Dateline catching pedophiles again!

[Golgo-13]

I just finish watching MSNBC airing of that big internet predator sting, and Chris was so cool as can be! If you haven't seen this episode of Dateline it airs tonight on MSNBC at 11:00pm again. It's so hilarious how these sick perverts take off running when they show up for the sting operation thinking they're there to meet a teenage boy or girl and Chris cooly walks out from the closet...!!!!

On a serious note: A lot of these perverts are pillars of the community, so beware. The group that helped put this sting operation together is known as 'Pervertedjustice.com'. They're a group that pose as underage children then turn the transcripts over to the authorities to nail these pedophile bastards. They even post a pic and the transcript of the suspect and the alleged child on there website:

[JLBats]

Yeah, the naked guy part was disturbing.

[Golgo-13]

What was funny was that they stung that exact same guy the next day, doing it again, and Chris said, "I've been in television for 25 years, and i have never been in a loss for words!" as the guy kept saying "...i just came to get something to eat"!

[The Last Meatbag]

I saw that, then the next day the naked guy goes to a mcdonalds

"I WAS ONLY GETTING SOMETHING TO EAT!!!"

[StorminNorman]

Wow, people really do watch MSNBC.

[The Last Meatbag]

it was on dateline on NBC

[Golgo-13]

It airs again on MSNBC tonight at 11:00pm.

[Rasmon Redux]

Hanson? didn't they sing "mmmmBop" back in the day?

"where's the love?"

[LastSunrise1981]

I just finished watching it myself. The Rabbi and the Naked Guy were equally the most disturbing in my opinion.

[The Last Meatbag]

I thought the army guy who was twitching was creepy, I felt bad for most of them though, they're ****ed up

[X-Ray]

when chris and his crew drive up along the side of one the pervs who took off running ...... lol :D

but what's really scary was that one of the guys was a high school teacher. Note was, becuz he got fired after this special first aired.

[Arcturus]

Sick ****ers.

[Golgo-13]

It's on now-i'm recording it!

[LastSunrise1981]

In a sense I feel bad for them and in a way I don't. I feel bad for them because it's like they don't know any better; yet, I don't feel bad for them because they willingly go to a 12 or 13 year olds house and intend on doing physical harm to them.

The doctor seemed a bit naive and not too creepy.

As I said, the rabbi and the naked one really disturbed me and it's people like them that need to be put away or castrated.

But seriously have any of these guys heard women their own age? And if they can't get any, there's always prostitution for them. :o

[Is it Batman?]

Dammit. I hope this is on again. It sounds hilarious in the worst ways.

[Golgo-13]

It ought to be. It's pretty dasmn popular. Go to the link above to see their faces on the site.

[maxwell's demon]

chris was trapped in the closet...

...so he got his gun!

...he was trapped in the closet!

[Golgo-13]

For anyone who missed this special...it's on right now! On MSNBC!

The most pathetic individual was the one who came there and embarassed himself. He looked like he was about to cry, and he swore he would never do that again. The VERY NEXT DAY, PervertedJustice members enticed him to come to a local McDonalds, because the sick freak was under the impression that he was going to meet some minor. WTF? That was pathetic. These individuals should receive the worst punishments from the law, but I doubt that it will happen.

[American Male]

I remember watching this one a couple months back. It was quite entertaining to watch peds getting their faces on network television.

[LastSunrise1981]

They showed the special again at around 7 o'clock and man, it never gets old watching these sick bastards get caught.

Has anyone checked out the PervertedJustice website? There's a lot of those perverted lepers out there on the web obviously, but even I'm shocked by how many of them are out there.

[The Lumberjack]

That chick in the middle is hot.

[Matt]

It's on right now :up:

[Kable24]

I'm watching this right now. This is good stuff.

[Alpha and Omega]

I thought they would have had a police presence on the first show; it's nice to see that they finally brought that element as well.

I know a lot of people think that child-molesters need help, but IMO, they need a smith n' weston projectile to the cranium.:mad: :o

[CConn]

[vindrow]

Cool, can't wait to catch this later tonight.


I always thought it was a good idea to put child molesters in with the general population in prison and either let them kill them or rape them, which ever they want to do.

[Superman79]

You're honestly being too kind, IMO. :o

damn straight...a bullet to the brain is far to quick, they need to suffer a bit more.

Like did you guys see the story about Jetsetta Gage in Iowa? She was 10, raped and suffocated to death by a guy who just got out of jail for molesting a 7 year old. Since Iowa has no death penalty he's gonna (hopefully) get life.

Frankly, I'd like to get that guy in a small windowless room with a lead pipe...I'd show him a thing or two about hurting an innocent little kid...THEN i'd put the bullet in his head...:marv:

[Brodie The Wise]

there was taht one guy who was convicted of molesting a kid, but before he was taken to prison, this guy stabbed him in the chest, so the brother of the childmolester, who claimed he was innocent all along, burned down his house and killed him, his wife, and his three children. Turns out the guy was innocent all along.

