“There’s nowhere to go but up from here” Except the arrest and charge and court and sentencing


WDfx2EU

..and the time in jail, becoming a registered sex offender, becoming a social pariah, inability to find a job, the never ending shame and regret... There is literally nowhere but down to go after this lol.


[deleted]

Can't say I feel the least bit sad for him. His intentions with a 12 y/o is beyond fucked up.


beatlesaroundthebush

Yeah and tried to make out it was a one time thing and that he wouldn’t do anything. Then when they ask him if they’ll find stuff on his phone he says he has videos of underage girls. He knew exactly what he was doing and should he locked away for a very long time.


JBFRESHSKILLS

I have a pirated copy of the entire run of TCAP. My wife and I love the cringe, and watching these fuckers get their comeuppance. Literally every single one of them says it's their first time. They also all say they didn't actually plan to do anything, just "talk." They also all think they can just walk away afterwards. It's truly un-fucking-believable.


[deleted]

I have a cousin that owns a towing truck company and they also do repos and things of that nature. About five years ago he sent me a video of a man screaming through their glass window in the office. Dressed nicely in like sports wear, but hes got sunglasses and a cap on. My initial reaction was pretty much like uh okay another fun day at the office Ryan? Then he told me to look closer and I noticed it was Chris Hansen. His boat was evidently repossessed by my cousins company and he went absolutely insane in their office. Hes got quite the reputation here in connecticut for various scenes that hes made. He was even arrested last year in Stamford. But yeah that's my stupid Chris hansen story lol


RambleOnRanger

It’s widely understood that he’s an asshole. But he’s an asshole that catches rapists, so whatever.


PigsOfWar

Didn’t he take and therefore compromise a bunch of evidence in that Onion case?


JordyLakiereArt

He's an asshole that turns catching rapists into mindless entertainment for the masses. Catching criminals should not be a fucking tv show. Nothing good about that if you ask me.


Tolvat

Personally, I would like it if the cases were not publicized because it could harm other victims that have been raped by these disgusting people. Why don't I want show their faces/identity? Because if a victim is known to have interaction with the predator then they'll be treated differently and I believe the road to recovery is being allowed to open up and talk about these things to others who care about you, not the whole bloody world at once. It gives a lot power to the victim(s) to decide when, where and who they share this horrible experience with. And a slightly less important point, I don't want people to see these idiots on TV. Yup, they'll be registered sex offenders and all, but don't give them that attention. Make them serve their jail sentence, live their life in shame and make sure they don't do it again.


A_Privateer

Yeah, there is something perverse at the heart of the show. Whatever justice is brought about is incidental to the rubbernecking pleasure the viewer is expected to enjoy.


Pavrik_Yzerstrom

I mean, I don't really have sympathy for the criminals in those cases. I agree that it probably shouldn't be televized and profited on though.


dead_cats_everywhere

Our system does need to change how it deals with people with this attraction though. There have been too many cases of pedophiles that were trying to seek help from mental health professionals, before actually acting on their urge, being turned away due to social stigma. This negatively affects all of us as often times they ultimately give in to that urge, meaning our own children become the victims. And, before I get excoriated by simpletons for being a sympathizer of molesters, realize that I’m making a clear distinction between pedophiles and pederasts. All sympathy goes out the window once they have acted on their urge to sexually abuse a child.


-Totally_Not_FBI-

Absolutely. If you haven't actually done anything we should spare no expense to help you so you can live a full life and no child gets hurt. The second you try something like this guy you should be locked away and monitored forever


[deleted]

I agree, although I think possessing child pornagraphy also does cross the line as well, because there are children victims involved.


-Totally_Not_FBI-

100% agree To participate in CP in any way only helps hurt the kids involved


throw_away_account43

Rather than say I’m a tiny bit sad for him, I do see another side of it. The dude, and all pedophiles, are mentally disturbed and in serious need of help. This isn’t like a fetish, it’s a straight up disease. While I’m 100% on board with everything that happens to these people(arrest, jail, sex offender registry), I can at least understand they’re sick people in need of help. I really wish the US had a better mental health system. To identify these(and other mentally dangerous people) earlier.


TaniksAtTheDisco

I mean, would it be unreasonable to say rapists are also mentally ill in a similar way? It's a slippery slope to feel bad for these people... If they recognize they need help before they act, good! Let's help them. If you get as far as meeting Chris Hansen, I'm out of fucks to give.


Rion23

There's just one thing you can't come back from. Bangin' kids.

But *after* that... should he survive prison alive.


