Robert Rudy Salinas, a forty-four-year-old Copy Machine Technician and married man with children, started chatting with a decoy who posed as a thirteen-year-old-girl. Robert asked the decoy if he can perform oral sex on her and asked if she masturbated. He mentioned that he could be in a lot of trouble for having sex with a minor. He explained to the decoy he would come by before he had to pick up his child from karate. Robert said he would bring sandwiches and dessert. When mentioning putting ice cream on the girl’s body, the decoy mistakenly asked if it would be "Ben and Jerry's Funky Monkey," when it was really called "Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey." Robert arrived at the sting house with what he promised the decoy. After a quick chat, Chris confronted Robert and told him to have a seat.

Joshua Lee Tuttle, a 20-year-old man using the screen name "goodbody1330," initiated contact with an individual he believed to be a 13-year-old girl named "Jessie" but was, in fact, a Perverted Justice decoy. Tuttle began their conversation by asking if she had ever been in a relationship and whether she would consider dating someone in their 20s. He then proposed the idea of becoming her friend and offered to take her out. Tuttle referred to the decoy as his girlfriend and suggested having a "private party" at her home when her father was not present. Tuttle mentioned bringing condoms and discussed a sequence of activities he envisioned, including cuddling, watching movies, engaging in kissing and making out, and ultimately engaging in sexual activity in her bedroom. The following day, Tuttle, filled with apprehension, expressed concern about the potential consequences if he were to get caught engaging in the planned meeting. He voiced his fear of ending up in jail as a result of his actions. In comes Chris!

05 Feb 2024 | Ed_in_NYC | 00:41:07 | |
In one of Chris’s initial sting operations, he apprehended Ed_in_NYC, a predator in Bethpage, Long Island. Ed_in_NYC's unmistakable New York City accent added a unique dimension to the encounter. His initial excitement upon entering the scene was palpable, only to be contrasted by his smug demeanor when confronted by Chris Hansen. However, despite his attempts to cover his tracks, Ed_in_NYC's efforts were far from convincing, leading to some unintentionally humorous one-liners along the way. Ed_in_NYC remains one of the memorable figures among the first predators Chris ever apprehended.

49-year-old Victor Wells contacted a Perverted Justice decoy who was posing as a 12-year-old girl named "Beth." From December 18, 2005, to January 7, 2006, Wells had a sexually explicit chat. He questioned whether the decoy was a police officer or a set of parents using a young girl as a prop to catch sexual offenders. He said that because the decoy was under 18, he was unable to speak to her more graphically. Over the coming days, the two talked about a variety of subjects. Wells then offered to pick up the girl when his family wouldn't be present so that he could take pictures of her in a bikini. He claimed to have never encountered someone underage and that just a few had discussed having sex with him. It all ended in a sit down with Chris.

Charles was 65 years old at the time he started chatting up a decoy named “Luke”, whom he believed to be a thirteen year old boy, in a gay chat room.

23 Dec 2024 | Jim Rauch | 00:39:49 | |
James "Jim"" Clifford Rauch was a potential predator caught in a KBI sting in connection with the Bowling Green, Kentucky investigation. Despite never being questioned by Chris, he gained notoriety due to his tumultuous journey to the sting house and his outrageous interrogation with the police, where he jokes with detectives and goes off topic numerous times. Rauch, started a webcam session with “Cheyenne," a girl he believed to be thirteen. He literally started off by asking the decoy if she wanted to give him oral sex. Over the course of eleven days, Rauch would send naked pictures of himself (one of them in his office) as well as make plans to take her back to his place for sex. Jim would take off in his car drunk on his way to see Cheyenne. He would get lost on his way, calling her and cursing like a sailor about not being able to find the house, saying things like, “The bears are looking for my dick!” When he arrived at the sting house, no one was there except the police to pick him up.