[Matt]

Y'know, I like sending these sick ****s to prison. See how they like getting raped.

I just don't get how this doesn't count as entrapment. I mean, the decoys are saying they want sex, right? I don't get how that works, isn't it legally entrapment? How exactly does it work? Are there different laws for internet predators? Not that I mind, just curious.

[DOG LIPS]

Run Master Bruce, ruuunn!!! They're going to arrest you!!

[vindrow]

IF i'm not mistaken its only entrapment if the cop starts the transaction...for example if you have an undercover cop posing as a hooker and she asks the person if he wants sex for money then its entrapment, but if he does it first then it isnt. If anyone has a better handle on this or if I am mistaken, then please correct this.

[Superman79]

This is a looser form of entrapment...technically entrapment is setting up a situation in which to catch the thug red handed...like in possession of drugs, or in this case actually molesting the child...

Here you are merely offering an enticement (which still sounds like entrapment i know, but it's not) and if the thug pushes the matter forward after an initial contact, then it's completely legal to nail these bastards.

At least that's how we learned it in Criminal Law class...

[Alpha and Omega]

Then, after that a bullet to the head.:o

You're honestly being too kind, IMO. :o Maybe instant peace is too kind. I agree. They should experience what Matt said first. That may seem gruesome to a few, but the predators had no reservations about touching young boys or girls. Then what I underlined.

I'd rather fill their limbs with hollow points and laugh/watch as they bleed to death, LOL!

[Matt]

I personally have no objection to a child molestor being someone's ***** in prison.

[Alpha and Omega]

Wow, every sick _____ on this show has some bs excuse, and they actually go w/ it.:rolleyes:

[Brodie The Wise]

[DOG LIPS]

Pimpin' ain't easy. :(

[Alpha and Omega]

I'm sorry, I didn't know that rape could be fixed by more rape.

Go defend child molestors in another thread. No one is trying to fix this by speaking in terms of Hammurabi's system; people here are talking about torturing and murdering these ______.:mad: I'm sorry, but this is one topic I get angry over.:O

[CConn]

I'm sorry, I didn't know that rape could be fixed by more rape.You...really can't fix pedophilia. You can only punish it, and rape has been one helluva punishment for quite some time. :o

[Matt]

I'm sorry, I didn't know that rape could be fixed by more rape.

These people don't need to be fixed. The children they hurt need to be fixed through years of psychological help.

Did anyone see that guy who just saw the cops and still came. Wow. The stupidity is amazing.

[CConn]

These people don't need to be fixed. The children they hurt need to be fixed through years of psychological help.And even then they're rarely ever the same again. :(

It isn't? :confused:

It isn't? :confused:
No, you actually have to leave the house sometimes. :(

No, you actually have to leave the house sometimes. :(

Holy crap, f**k that then. :confused:

[vindrow]

Don't care about rehabilitating child molesters, I just care about punishing them as they should be after what they did to children.

[Brodie The Wise]

These people don't need to be fixed. The children they hurt need to be fixed through years of psychological help.

Did anyone see that guy who just saw the cops and still came. Wow. The stupidity is amazing.

the children are who I was talking about. None of you mentioned the little children that these peopel might have hurt before and whetehr they could be found and helped. You jsut wanted to punish the people. That's always your solution Matt, Rape the problem away. Boss won't give you a raise, rape him. Milk carton won't opne, rape it. Rape rape rape, stop the cycle matt.

[Superman79]

Ah, good to know these bastards aren't going to walk.

Well...technically, they could still if they have a good attorney and the DA is too busy to prosecute properly...which unfortunately happens more than it should...not to mention that sometimes when thye do do time, it's a short spurt and they are out in under a year...it's bullS*** but unfortunatly it happens :mad:

[Brodie The Wise]

well, lets jsut rememebr whihc members of this thread are supporting rape and whihc aren't.

[DOG LIPS]

It's so hard to get some young ass these days. :(

Holy ****, an active duty agent from Homeland Security just came.

I don't think I could do that. If I had a firearm, some of these people wouldn't make it to HQ for booking, and the citation of rights.:o

[Kable24]

The thing is Perveted Justice just gets them. The Police do the rest. You go in knowing you are taking these kind of scumbags off the street for at least a little while.


I wonder if they ever catch women trying for kids.

[DOG LIPS]

...Wait, he said all but one got arrested. Who got away?

[Alpha and Omega]

well, at least you'd be in prison and something good would come of it.

You're a funny guy.:rolleyes: . . .not very educated concerning the law, but very funny. I'll bite on your alleged scenario.

