up
If you don’t want to be shown as a child predator on television, don’t be a child predator.
"To Catch a Predator caused a suicide of a predator."
*G O O D ! ! !*
@Karmacoma issa loss for me bc i couldn't be the one to kill him
Totally I mean people really need to see it in the way that it's either a predator gets to a child and traumatises him or her for life and their family, or either even does it for years until he gets caught and kills himself in jail and potentially traumatises multiple children , I do understand that for these people's family it's also tragic either way and I absolutely consider the fact that these people have some sort of disorder and need to get a therapy, but in the end most cases are lost cases ...
Completely agree! tbh I’m pro death penalty for convicted peadophiles ! If they know what they’re doing is wrong and chosen to do it anyway. Instead of handing themselves in to get help (although I don’t believe they can really be rehabilitated.) then in my opinion they should be shot. They are the rot in society. To put it another way. If you had an apple tree and part of it began to decay. Would you let the decay spread and destroy the other apples? No you’d get rid of the rot! End
w7lves what episode was it
@@hughballs idk lel
Chris is awesome, does a great job.
only in modern America do we attack shows that expose sexual predators.
Trump is the president. It's pretty obvious Americans have no fucking clue.
We attack the show because of its vigilante justice. They decide who is guilty, that is not how american law works. These men might be pedophiles, but purely being a pedophile is not illegal. Having sex with someone underage is illegal. These men were trying to do something illegal but never did it. In America, for the most part, that means it is not illegal. The show also ruins these men's lives, which is why people sue them. There is a strong argument to be made that it was the adraneline rush of getting a child to agree to have sex with you, which is not illegal, and then going to the house is just a stronger adrenaline rush. These men might have no desire to have sex, but could just like the idea of it, and that is not harmful to someone nor is it illegal.
i smell a lawsuit
so attempted murder and attempted robbery is legal?
Trump being president doesnt have anything to do with unconvicted pedophiles.
"I feel sorry for these child molesters." - No One Ever
They're individuals. Some of them are monsters, and some of them are sad, confused people that are trying to find their way out. It's not their choice to be like that.
Its not pedophiles' choice to be attracted to younger people specifically. That's what I was getting at
Its obviously their choice to act on those feelings but the feelings themselves weren't chosen. In some instances maybe its "easy pussy" but there's a difference between a guy looking for easy pussy and someone legitimately attracted to younger, maybe prepubescent girls.
The original comment was talking about pedophiles
The comment was about child molesters tho
Chris Hansen is a legend, a true servant of the public. This purile and sad attempt to defame him is filth.
Hey, a predator is a predator. Whatever, it only shows one thing a lot of predators lurking around the media, law enforcement etc.thats why there's no support, they killed the show.
the forces behind the pedophilia ring is huge and powerful. they'd do anything to stop any breaking of the chain

Negative attention my arse. This show is a justice to all the children out there who are abused by these sick twisted people. There should be more "NAME AND SHAME" shows like this to take these scum off our streets.
While I think it's safe to say we all feel that it is wrong, it does beg the question, that if these "children" are actively looking for sex, how much of a predator are you if the bait comes running to your arms?
While I like the idea that children should remain children and keep their innocence as long as possible, not that long ago in human history was the age of consent MUCH lower. It was not considered immoral for a 14 year old to marry and start a family. Not condoning any behavior, but just pointing out some food for thought. What exactly is a predator, what makes it immoral, and are we simply indoctrinated that this is wrong or is it truly wrong?
+Namron9797 I hear you mate, so true :)
+namron9797 I think you're absolutely right but sadly can we at least count on adults to act like adults? I figured someone would at least say "this is inappropriate therefore I will no longer engage in any conversion/whatever with you." I don't doubt some teenagers are looking for sex, I'm not surprised since hormones make them go crazy but I think an adult has more common sense
PreyForForgiveness
You'd be surprised what people will do when they think no one is looking or will find out. Humans are the most depraved creatures to have walked this planet.
It would be doing more justice for children if they would catch the real sickos, the millionaire & billionaire paedo-sadists who produce child porn and take child see slaves but that'd be too much work and not as profitable of a TV series
Is this some kind of setup or something?
You know what.. i don't want this cookie anymore
this comment is cute, built good
If Chris Hansen came up with the concept, then he's a genius.
Sounds like pedos protecting pedos.
exactly
As many mistakes as they made in "To Catch A Predator", it definitely spread awareness to citizens and fear among pedophiles. In "Hanson vs Predator" many of the predators were far more hesitant to go because they had watched the show.