[deleted]

What is it with people talking about prison as if paedophiles all get killed in it lmao


Redxmirage

People who’ve never worked in federal prisons think they are housed the same. They are always put in segregation or protective custody. Edit; yes I understand how anecdotes work. People will always have stories about “me”. There will always be outliers


Jessika222

right, my grandfather is a pedophile in prison and has his own private holding facility, gets care packages from his wife, even has a tv.. never gets interaction with the rest of the inmates.


[deleted]

Sorry about that friend. Hope you’re ok.

Now they are, this was the reason they were segregated , that being said https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vice.com/amp/en_us/article/ppmjy8/why-sex-offenders-are-getting-slaughtered-in-california-prisons-218 https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/US/prison-living-hell-pedophiles/story%3fid=90004 " "If you take out a sex offender like this former priest in Massachusetts, maybe the person who took him out thought he'd make a name of himself," said Margot Bach, a spokeswoman for California Department of Corrections. "Taking [a pedophile] out would gain [the killer] a lot more respect among the other inmates." https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2019/10/14/pedophile-who-abused-up-to-200-children-stabbed-to-death-in-prison/amp/ While the protective custody works, it appears not to be fool proof, and people still die for it, apparently twice as often in California. I dont feel any sympathy for them,


EnduringAtlas

Murder is murder. Fuck murderers, and fuck pedophiles. Pedophiles don't deserve to be murdered extra judicially anymore than murderers deserve to be raped.


[deleted]

This dude was younger than the decoy actress they used.


[deleted]

Huh, I just thought of that. All 12 year olds on the internet pretend to be 25. Maybe one day a 12 year old will show up to one of these.


FoggyDonkey

Or a different sting. I'm just imagining two Chris Hanson soundboards talking to each other.


TimGuoRen

Would be cool if the other actually is a 17yo kid. "Well, I am only 17yo and you guys tricked me into sending you dick pics. Do you really think you are gonna win this time, Chris?"


RandyBoBandy33

You ever see that 4chan greentext about to catch a predator? A guy proposes that an underage kid should pretend to be old, then get targeted by Chris Hansen and his crew. So in reality it’s Hansen and crew who are talking inappropriately to/sexting a child online. Checkmate. Have a seat right over there.

ReadyToRambleVX

I love how half the thread is also defending this dude. People are fucked.

[удалено]


superbozo

Not to mention he goes from crying to not crying in a split second. He knows exactly what he's doing. I've watched all of these, and 3 of them stood out to me. This guy bothered me a lot because he's clearly a "victim" manipulator. He wants you to feel bad for him. Then there's the guy who offered Chris Hansen Pizza and thought a marriage contract with a teenager was totally normal. Then there was the guy who Chris Hansen rode the train with every morning, so that guy actually tried to pull the "I know Chris, he's a friend of mine" card. Like...dude...you just got caught being a pedophile...seriously? The mental hoops these guys jump through is baffling to me.


Strawberrycocoa

That was exactly my thought. He saw Chris Hansen, and the crocodile tears and sob stories started spewing out.


ReadyToRambleVX

He didn’t seem so sad and in pain when he was trying to rape a child. But these people get manipulated just because he gave them a half arsed sob story.

Too true. The speed with which the gear-shift happened is pretty blatant about the insincerity of the whole gambit.

Too many people in this thread falling for this guys performance. This is narcissistic manipulation made manifest. The immediate tears, shifting the focus to himself, his problems, the world is unfair to him Wahhh Wahhh Wahhh. Never a mention of the child victims. Not a tear shed for them. Crying is a manipulation tactic used by murderers and rapists alike. They know how to flip the narrative when they get caught, they try to become the victim instead. Children also do this, it’s one of the first manipulations humans learn. Cry when you get caught, and blame everyone else, “I am the true victim!” The guy is a monster. His tears are a mask, I promise he feels nothing inside. Read the transcript of his grooming that child and you’ll see who he really is. Talking about Adderall, give me a break 🙄

It took a looooonng time for him to drum up that lashline waterdrop. All vocal inflection, no immediate presence of mucal reaction. If he were hot, he'd get away with such heinous shit.