First off, I would be an officer w/ no prior record, and impeccable conduct. Considering, on the job stress, temporary insanity, and the right lawyer, and I would never see prison. I would have a medical discharge from my employment, and I would undergo a psychiatric analysis. I would probably have lifetime probation w/ a six-month - one year sentence in a county jail. (big difference between county lock-up and a maximum security correctional facility.) Officers never are sent to a general population institution; an alternative is usually proposed.

Don't make snide remarks because you tried to defend child molestors and I called you on it.:mad:

Secondly, you don't know me; don't make some abstract assumption, and rationalize it w/ your GE wit.http://superherohype.com/forums/images/icons/icon10.gif

[DOG LIPS]

Damn, I want to see someone attack the dateline guy. :D

[LastSunrise1981]

You know...this sort of thing almost makes you wanna go out and be a vigilante...Punisher -style :unishr:

That's exactly what I always said. Rapists, murderers, and child molesting pedophiles make you want to go out and punish them like Frank Castle.

But then, we'd be arrested for taking the law into our own hands. :mad:

EDIT: I jsut read oyur post and you're ****ing retarded too. Do oyu think I care wheterh you would be in a federal rape-me-in-the-ass-prison or a county lockup? well yes, I'm rather see you in teh safer nicer jail because you probably won't be raped and beaten, somethin I seem to be coming out against a lot. YOu didn't call me on defending child molesters, I called myself on it when I posted in the thread.

[Sarge 2.0]

I wonder if they ever catch women trying for kids.I've always seen a bit of a double standard here. I don't think there have been any studies that prove being a woman makes you less likely to commit these crimes. And yet these cases are pushed to the wayside (unless they concern a smoking hot teacher) and the male pedophiles are the ones that police "go after".

[Spidey-Bat]

Does this mean they're going after Demi Moore?

I try to stay respectful, but this is one topic I feel very strongly about. I didn't mean to offend you, but when I see things like this, I think about friends and family members. I have a very large extended family w/ a lot of young pre-adolescent/teenagers and so forth . . .

Do you know where they filmed the first show? Fairfax, VA. That's very close to where I live. That's why I'm pissed about it. I never was naive to the fact that this happens everywhere, but it's very close to home, and that's highly disturbing for me.

I'm sorry if I annoyed you.:( :up: :)

You don't hunt unless there's an offender repeating the offense over and over in your area. That's the only time I'd probably consider taking action and being a vigilante. Like that guy who killed that rapist in that story. That way you never get caught. :)

[Kable24]

They got 50 or 51. One was released which I think was the tag along friend who didn't know what they were going to go do. Wrong place at the wrong time.

[DBella]

Tag along? Sure. If there had been sex going on, I bet you he'd be a participant. But the cops let him go I guess mainly because he wasn't involved in the online sex talk.

[BlackSymbiote]

The old promoter and owner of the Ring of Honor wrestling federation was caught doing this during a sting operation and the then RoH World Champion Samoa Joe said he'd kill him if he ever saw him again. I wouldn't put it past Samoa Joe to actually do it either.

I did say I though it would've been funny if the host (I forget his name) came out and said "What, I don't look like a 13 year old girl?"

But at least they got these guys.

Anyone else cheer when the cops tackled that one guy and busted his head open?

Just a heads up Dateline on NBC is doing their Internet Predator segment again where they will capture people who want to hook up with minors. It's on Wednesday at 9:00pm EST.

[Golgo-13]

You guys been catching NBC's special 'To catch a Predator"? It's been on 2 Wednesdays in a row now(different episodes) and they have another episode airing 9pm EST next Wednesday.

The reason i resurrected this thread is, with all the publicity surrounding these Internet chat rooms and whatnot, i can't believe that Dateline continues to keep catching these perverts trying to solicite minors for sex, it's ridiculuously....funny!

[murdock_matt]

First of all, I think what "To Catch a Predator" is doing is great. No one can argue against catching pedofiles or potential pedofiles. But I have a question about the legal issues behind this show.

I'm watching the show right now and this is my problem with it. The men THINK they are talking to an underage person online, but IN FACT they are not. They are talking to adults and child imposters. Even if they send inappropriate pictures or links, they are sending them to ADULTS. So what they are arrested for is the intent to commit child molestation.

Once again, let me reiterate that this is a good thing!!! I"m not defending any of the sickos shown on the episodes!!!

But technically, did they really break the law?

Example: Just say there's a bucket of free money on the sidewalk. It's free for everyone. But I go to my apartment, put on a ski mask and leave the house with the intention of stealing this money. But in fact, taking this money is not a crime. So I grab the money and am subsequently arrested because I had the intention of stealing this money. Even though it was legal to take the money.

Do you see what I'm saying?