Introducing The Mutant (PODCAST EXCLUSIVE EPISODE) from MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories. Follow the show: MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories On a day in 2001, a veteran homicide detective put on his gloves and stepped into a cluttered bedroom. He’d been working a murder case for months, but he still had no clear evidence pointing to any of his suspects. But a tip from an informant had led him to this bedroom, and he hoped he would find something useful. The detective searched the room, but nothing stood out to him amidst the mess – until he saw a piece of notebook paper sitting on a nightstand. On the paper was someone’s list of goals they wanted to accomplish in life. The detective scanned the list. Most of the goals on the list were pretty standard stuff, but one goal immediately jumped out at the detective. Because one of the things on the list the writer wanted to achieve was to “Kill somebody and get away with it.” For 100s more stories like these, check out our main YouTube channel just called "MrBallen" -- https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallen If you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media platform, my username on all of them is @mrballen See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ziegfeld Rivera is a potential predator that was featured in the Ocean County, New Jersey sting. He is most well-known for biting into the crunchy stale brownies that were left out for him, as well as his surprisingly uncensored obscenities during his arrest.

After complimenting the size of the sting house, he attempted to eat one of the brownies but soon realized that they were stale, causing an audible crunch after he took a bite. Regardless, he continued to chew on them while laughing, asking the decoy Casey Maura if she wanted to "take a drive somewhere" after confirming (lying) that he had marijuana on him. Casey proclaimed that she'd rather hang out at the house for the time being. Enter Chris Hansen.

Rutherford was a 6th grade teacher at St Margaret of York Catholic school in Loveland, Ohio. He was 26 years old at the time of the sting operation. Rutherford met and chatted up a decoy online pretending to be a 13-year-old girl named "Danika".
He shows up at the house in search for the girl, calling on her and telling her to come to him. Chris then appears and asks Rutherford to sit down for some questions, to which he responded that he had expected it to be a set-up.
During his interview with Chris, Rutherford states that he was going through a divorce and simply wanted to 'get out of the house'. When asked what he was there to do with the girl he had been talking to, he says that there was no plans for anything sexual to take place, a very common excuse. He appears confident from the beginning that he was on national television, and states later into the interview that he is "probably on TV", to which Chris Hansen confirms, making Rutherford put his head into his hands as the camera crew walk out. Rutherford takes his leave and exits the house where he is arrested by the Darke County Sheriff's Office.
Initially, James tried to fight the charges in court, but eventually pled guilty. He received 45 days in county jail, 36 months probation, and a ten year stay on the RSO list.
Adapted from journalist Chris Hansen’s popular TO CATCH A PREDATOR series, each episode of PREDATOR I'VE CAUGHT features Chris recalling the most notorious cases and providing a “Where are they now?” update.

Thomas would then make the two-hour drive with alcohol, condoms, and a camera to the sting house and unexpected meeting with Chris.

Alan Chernay was 58 years old when he tried soliciting a 14-year-old girl for oral sex. While his chatlog cannot be found online, what is known is that he refused to give his real age to the decoy, only revealing that he was "over 40." He tells the decoy that he would love to get oral sex from her one day, claiming that since he is 6'2, she could give him oral sex without her having to kneel down. Alan arrives at the sting house and is immediately greeted by Chris Hansen, shaking his hand and sitting on the stool. When asked how old he was, Chernay only responds with, "I'm old." After further questioning, Alan breaks down, saying, "I'm out of my mind, I just can't believe it."

Abdalla would show up to the house late at night after making a date to do the things that were talked about in the chat. Upon driving up, the decoy waved him into the house and he happily came in with a huge smile on his face. His happiness was short-lived as Chris Hansen soon came out after he was situated.

02 Dec 2024 | Maroof Farooq | 00:33:42 | |
Maroof Shah Farooq is a predator that was caught in the Long Beach, California sting. He is best known for showing up with two other males, one underage, for an apparent group sexual assault. Farooq, twenty-four at the time of his encounter, entered into a chat with a girl he believed to be twelve-years-old. His chat had very broken English to express some very raunchy desires that he wanted to have with a twelve-year-old girl, which included hard anal sex so she wouldn’t get pregnant and to “protect her virginity." Sounded like a blossoming romance... until he showed up to the trap house with two other men. Farooq would send in one of the guys, a fifteen-year-old, as a spotter in case it was a trap; if it wasn’t a trap, an apparent gang rape was in the plans. The fifteen-year-old bumped into Chris and tried to explain that he didn’t come to have sex because he had a girlfriend.