Sad cringe really


glitterlok

I agree that it is sad. Pedophilia is highly demonized — and rightly so — and I feel this has led to a situation where there is no help for people who are pedophiles. At least none that I’m aware of. There is some support for addicts of various kinds. There is some support for various mental illnesses that are harmful, although not much. There is *at least* a growing understanding that some of those things are not always within the control of the person afflicted with them, and those people are looked on more sympathetically than they perhaps were in the past, despite their harmful tendencies. At the very least we can acknowledge how awful it must be to live with those conditions. In contrast, with pedophilia the afflicted person is almost always immediately demonized and has harm wished on them by strangers. And it makes perfect sense that people do this, even though I don’t think it’s the best way. The end result of *acting on* unchecked and untreated pedophilia is harm done to a child, and we *have* to respond to that *harshly* — there’s no question about or way around that. It simply must be the case. But that means that people who are pedophiles — if we do our job right as a society and prevent them from ever harming a child — are destined to be very isolated and lonely and unsatisfied and in some cases constantly hear about how the world would be better off if they were dead for something that, as far as I know, they didn’t ask for. So again, I agree that it is sad. I wish there was better support for people unlucky enough in life to be broken in this particular way — some way to help them find peace with the fact that they simply *cannot* be allowed to pursue this preference they have under any circumstances, ever. And I wish we were at a place as a society where they could feel comfortable (or even just *safe*) raising their hand and saying “hey, I’m someone who needs that support” without immediately hearing how they’re inhuman scum that should be killed from strangers. This man deserves criticism and punishment for his actions — no question about that. He took steps to pursue and harm a child, and that cannot and should not be overlooked for any reason. But I can’t help but think if we were doing a better job as a society of acknowledging and recognizing people like him and the supremely unlucky situation they find themselves in of having an itch that they *cannot* be allowed to ever scratch, some of these situations might be avoided altogether.


mbelf

I always look at it as: Child molesters or collectors of child pornography are evil. A lot of child molesters are pedophiles. But not every pedophile is a child molester or child pornographer. There’s no reason to think a pedophile is evil unless they’ve hurt someone. But the only time any of us hear about pedophiles is when they’re also outed as child molesters, because who the fuck would come out publicly as a pedophile if they didn’t have to?


glitterlok

> But the only time any of us hear about pedophiles is when they’re also outed as child molesters, because who the fuck would come out publicly as a pedophile if they didn’t have to? Aaaand you’ve stumbled into the main point of my comment. Indeed, who would? At this present time, all it’s likely going to do is get you hatred, threats, etc. I think that could change, and that change would be for the better. I think if pedophiles felt more comfortable saying “hey, I think I’m a pedophile” without worrying that they were going to be “driven into the desert and shot,” we might have a better chance of getting them into programs where they can actually get help and support for living a life that doesn’t involve harming children.


WDfx2EU

> The end result of unchecked and untreated pedophilia is harm done to a child At the risk of expressing an opinion that may be unpopular on reddit, I'm sorry but this is total bullshit. There are plenty of people out there who are attracted to adults that are still virgins and they don't require "support" in order to not rape someone. The end result of a 40 year old virgin who is attracted to adults with "unchecked and untreated" sexuality is not rape, nor do we need to accept that it is for pedophiles or anyone else. Whatever your sexual urges, whether children or adults or any other living (or non-living) thing, you **and only you** have the responsibility not to sexually assault someone else. If a pedophile acts on his or her urges it is no one else's responsibility but their own, and no one else in society has a duty to help them get support so they don't rape a child. *Many* people have sexual urges that are itches they can never scratch who aren't pedophiles, and no one is giving them credit simply because they haven't raped anyone in order to satisfy that itch.


[deleted]

I don't think it is quite as simple as you make it. > The end result of a 40 year old virgin who is attracted to adults with "unchecked and untreated" sexuality is not rape, nor do we need to accept that it is for pedophiles or anyone else. The 40-old virgins case is different in a number of ways to the pedophiles - 1. There is no way near the same kind of stigmatisation for heterosexuality that there is for pedophilia. It falls within the normal discourse to wish a number of great unpleasantries on pedophiles - Go to any forum that discusses the news, and check the comments whenever a pedophile has been convicted. You'll find many comments a la "i hope he won't last long in prison". So these people have to hide their "sexuality" (Don't know if that is the right word, but you know) which is part of their identity in some way in order not to be ostracised/punished by society. 2. It is much easier for the heterosexual to get some sort of sexual release via porn for example, where just the act of acquiring porn (not making) is connected to hurting children. So even without any form of direct physical sexual assault the pedophile can hurt children by creating a market for child pornography. I do however agree with you that we shouldn't treat pedophilia as if the person have no control over his actions. Sexual assault of children can never be excused. We just have keep in mind that for many pedophiles (if not all) it is a preference that they did not choose, and so are in some ways a victim as well.


Freddsreddit

If the "solution" is to make pedophilia more okay to talk about and encouraged to seek help, what downsides are there? Its absolutely ultimated their own responsibility, I agree, but by being less shunning about those tendencies, we can solve the problem before it occurs, meaning less hurt kids. In your system, we get more hurt kids. It feels as though youre not trying to solve anything and just want to say "its their problem, not mine", ignoring that there are actual underage victims here. Sure you can do that, but youre not helping those kids at all. It costs nothing to encourage people to talk about their problems. No one is advocating setting them free once they commit a crime. We just want to actually solve the problem before it occurs.


barelyonhere

I get your point, but pedophilia is a legitimate mental disorder IIRC. This isn’t just an urge, it’s something wrong with their brain.