The vast majority of child molestation is committed by someone the child knows, usually a family member. All this did was perpetuate the idiotic stereotype that your child will be safe if you keep him away from creepy guys with white vans, and add to it an irrational fear of all interaction over the internet.
Matthew Hinchberger does not happen? That is wrong
+Yonkage , +Matthew Hinchberger +TheProclaimed it does happen. Some girls lie about their age on adult dating sites, it's happened to a friend of mine. Also when I was A young teenager there were always a few girls with boyfriends between 18-35 at 13 yrs old. Almost every school would have a teacher who would date underage girls. It's much harder now for them to get away with it because of the "Over-Hyped" fear.
It didn't used to happen over the internet. Mainly because the internet wasn't so huge 15 or so years ago.
I have a stepsister who wound up _marrying_ the bald ugly pedo in her life. (He got her knocked up.) No internet involved.
Your analogy doesn't really work. The predator trolling method, to my knowledge, simply involves registering a profile on an adult website with a child's age... or going into chat and saying something to the effect of "i'm 13 lel"
Which would more or less equate to said drug sting cop saying to a crowd "excuse me, sirs and madams, would any of you care to partake in some... drugs?"
What ??? Why would anyone have a problem with this show, they were doing a civil service.
Because it's utterly exploitative?
A show like that would certainly never fly in Europe.
I'm disliking this video, cause it gives me the impression that Looper thinks the show is morally bankrupt in some sort of nefarious, yet nebulous way. However, pretty much everything here seems like a positive.
Sounds like all the complaints are coming from people afraid they'll be exposed next lol
Justin Graves no the show just sucks
Grow the fuck up, you spastic. People should be allowed to critize things without being accused of being pedophiles. Just because some might object to the certain way some things are being done or the motives of some reality show, doesn't mean you have to immediately accuse them of being kid rapists, ya fuckin brick brain piece of shit.
Haha a lot of predictors on this comment 😂😂😂
Yep
You miss the point that some underage boys and girls want to have sex with people they meet online. This TV show did nothing to stop,that because there were no real underage people involved, at all, in anyway.
Chris got caught with a beautiful lady,ok cheating on his Wife,but that's nothing like those perverts,he be nabbing.I like Chris.
And its Not even Entrapment. If you read the chatlogs it goes like this
Decoy: *Builds a MySpace accnt. Puts 13 on age*
Pedo: *Barges in outa nowhere* Cool if a 34 yr old Talks to you?
Decoy: Sure.
Pedo: Do you masturbate? Any hair down their?
Decoy: I suppose.
Pedo: Dont tell your parents. Oh and are you a cop?
@Jeremy Gavilan you wouldn't say this if the majority of the people caught were Black.
Jeremy Gavilan but they do try to take advantage of kids
Ah ha, I bet Chris got caught on Cheaters! This was his revenge. Lol
Jeremy Gavilan you’re stupid bro they deserve it for trying to entice a minor
Plot twist: Chris Hansen being caught on Cheaters??
I do believe those "watchdog" groups that chat with the predators are sickos themselves.
Wow, the people commenting below defending or saying that these people committed no crime. What the actual fuck. Intent is intent. If this wasn't a sting operation, who knows who's child could have been raped and/or killed
Let's give a little reality check on your integrity.
I think you're aware that most comments refer to these men as "sick fucks", "disgusting" and "deserving to die."
No one's actually saying that these "pedoes" haven't committed a crime.
The question at hand is, is the motivation of TCaP to protect the public or to gain favors as a t. v. series?
vids2002 that shitty logic goes both ways. If there wasn't a sting operation, who knows if these people would have ever gotten invited to a kids house (the answer is likely no, judging by the amount of reported instances of this unlikely crime fabricated by dateline)
They are sick fucks, disgusting, and deserve to die.
As paraded the 1950's homophobic bigots.
See how easy that was?
The crime was the entrapment by the pigs.
The show was a service. Every one of those men name, shamed and charged was a predator. I don't care what methods they used to get them.
Then you are a fascist who is many times more dangerous and immoral then the men you are talking about. Due process is a seriously important facet of justice, and to allow if you "don't care what methods they used" then you are justifying a fascist police state that has the right to do anything. Good thing we have a constitution to protect us from authoritarian self righteous morons like yourself.