DarkHero was 30 at the time he solicited a girl he believed to be thirteen years old for a date as well as enter into a master/slave BDSM relationship with the decoy. Upon showing up at the house, he is confronted by Chris. DarkHero immediately goes on the offensive, unapologetically stating he was looking for a girlfriend and lambasted Chris for looking for pedophiles while he was doing so, seemingly unable to make the connection that the type of girls he was looking for was a criminal act. He would also reveal he had schizophrenia and had just been released from the hospital.

Marvin, 22 at the time of the investigation, chatted with a decoy named “Cindy”, who he believed to be fourteen. He wanted to do it raw, believing he knew how to avoid pregnancy because he was a med school student. Marvin then told the decoy he wanted to "blank" her everywhere in her house so she'd remember him.
The conversation then turned to pets. Having been told by the decoy that she had a male cat, Marvin told her it would turn him on if she had sex with him (the cat). The decoy said she didn't think she wanted to "blank" the cat, so eventually Marvin agreed to walk into the house naked in order to have that happen.

Deepak Bist was a 22-year-old college Chemistry teacher at the time he started chatting with “Jennah“, a girl he believed to be 13. He starts by acting like a guardian saying she shouldn’t be in the chat room and there are a lot of bad people there...including himself. It would sound like he was fighting the temptation, saying he was too old and he wasn’t a nice person several times, even calling himself a pervert, perhaps trying to get the decoy to stop chatting with him when he himself could have blocked her if he really didn’t want the chat to develop into anything sexual. He would also admit to watching To Catch A Predator, calling it, “pretty funny." Deepak would cave to temptation and come to Flagler Beach for sex with the decoy and an unexpected meeting with Chris.

17 May 2021 | 17: Meet the worst and most hated predator. | 00:27:46 | |
Thomas John Bodnar is a child sex predator involved in the Riverside, California edition of To Catch a Predator. He is arguably referred to as the worst and most hated predator caught in the history of the show. Bodnar, 42 at the time of his chat with whom he believed was a thirteen-year-old boy, was already a serial child molester at the time of his arrest. He was part of a big brother program in Salem, Oregon and was befriended by a single mother who wanted to give her three children a positive male influence in their lives. He would betray that trust by systematically molesting and raping all three: two boys and one girl. The children would later come out about it and Bodnar would be sentenced to ten years in prison. In 1999, he was arrested again for having oral sex with an underage boy. In this instance in Riverside, California, he expressed love for the boy, sending nude pictures.
Upon arrival at the house, he called out for the boy as soon as he made it to the door but took off running the second he saw Chris Hansen.

09 Dec 2024 | Michael Reyes | 00:39:53 | |
Michael Robert Reyes is a suspected predator involved in the Flagler Beach, Florida edition of To Catch a Predator. He is mostly known for rushing for a hug from the decoy before using having a two-year-old as an excuse as to why he wouldn't abuse somebody else's child. Michael, twenty-eight-years-old at the time, began chatting with a decoy whom he thought was a fourteen-year-old girl. At first, he tells the decoy he would not do anything inappropriate because he did not want to go to jail. However, when the decoy mentions that she is a virgin, Michael questions if she would have sex with him. He also asks if she had sex with older guys, and later sends a picture of his genitals. It took Michael two hours to arrive at the sting house. Upon entering the house, Michael rushes to the decoy for a hug, which causes Chris to come out.

19 Apr 2021 | 13: Oh no! He brought his son! | 00:21:13 | |
Clifford Wallach was 40 years old when he began chatting with a boy he believed to be fourteen years old named "Tony". Clifford is very guarded during his chat about his intentions, only saying he was looking to "have fun", wanting to communicate by voice instead. After 30 minutes, they end the chat and Clifford begins a voice conversation with Del Harvey, who is pretending to be Tony. Over the phone, he discloses his true intentions, saying he wanted to engage in oral sex with Tony, both giving and receiving.
While setting up the meet, Wallach mentions he would be alone until midnight, but when he comes to the sting house, instead of heading towards the house, he instead went to the back seat of his car, to take his son out. Frag yells out, "Oh no..." in shock as others can be heard in the background in also in shock of what they are seeing. Chris Hansen later says some of those people were crying as well. Due to how shocking the situation is and because a real child is involved, Hansen immediately comes out and meets him just inside the front door, telling Clifford straight up that he is part of a sting. Hansen also iterates that because his child is involved that he won't pursue anything he asks them to leave. Clifford would state he was just going to take the decoy for lunch and he will never do it again.
When he exits the house, instead of being tackled like many of the men in the Ft. Myers investigation, the police demand him to stay put.