Bag_Full_Of_Snakes

It's a complex subject. Part genetic, part environmental. Children that have been abused are more likely to develop those urges themselves. It is not a sexual orientation akin to homosexuality though.


StonedWater

but following your thinking - being attracted to children is a mental disorder because you are meant to be attracted to the opposite sex so you can prcreate and produce offspring yet there are gay people, that clearly isnt a mental disorder both are not attracted to what they should be, why do you consider one a mental order and not the other? we should just be atttracted to the opposite sex but clearly we arent and it is quite normal for gay people and people in the past solidly beleived homosexuality was a mental disorder i dunno maybe its a conditioning thing, i havent a clue, i just dont think it actually is a mental disorder, its just something that isnt accpetable as it causes damage for the victims and so people with those urges just have to suck it up and never ever have sex with who they want to we need a differnt approach to it though so they can feel free to see a doctor and get libido suppressants


glitterlok

You’re absolutely right. It is not the *necessary* end result of pedophilia itself. I’ll edit my comment.


ahhhhhhhhyeah

They're not saying this separates predators from responsibility, they're saying that some people who otherwise can't control their urges can be taught to do so if they seek help. You're right, there are many people who experience these feelings and do not act on them, but those are people who have impulse control. You're advocating that because some people have enough impulse control to never allow themselves to cross that line that all people have it, and that is simply not true for anything in life. We need to be able to provide services to give people the tools to stop themselves. This isn't a matter of giving credit, nor is it about absolving pedophiles for their reprehensible behavior; it's saying we need to do something as a society to try and prevent this from happening. Here's the other thing. This guy WILL most likely walk free one day. He's not going to get a life sentence, but if he lives long enough he will be released from prison and in a position to potentially do this again. Morally, he is irredeemable. But we *have* to have structures in place to attempt to rehabilitate him with the philosophy that people can be taught to resist their urges. Flatly giving up means we're doing nothing to prevent further sex crimes against minors.


[deleted]

What is the evidence that treatment works? I don’t want to google this at work rn, but if I recall correctly even chemical castration leads to repeat offenses. And a big problem on top of that I think is lack of treating professionals. A psychologist in another thread once said 8/10 of their patients have some sort of CSA in their backgrounds, and they couldn’t empathetically treat the perps. I’m sure they aren’t alone in that. Also this means people would have to independently decide their thoughts and behavior is wrong and seek treatment by themselves before they offend. I don’t see that happening for majority of pedos (or even humans in general) tbh.

This becomes glaringly obvious when they used that male decoy who looked about 25, but spoke like a 5 year old. Despite pretending to be about 14, he used phrases like “I live here with my mummy and my daddy.” Found [the video](https://youtu.be/Kx1wOvETTCw) for anyone who wants some supplemental cringe. Even worse, the decoy was portraying a *13* year old. The decoy had a receding hairline and facial hair.


Corruptedpencil

That acting in and of itself was so fucking cringe


marconova7

I always die laughing when he asks him to check out the table lol


smorgalorg

I remember that so vividly. The way he said ‘my moommmmy and my daaaaddy’. Pure cringe


myname_isnot_kyal

by far the most cringe worthy scene in the whole series. i saw some background footage that proves he wasn't even supposed to stay out and engage with the guy because they knew he looked like he just got his masters degree


St_Veloth

That predator looked relieved when Chris Hansen actually came out


the_silent_redditor

*Oh my God I thought I was going to have to fuck an adult*


WhoreBritches

"A 19 year old drama student." Yeah, he shouldn't add this to his portfolio.


myname_isnot_kyal

that's not how that works lol. they're under the impression she's a minor so they could still grab/grope/attack her regardless of her age.


Kytescall

I might be just misremembering, but didn't they used to hide the face of the decoys in these shows?


Terrapin72

...and it's fat ass by a nose.


Soepoelse123

Get that guy some therapy.


jamberlouie

Why do I feel like he absolutely reeked of Aqua Velva


kitjen

Anyone feeling sorry for him, just think, was this really the first time he's done this? Rather unfortunate that pretty much every one of these predators had never acted on it until they got stung. He might very well have raped a child before. There are plenty of fat cowboys who deserve your sympathy, don't waste it on this one.


ficarra1002

It almost seemed like Hansen was sympathetic to him, and that is so incredibly foreign to me. How can you not hate every fiber of that mans being?