You sound like you're defending the predators lmao
bucket foot-bullshit. those guys were caught dead to rights trying to fuck under aged kids. they put their necks in the noose to satisfy their own perversions. don't blame the people trying to get them off the street and away from kids. you're very foolish if you think they're innocent and i hope your kids never experience what these creeps are capable of. fascism? bullshit. they didn't drag them out in the street and stone them to death (although, that's not a bad idea) they went to jail . you are truly an idiot if you think that.
NO ONE IS DEFENDING PEDOPHILES
What people are arguing is that even though they're caught in the act, we can't just go and off someone because of a fucking tv show. The U.S has a thing called due process. Murderers go through it, thieves go through it, and yes surprise surprise PEDOPHILES GO THROUGH DUE PROCESS TOO! I don't get how any sane person can use "The end justifies the means" bullshit. You know who uses that logic? ISIS, you know who else used it? The KKK.
I'm not saying what the pedophiles did was right, but what I am saying is that you're worse than the pedophiles for ignoring basic human rights.
+zippity
Since the pedophiles are at fault for getting caught is it safe to say that it's the minor's fault for getting molested? Serious question because by your logic the answer is yes.
stefano crispi- even you are calling them pedophiles. so you know they're guilty too. think about that. in cases like this-all the justice system does is give them the chance to waste tax payer money, get a slap on the wrist and boom-they're back out there doing it again.please don't twist my words around to suit your misinformed logic. the victims are never to blame. no kid deserves this- no matter how curious they are or lonely or whatever their issue is. they're inexperienced and don't fully understand the danger they put themselves in. you're really ignorant for saying that.and you have a warped mind-please don't speak to me again-i'm not wasting any more words on the likes of a manipulative child rapist supporter.
Creepys like that deserve to be publicly humiliated
I got a Glock 19 that I nicknamed Chris Hansen, nuff said.
@@lifeandsea651 Damn
life and sea did a real life fatality on synchromorph. jesus.
synchromorph moron i have an IQ of 143 and I think you’re a complete idiot
@synchromorph Lol you really love defending pedophiles hey?
“Did to Catch a Predator perform a public service, or was it just another ratings- hungry reality series?”
These aren’t mutually exclusive concepts.
Technically no, but the word "just" implies that.
So taking out predators is now controversial? What is wrong with people nowadays?
Attack Helicopter Well in Texas not one of the people caught were charged. All this video pointed out was the issues the show had. It never said it didn't do a good service, just showed stuff people might not have known.
Attack Helicopter
Maybe try watching the video next time numbnuts?
Taking out pedos is all well and good but the method is slippery as Looper did provide the question of whether entrapment is possible.
Should the media really be doing this shit, especially since it lines their pockets based on the ratings?
Think about it for more than a second
Hats off to CHRIS HANSON.. A BIG SHOUT OUT !!!
“You see how this looks”
Brilliant show. They need to start airing more episodes.
They have. The latest episode aired last night.
I totally agree...
The new season started about a month ago. It was funded by kick-starter. It's called "Hansen vs Predator".
yeah its a segment on a show called crime watch daily that he hosts
Did you even watch the video? It mentions both Hanson vs Predator and Crime Watch Daily.
Alot of pedophiles admitted of being so scared to be caught in that show. So It was working and minimizing crimes against innocent children 👍
Most importantly, that show help shed light on the danger of online sexual predators and catfishes
@@romelo1201 this generation has no childhood. Why a kid is on social media anyway?
True datt
They were scared because their lives got ruined.
Thank you for the "behind-the-scenes deetahls."
Imagine that some people don't want them prosecuted, and we call these people child fiddlers.
Regardless if he cheated on his wife. That was his personal business. Not ours. We were in no way harmed because of his screw up.
However, if a predator is in our towns preying on our children then that is our business.
Those that claim that they were "set up" or "yeah, spend lots of $ to lock them up" or even that Hansen spent donated $ to do the show ... I think I'd rather see predators caught & put behind bars no matter the $.
Are you going to put a price on your kids to keep them safe?
There is no telling that if these had not of been decoys, what would have actually happened if they were children.
The way that I see it is that at least one child has been saved from a lifetime of mental torment.
The USA is the only non-Islamic/Western Hemispheric country who thinks adultery is of any concern beyond the family circle. It's rooted in this country's obsession with taking religion out of the churches and applying its outmoded standards to secular matters.
Troy Evitt Religion is the only means of just. It’s common sense to NOT CHEAT ON YOUR SPOUSE THAT YOU VOWED TO BE WITH FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE UNTIL DEATH. I didn’t know that they hold these sorts of ceremonies for pedophiles too.