14 Jun 2021 | 21: “THEY'D JUMPAT THE CHANCE 2 F__ U” - Todd Spikes | 00:34:39 | |
Todd Monroe Spikes was a potential predator and the law enforcement officer exposed in the Flagler Beach, Florida edition of To Catch a Predator. He is best known for bringing an array of guns to the sting house.
Todd was a former police officer who had gone back into law enforcement and was 41 years old at the time that he began an explicit chat with a girl he believed to be 13 years old named “Lindsay”. Typing in all caps, he talked about how he wanted to perform cunnilingus and anallingus on the decoy (hence the name). Because he wanted it to be a regular thing, he talked about moving down and becoming the girl’s mother’s boyfriend as well as cuckolding her by parading her to perfect strangers and watching them have sex. He promised to show up at the sting house at a particular time but fell incommunicado. Because of this, the Dateline crew and law enforcement thought he had backed out, so operations were shut down for the night. However, Todd would call the decoy at 1am saying he was on his way. Because of this, he was pulled over and arrested before he could arrive at the sting house. Shockingly, upon searching his van, they found a large array of guns, plus one revolver in his pocket that was loaded and cocked along with an assault rifle on the passenger seat, loaded and primed. Even more shocking, and this was not covered in the Dateline story, he had all the materials for a body dump: a chainsaw, tarp, ropes, and a boat anchor. Spikes remained silent during questioning and bailed out. He fought the charges for three years, but finally accepted a plea which kept him out of jail. He was given 10 years probation and lifetime RSO status. A very light sentence considering the large amount of circumstantial evidence against him which showed a life or lives (if he got in the sting house) would be in danger had he got to the meet. In 2012, he was arrested for a parole violation. While at the jail, he entered into an altercation, which when combined with his parole violation ended up giving him a three year incarceration stint. He was released in August of 2015.

He said to the decoy that he didn't want his wife to learn about them having sex together. While there wasn’t any sex…his wife sure learned about the encounter.

05 Apr 2021 | 11: Predator Dan Allen's daughter shares the shock, shame, and aftermath of TCAP revelation. | 00:33:54 | |
For 17 years, journalist Chris Hansen has famously conducted hidden camera investigations to catch, confront (“Have a seat...”) and arrest adult men engaging in sexually explicit online chats in hopes of luring underage girls and boys into having sex. He’s confronted men from all walks of life - plumbers, doctors, clergy, teachers, even law enforcement. Their careers and families, turned upside down with the revelation of the double lives they lead. For their families, the collateral damage can be catastrophic. Stunning them into silence behind the shame. That is, until now.
For the first time, in this episode, Chris Hansen sits down with Daniela Miller, the daughter of one of the most notorious predators in TCAP history, Dan Allen.
Allen was captured in January, 2006, in the very first investigation where law enforcement was involved, the Riverside County Sheriff's department. Over three days, 51 men showed up to have sex with a young teen boy or a girl. One of the men who surfaced in that investigation was 49 year old, Dan Allen.
Chris and Daniela discuss the shock and shame of learning a family member is a sexual predator, and the devastating effects such a revelation wreaks on the entire family. Daniela shares her biggest fear and how she and her family put their lives back together to move on.