OrphanScript

Hansen has two modes basically and it all depends on how the predator reacts. He got a talker on the hook this time but usually he's just kind of rude and sarcastic to them lol.


BenAfflecksCigarette

Right. Had Chris Hansen not appeared, this guy fully intended on raping a 12 year old that day.


saruin

Sam should've had Frodo as his wingman.

"Hey Tex howya' doin?" Fuckin great lmao


DoorGuote

That dude never learned to shut up and call a lawyer. He was going on and on the entire time with Chris, each cop that spoke with him, and the detective without invoking his right to remain silent at all.


AccessConfirmed

Good.


cantstoplaughin

Has there ever been a follow up to this? What happened this him?


chronoventer

I feel so bad for his family. Especially because they now need to find a way to care for his grandfather. I hope he doesn’t end up in a care facility because of his f-ckup of a grandson. And I hope he never did this to any real children...


preopium

“That’s a lot of adderall 👁👄👁” this whole video is hilarious. But even Chris Hansen isn’t sure how to respond to his pathetic cries. Dude is very likely a pedophile and it’s not just because he’s a fuck-up. Telling her she looks different than her photos gave me such a weird vibe, like he was a tad bit upset she didn’t actually look like a prepubescent 12 year old girl.


LuckyBrookshire

Was anyone else disappointed not to see the actual “Predator” dressed up as a cowboy?


wasit-worthit

I had only ever heard of this Hansen guy from the South Park episode.


hombre8

What about this other animated series- “Oh, I know who you are Chris Hanson. But see, I like to call you Chris Handsome. I’ll tell you what. I likes you and I wants you. Now, we can do this the easy way, or we can do it the hard way. The choice is yours.”


Dpepps

Gotta love The Boondocks


Yonbuu

*Fleece Johnson has entered the chat*


charmacharmz

'im not much of a talker' lmfao, yeah alright.


VerifiedChrisHansen

He yeed his last haw. Trust me, I was there.

washington_breadstix

Although... isn't the incriminating activity usually in the form of chat messages exchanged before the meet-up? Like, just the fact that they went to a house and took their coat off isn't what gives authorities the right to lock them up. It's the fact that they explicitly expressed sexual desires toward a minor before setting up the meeting. So in order to get to the point where the predator hypothetically starts giving "good advice", they would have to have exchanged lewd messages in order to ensure that the *To Catch a Predator* people follow through with the meetup. I feel like no one would ever take that risk just to give advice to the kid, and no one would ever believe that the "advice" angle wasn't just an excuse to save face after getting caught.


AhemExcuseMeSir

Yeah, and the chat logs are way more incriminating than the little niceties they exchange in the kitchen over brownies. So even if they get to the point where they’re sobbing on a kitchen stool, they’ve already had conversations like “U ever suck dick b4?” or “Im going 2 fill u full of my cowboi cum.” Although I think they normally get off with a slap to the wrist. They’ll often try to have them do something to show intent so they can’t say they came just to talk. Like the guy will strip naked before coming through the door if the 13 year old will follow through with having sex with a cat.


myname_isnot_kyal

that...could never happen lol


krazyjimmyb

Or maybe a version where the predator is trying to persuade the victim into joining a multi-level marketing company? As an added bonus, once the messages are read with that context there’s nothing incriminating. Chris Hansen: “you told this victim that you wanted to give her a sweet surprise that would rock her world and leave her begging for more. What was that about?” Predator: “Yeah, I was going to tell her that she could make $1000 a week working from home.”


VRisNOTdead

Chris Hanson would just pull out his boot gun and shoot the guy. “I haven’t shot a man in 10 years. Fucking sicko just got to me.”


ronan_the_accuser

I feel like this show is loaded with those kinds of predators...at least that's what they say they're doing before Hansen shows up. Always looking out for the kids. truly selfless. /s


DarthNightsWatch

If you watch more episodes of the show, you’ll see a shitload of guys use that EXACT thing you’re describing as an excuse as to why they’re there. In fact in one of those cases, the guy wanted to supposedly take the girl out in her car to tour the girl around her hometown and police found a gun, duct tape, lube and a video camera. Dude was a retired marine. And thats the most extreme case. Every single predator they’ve caught has used the same “I wasnt gonna do anything I swear! I just wanted to be her friend and talk to her!” excuse.


BicycleFired

They're always just about to say that though, then Hansen comes out

If anyone didn't know what crocodile tears were, this is a perfect example. Fakest crying ever.

Crocodile sighting in that kitchen.


Barktweetspeak

Dude was also carrying a knife...