If you want safety you should donate to psychologists trying to solve the problem. It’s like trying to individually squish the fleas on my dog rather than treating it with medicine to get rid of all of them
Ramadan Steve wow never thought of it that way.
When married people cheat on their spouses we as a society are harmed by this , because of our apathy, the moral fabric our country was built on is breaking down more every day. We almost have no moral compass. A lot of people have become cheaters, liars and downright disgusting, thieves, and pilagers. And those who have children are teaching this to their kids, inadvertently. Hey but who cares right because it's none of our business......SMDH....
What I think of to catch a predator??? I think it's friggin awesome!!'
Lps Renegade u said it
*thought
Yep. It is good they catch such people
So yeah.
What's wrong with a show being money hungry ? It's a show.
If they didn't want money they could've just done this without being on tv.
It's almost like perverted justice was doing this BEFORE Dateline contacted them. Oh gee
He was arrested today for bouncing checks. More like "how to catch a debtor".
Yep, Hansen the SCUMBAG!!!
Cheque 😊
Sharky165 yikes
The horror he should locked away
Chris Hanson is a legend respect bro
INDEED
The suicide was in Texas where it is illegal to have sexual chats with presumed minors, regardless if they meet or not.
It was a great show. I’m proud of them for doing it. They helped open a lot of people’s eyes and probably contributed to the education of many adults, in turn helping protect a lot of minors nation wide.
The impact of the show doesn't just helped American viewers. Global viewers also learnt a lot about how child predators target their "prey".
Chris actually didn’t actually save any kids’ lives as all the predators he caught was on a setup environment and there was no argument to prove that those predators would’ve actually raped the kids in real life scenarios, that’s why all the cases were dismissed by the court. Courts give verdict only for happened incidents not for incidents which are assumed or more likely to take place !!
But , crimes that Chris did were of measurable nature in real life with no setups and there are no reasons they could be justified by his “so-called” good deeds which actually didn’t achieve any real life good for any single kid.
Jerry, you’re a very disgusting individual to defend child molesters. A number of those guys arrested are repeat offenders, meaning they already committed the act once. The show exposed their intent. It’s that simple. They deserve what ever miserable life they have after their arrest.
Michael From Kentucky - I didn’t defend anyone , I uphold the justice system you fool !! Justice can be served only for crimes which took place or crimes which are on the verge of taking place in real life !! Not for futuristic scenarios !!
And Crime history has nothing to do with it !!
And Intent - Really ? Do you think a person can be punished for his intentions? Are you that much stupid !!
Crime is not to have just intentions , but when your intentions develop into real life actions in REAL LIFE (not setup) scenarios that’s how crimes are weighted in courts .
The D.A. should be thanking them for exposing these creeps!
1000000% agreed.
well this is awkward. time to change my profile name
hey chris
You got fat.
Agree. Chris should check out online dieting sites.
Please, have a seat.
cause thats how special you are to me and thats how much i love you
i get giddy as hell just hearing about hansen vs predator.
Ha ha, nice one sir.
JJDBaca no.....no....no....no
heh heh heh. You guys are great.
DeadPool Junior. Then why did it stop at five episode
You get gidy and the predator gets gigity
Chris Hansen is a legend, whoever doesnt like the show are just predators or future predators themselves

Jerry TCAP saves future children from being targeted by those same men. And most predators were convicted not dismissed. A very ignorant comment
NumBxDino :3 lol😂😂😂
Tyrell Lopez they were dismissed as per NBC as the show used entrapment- other than who pleaded guilty .
Tyrell Lopez Future ? Really ? - Do you think courts press charges against crimes which are assumed to happen in future ?
Who is ignorant now !!!
We love Chris Hansen you keep doin what you do. Keep thes pedos of the street man.

This is our 200th video! Thanks for watching and subscribing to our channel, we couldn't have gotten this far without you. Let us know how you first discovered Looper!
it says this video is private when I try to watch
Been here since 80k, think I found looper through a screen rant video. Love your content.
Keep em coming!
Thanks for being a fan since early on, Ob Wan Cannoli!
I found you in my recommended feed and never turned back. Congrats!
I think you’re defending the predators by bashing Cris Hansen. Give your head a shake
synchromorph not at all, he’s name is Scott as in MICHAEL SCOTT
So if I help track down predators, no one can bash me without defending them as well... sounds like a master plan.
@synchromorph +1
@synchromorph r/im15andthisisdeep. We get it, you hate your parents and you get bullied a lot in school.