05 Aug 2024 | Lorne Armstrong | 00:48:37 | |
Lorne Armstrong is a potential online predator who appeared in the Bowling Green, Kentucky sting. One of the most notorious TCaP predators, Armstrong is closely followed and often ironically quoted by the TCaP community. Soon after moving to Nashville, TN, from Cambridge, ME, Lorne began chatting online with a Perverted Justice decoy who used the screen name "kaylaprincess_94" to pose as a 13-year-old girl named Kayla. At first, Lorne portrayed himself as a protector, telling Kayla, "If nobody will talk to you, sweetheart, you can talk to me... I'm a good guy. I have two nieces your age."
This façade began to slip when Lorne, realizing that Kayla had never been taught the dangers of the online world, told Kayla that there are a lot of "weirdos" on the internet. Lorne finally arrived at the sting house on his 37th birthday, and he was very calm and happy when he met the decoy. After taking a seat on a butt warmer chair, he repeatedly told Casey he wanted a kiss from her to kick off the night. Then Chris entered the room and revealed that he was part of a network television investigation. Lorne then uttered the now infamous cry of defeat ("OH CAWD!") and was arrested shortly after leaving the house.

28 Jun 2021 | 23: One of the most dangerous. And one of the oldest predators I've caught! | 00:27:51 | |
Michael Gentile was a predator caught in the Fairfield, Connecticut sting. He is among one of the oldest predators caught in the series. He is known for his unsettling voice from calling the decoy, as well as his inappropriate nude pictures which he sends.
Gentile was a 64 year old limo driver at the time that he contacted a girl over a mobile app that he believed to be thirteen, and proceeded to act extremely creepy. He mentions to the decoy that he likes to be in the nude. He sent the decoys multiple pictures, including him naked in a forest, him naked in his living room and even him on the toilet. He would also encourage the decoy to experiment in a nude lifestyle herself by asking her to try to sleep naked and to attend a nudist gathering with him. Michael even sent multiple calls and voicemails using a breathy and creepy voice calling the decoy his "sex kitten" as well as mentioning the things he wanted to do with her, such as having oral sex with her in a "69" position. He also asked the girl to practice having sex with a banana to get ready for him as well as send links to pornographic videos to educate the decoy. The chat continues for about a month.
Gentile makes the 35 mile drive to Fairfield. When he arrived at the sting house, he closes a window the decoy said she was having trouble with and immediately felt that something was off (for unknown reasons). He then decided to leave the house with Chris yelling behind him in an attempt to coerce him back into the house. Never even getting a glimpse of Hansen, Gentile closes the door and power walks away from the house only to be ambushed by several cops a few feet away from the door.

According to Koujababian, he was looking for a partner online. He inquired about the decoy's desire to date an older man. Then Koujababian made a joke about the decoy being a cop. He declared that they would have to keep their relationship a secret from her parents since he didn't want to be set up. Koujababian acknowledged having a foot fetish after discussing a variety of subjects. Immediately afterward Koujababian went up to the same decoy while assuming the identity of a different man who was 30 and used the name "marcusfuller2003." He claimed the decoy could refer to him as "black daddy" and requested that she take her clothes off. That’s when Chris stepped in.

Before William arrived at the sting, footage from a gas station shows he stopped there to buy a box of condoms.

As he gets in the house, he wants to follow the decoy to her room where she said she was going to change in. Once Chris comes out of the curtains, he racewalks out of the house, saying Nope as he exits.

Casey Mauro was the female decoy used in the final two stings in Ocean County, NJ and Bowling Green, KY Casey, a baby-faced 19-year-old, 5’2” and 95 pounds at the time of her participation on the show, had the perfect look and build for a decoy. She was provocative enough to make sure the predators would stay in order for Chris Hansen to have a chance to confront them. She even had two predators, Travis Fowler and Richard Burnham, attempt to sexually assault her with the latter actually being her very first televised encounter. She is generally regarded as one of the best decoys on the show due to her appearance as well as getting some of the most candid of intentions for her from the predators face to face rather than just in the chat room.

23 Oct 2023 | William Dow | 00:45:36 | |
William Dow was 63-year-olds, used the screen name "bob75007," to begin a chat with a Perverted Justice decoy who was posing as a fourteen-year-old girl named "Tanya". Even though his chatlog is not available online, it is known that he admitted to the decoy in the chat that he was married. Dow proposed that while he remained with his wife, the decoy could become his girlfriend. When the decoy claimed she was a virgin, Dow told her she could do whatever she wanted during their sexual encounter and suggested they could "explore" each other, stating that it would be "very very nice" and said opportunities like that did not happen often. Dow soon became suspicious and said he was afraid to meet because of the possibility of it being a sting operation, in which case he would be arrested and charged with being a child predator. However, the decoy got rid of his nervousness by mentioning what she would want to do with him sexually. In stepped Chris.