Let's say one of these guys talks to a Perverted Justice imposter online on the very first day he's ever been on the internet. He's never spoken inappropriately to a minor in his life. He talks dirty to the imposter, goes to the house, talks to Chris Hansen and gets arrested. In actuality, he never did anything wrong with an actual minor. He is being arrested for what he wanted to do, but never did.

I'm not asking if it's right. (I have two daughters below the age of 11 and I'm glad the show exists) But how is it possible to arrest these guys for what they WANTED to do?

[murdock_matt]

I'm sure the above question has been asked a lot, but it just occurred to me while watching the show.

[Spidey-Bat]

Some of the guys they catch have done this in the past.

[murdock_matt]

Some of the guys they catch have done this in the past.

I'm sure that they have. But they're not being arrested for what they did in the past. That's my whole point. They're being arrested for talking to adults and walking into a house in which there are no minors present.

And I know that's where the whole "Intent" comes into play. But they "intended" to have sex with the person they were talking to online... who was an adult in reality.

And YET AGAIN, I'm not defending the people! (I can't seem to say that enough). But couldn't what I said be used as a defense? That they never talked to a minor? That they are actually arrested for something that was only going on in their mind?

Could I walk into a movie set of a bank, go up to the ACTRESS portraying the bank teller, say that I wanted to rob her (without having a weapon), and be arrested for "Intent to commit robbery" simply because I thought it was a real bank?

i say good , im glad someone is out there catching these freaks. i would like to suggest we terminate these dispicable creatures , i do not think they could ever be rehabilitated.

I'm watching the show right now and this is my problem with it. The men THINK they are talking to an underage person online, but IN FACT they are not. They are talking to adults and child imposters. Even if they send inappropriate pictures or links, they are sending them to ADULTS. So what they are arrested for is the intent to commit child molestation.

But technically, did they really break the law?




WOW ...... the intent is more than enough . imagine if there was a 12 year old girl there and no chris hansen at the house . they have a sickness and they need to be weeded out , the method is perfectly reasonable

Entrapment does not exist though? Anyways it is interesting while some of the men are clearly off their rocker some of them seem like normal middle aged men. If their wife is not making them happy sexually why do they go towards a teenager to fulfill their needs as a first option :confused: What is the psychological hang up?????

[Abaddon]

it's taboo, and therefore attractive.

I would love for this show to be in Washington DC. I know they were in VA last time but i'd love to see some guys i might know being caught!

You guys catch the latest Ocean County, NJ eps..?

I must admit, this decoy sucks as an actress. The brunnette chick from the eps we're they lure the guys into the backyard with the jacuzzi in it, should get a frickin academy award, LOL!:woot:

[Addendum]

Tazer vids are always funny. But how the hell could anyone think the hot decoy chick in cutoffs was 12 or 13 when they see her?

[Prison Mike]

are they going to do new episodes or did that lawsuit stop them?

[bullets]

This show really needs to exist and I dont feel any sympathy for child molesters.

[Golgo-13]

What lawsuit? The Kentuky eps are new.

[Prison Mike]

they were shown back in january. There was a lawsuit against dateline because some guy comitted suicide because he knew he would be caught by dateline. the family is suing dateline for it.

First of all, I think what "To Catch a Predator" is doing is great. No one can argue against catching pedofiles or potential pedofiles. But I have a question about the legal issues behind this show.

I'm watching the show right now and this is my problem with it. The men THINK they are talking to an underage person online, but IN FACT they are not. They are talking to adults and child imposters. Even if they send inappropriate pictures or links, they are sending them to ADULTS. So what they are arrested for is the intent to commit child molestation.

Once again, let me reiterate that this is a good thing!!! I"m not defending any of the sickos shown on the episodes!!!

But technically, did they really break the law?

Example: Just say there's a bucket of free money on the sidewalk. It's free for everyone. But I go to my apartment, put on a ski mask and leave the house with the intention of stealing this money. But in fact, taking this money is not a crime. So I grab the money and am subsequently arrested because I had the intention of stealing this money. Even though it was legal to take the money.

Do you see what I'm saying?

Let's say one of these guys talks to a Perverted Justice imposter online on the very first day he's ever been on the internet. He's never spoken inappropriately to a minor in his life. He talks dirty to the imposter, goes to the house, talks to Chris Hansen and gets arrested. In actuality, he never did anything wrong with an actual minor. He is being arrested for what he wanted to do, but never did.

I'm not asking if it's right. (I have two daughters below the age of 11 and I'm glad the show exists) But how is it possible to arrest these guys for what they WANTED to do?
its the same as going to an undercover cop to buy drugs or sex they aren't going to give you either but you are breaking the law by doing it.
and on the show they state that its illegal to send sexual images to someone that is under age. if the undercover person didn't say they were underage you could argue it but seeing as they tell them they are under age its a crime.