@synchromorph >I would have stomped you >you're hiding behind a computer screen. Yeah you were either bullied hard or were a bully. Probably both since you talk mad shit to everyone and cry when you get it back.
My favorite show. Whenever I'm having a bad day, I watch a few episodes to remind myself it could be worse
Chris:*makes out with another woman*
Wife:*appears from nowhere* "why don't you take a seat, honey."
Chris:*blushes* 😳😳😳😳 "sweetie I swear, she was already trying to make a move on me barely 18 minutes in!!!"
Did they just equate Chris Hansen cheating on his wife to sex with a minor?
A fucking slime ball is a slime ball.
I wouldn't consider it . entrapment. In all of these cases, the person caught was the who initiated the convo, & they had evidence of their plans. One guy even got caught twice.
a day after he got caught & had a court date, in fact. the naked dude turned into the McD's 'I was getting something to eat!' dude. Fucker. They need to play this show on a continuous loop in prisons so the other prisoners see what they look like in case one of them shows up some day...
I suppose that's how it began but I'm really suspicious of how it went about later.. like did they begin enticing people when the inflow subsided?
The main reason why it's not entrapment is because law enforcement doesn't interact with these people until they've already committed a crime.
Perverted Justice operated with or without the police or the show. NBC, Perverted Justice, and the police operated in concert with one another for TCAP, but these were never instances of law enforcement enticing anyone to break the law. In the states the show operated in, it was illegal to solicit sex from a minor. These men committed a crime in the privacy of their own homes. Once they ended up on the doorstep of a person they thought was a child, they were basically digging a deeper grave. The police were merely there lying in wait.
"Two words: Roleplaying Chatroom"
@@kajiko88 Which one?
This show should be on national TV forever. Period.
If it ended with predators being arrested idgaf if they were operating with little to no journalistic integrity.
The whole publicly exposed thing is kinda BS, if they were busted in a normal police sting they'd have to register as a sex offender and that info would be public anyways.
kyle Benjamin EXACTLY!
kyle Benjamin the guys that were busted in this show are indeed registering sex offenders.
I live in a state where the age of consent is 16 and sex offenders aren't required to publicly announce it and I believe if you go to prison and serve your time it should end there once you get out you shouldn't be put on some list and loss your rights
kyle Benjamin kinda weird that they're working hand in hand with the police tho 🤔 so your point is invalid
kyle Benjamin Most of these guys were well aware that they could be met by Chris Hansen but they showed up anyway
"Why don't you have a seat right there.'
Guys remember he hid a microphone under a leaf. The production quality was 11/10
its pretty much like comparing someone who stole 2$ while no one was looking vs someone that stole 20K in an armed robery
I didn't find the show entertaining due to its dark subject matter. But I think the shows producers had good intentions. And the criminals definitely needed to be caught.
Is like if someone showed off offering me a joint for free, then I let him in my house but before Im given any weed I get arrested for drug posesion instead.
No, it's more in line with you offering to give a kid some drugs, arrange to meet said kid at his/her home when you know their parents won't be around, then when you arrive you get arrested for trying to give FUCKING DRUGS TO A KID.
These people were preying on children, trying to orchestrate some sort of sexual situation with kids.
But for the sake of your stupid argument, if having an intention of acquiring marijuana is illegal then regardless of if you got set up by a tv show, you would have still been breaking the law.
Bryan They have convos, digital documentation of their gross intentions too. So what the fuck with this "enticement" shit? The decoys don't initiate, nor do they push. They only respond.
Christian_Country_Boy I love Jesus Christ! I love Jesus Christ
Quinn Ingrassia How so?
What is the problem, he is catching these sick things. They aren’t forced into anything they make a choice to groom an underage child. I just wish the legal system took a harsher view and locked them up forever
Lana E ... Agree with that... Peoples lives LITERALLY gets Destroyed by those DISGUSTING excuses for "people". So yeah.
No Sympathy here! *.*
Lana E you can only except so much from Texas
And waste fuck loads of money just too keep someone in a cell... yay
Better not use any illegal drugs though!
Amazingly, junkies get more time than these fucking sickos
Would you say the same if the show wasn't aired but rather just shown to local law enforcement.
Entrapment is not the case here. The crime kicks in when the actor is found by evidence predisposed to commit the crime anyway. The fact that the police set up a house to complete the arrest is irrelevant.
How can anyone object to methods used to catch sexual predators?? There is no question that this show performs a public service. To think otherwise, it's absolutely insane.