Smith came in a moving truck to the sting house after driving over one hundred and one miles. Smith followed Dana's instructions and headed down the walkway to the back of the house. He carried a six pack of grape-flavored Smirnoff Ice into the house. Chris then confronted him.

10 Feb 2025 | Timothy Knowles | 00:24:32 | |
Timothy Knowles was a potential predator featured in the Murphy, Texas edition of To Catch A Predator. He is mostly known for Chris referring to a picture of his genitals as a "calling card" during his interview, as well as his casual attitude while being confronted over his behaviour. He was also one of several suspects to have seen the show beforehand. At the time, thirty-five-year-old Timothy started a conversation with a Perverted Justice decoy who was acting the part of a thirteen-year-old boy named "Kyle." Even though his conversation log isn't available online, it is known that he initially went by the screen name "mytboi" and that he lied about his age, claiming to be twenty-six. He appeared to be careful to avoid discussing sex. That didn’t matter…he still got to meet Chris.

30 Dec 2024 | Robert Graber | 00:31:43 | |
You just never know what kind of an excuse a suspected sex predator will come up with when he’s confronted. A 25-year-old, Robert Graber, described online in graphic detail how he was going to take the virginity of a 13-year-old—then he said it was all a ruse. And when he finds out he’s going to be on national television...”I’m Chris Hansen with Dateline NBC,” Graber gives some sage advice. “Do not mess around on-line. It can get you really in trouble. I’m extremely sorry. And I hope I don’t go to jail or anything. I’m really sorry.”

07 Jun 2021 | 20: "Well I'll watch ya!” | 00:28:13 | |
Kevin Westerbeck was one of the predators caught in the Greenville, Ohio sting. He is one of the most hated predators on the show and is frequently made fun of due to his height.
Westerbeck was a 47 year old Budget Analyst for the US Military working at Wright Patterson Air Force Base at the time of his involvement on the show. He started chatting with “Destiny”, a girl he believed to be thirteen. He admits to the decoy that he had been arrested and sentenced for soliciting already and was due to start serving his time at the end of the week. Westerbeck asks to come over and after making sure the meeting is about sex, he gives the dimensions of his penis.
On the day of the meet, Westerbeck arrives and is greeted by the decoy by voice. The decoy told him to wait at the barstool while she changed, though Westerbeck insisted that he watch her as he tried to follow her voice. Chris Hansen arrived in order to stop him from meandering deeper into the house and told Westerbeck to take a seat. Westerbeck waddled to the stool and climbed up onto it. Chris then grilled him about the chat as well as reference Westerbeck‘s previous arrest for soliciting minors.

14 Oct 2024 | Vaikunth Soundarajan | 00:36:41 | |
Vaikunth Soundarajan is a suspected predator that appeared on the Petaluma, California sting. He is best known for his bizarre pirate fetish, as well as being one of few Petaluma suspects whose uncut police interrogation and interview with Chris was later leaked online. Vaikunth, twenty-six years old then, began chatting with a girl he believed to be thirteen. He was a massive fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and wanted to play out a fantasy with the girl where he would kidnap her from her room dressed as a pirate and take her away to have sex with her (statutory rape and kidnapping, folks). Besides the sex talk and bizarre pirate fantasies, Vaikunth's chat was relatively tame, although it was still entirely inappropriate given the context.

29 Jan 2024 | Andre Maurice Jackson | 00:40:04 | |
Andre Maurice Jackson is an unaired suspected predator involved in the Riverside, California investigation. Andre, 26 years of age, used the graphic screen name "hardblackdick", to begin a chat with a decoy who pretended to be a 12-year-old girl. He met the decoy on teenspot.com, a popular social networking site for teenagers at the time. He claimed to be twenty and was considered a "fast mover" because of how fast he traveled to the sting house to meet the decoy after only two chat sessions over a period of three days. Surprisingly, Andre became the very last man to show up at the Riverside sting house. Although many in the TCaP community think little of him, he is considered a "hidden gem" by some due to how anxious he appears to be while being interviewed by Chris.
