Chris Hansen, 'To Catch a Predator' Host, Caught Cheating by Hidden Cameras

Oh, the irony ... It's been reported that Chris Hansen, host of 'To Catch a Predator,' the controversial 'Dateline' show that uses hidden cameras to trap would-be perverts in sting operations, has been caught cheating on his wife ... in a sting operation using hidden cameras.

According to 'The Daily Mail' Hansen found himself on the receiving end of his own hidden camera tactics after the married NBC anchor was secretly filmed on an illicit date with a blonde television reporter 20 years his junior.

He was the subject of a four-month long sting operation conducted by 'The National Enquirer' after he allegedly began an affair with former NBC intern Kristyn Caddell, a 30-year-old Florida journalist.

The Connecticut-based Hansen has been spending more time in South Florida recently for work, reportedly investigating the disappearance of James "Jimmy T" Trindade for 'Dateline.'

Hansen has worked for NBC for two decades, but became famous with 'To Catch a Predator.' Launched in 2005, the show is devoted to the subject of identifying and detaining those who contact people they believe to be below the age of consent over the Internet for sexual liaisons.

Yeah, and the irony of making millions "catching" people on camera for their perversions and then being caught on camera for his own perversions. Totally different, but somehow relatable.

It's not entrapment. The people posing as underage girls do not talk about sex until the predator breaches the subject. They aren't bringing it up themselves, but they appear receptive as a means of catching someone trying to solicit sex from a minor. Using this method, they've captured hundreds of offenders. Plus, it makes for great entertainment.

As usual, you are misinformed on the topic you're commenting on.

EXACTLY!!! I love faux "lawyer" types who thik they are experts on the law. PLUS, nobody makes them actually travel to the house to meet up with the "underage girl/boy"....which is what is the actual basis to establish actual intent. Though, in most states today, actually using the computer to solicit underage children (or people they believe to be underage) is a crime....where the creeps really seal their fate is when they actually travel to the house/place to meet them.

Bottom line....simply providing an opportunity for someone to commit a crime IS NOT entrapment! The behavior on the part of the police has to be so egregious for it to be entrapment. For example.....if an undercover agent went around bugging someone 5 times a day for weeks to buy drugs....and then on day 28, the person breaks and buys some crack from the agent.....yeah that would be entrapment. These stings.....NOPE!!!

And on another legal point.....those escorts that post ads that say "by contacting me, you are agreeing to/and swearing/affirming that you are not a member of law enforcement....." Bwahahahahaha!!!!!! Yeah, that doesn't count for anything either! Ha ha ha!

And this story...cheating on his wife or something!?!? Meh! When I saw a link about this somewhere else earlier...I thought from the header that it was a REAL story.....boy was I wrong!

The National Enquirer is a joke. That's all I'm gonna say.

Justice for him being a liar and working for liars and he is a hypocrite.

What he was doing on his show was entrapment. Just like police posing as prostitutes, or drugs dealers, and so on.

:hatsoff:

The series has been accused of making news rather than reporting news, blurring the line between being a news organization vs. an agency of law enforcement, and having its host impersonate a police officer.

Among the more prominent critics of the series has been Brian Montopoli of the CBS News Public Eye blog and formerly of the Columbia Journalism Review. Montopoli argues that although Dateline NBC leaves legal punishment up to police and prosecutors, broadcasting the suspects on national television, in the context of exposing criminal behavior, is already a form of punishment which the media has no right to inflict. Montopoli also suggests that NBC News is more concerned about ratings than actually bringing online predators to justice:

"But NBC is first and foremost a business, and the producers' motives are not simply altruistic. Perhaps I'm being cynical, but I find it telling that this program has been remade and rerun so often. You could argue that NBC is just making sure as many people as possible are aware predators are out there, but is it too much to think that a little thing called "ratings" might play a part as well?"

In the United Kingdom, columnist and television critic Charlie Brooker wrote of the show that "when a TV show makes you feel sorry for potential child-rapists, you know it's doing something wrong". He also commented on the "overpowering whiff of entrapment" and the potential for viewer complicity, saying of the decoy "she's hot. And at 18, she's US legal...But if you fancy her, you're a pedophile."

In May 2007, a former executive producer for Dateline named Marsha Bartel filed a lawsuit against NBC and made assertions about To Catch a Predator that contradicted what the show purports to be about. She commented on the relationship the show has with the different police organizations and the group Perverted-Justice. The lawsuit was dismissed by the New York Supreme Court in October 2007, citing that NBC has the right to legally dismiss employees without notification. NBC commented on the dismissal: "We believed from the beginning that this case was without merit and we are pleased with the judge's decision."

To Catch a Predator

Montopoli also suggests that To Catch a Predator may not be as immune from the defense of entrapment as the show claims. Although Perverted-Justice volunteers wait for the suspect to initiate contact, former Dateline anchor Stone Phillips concedes that "... in many cases, the decoy is the first to bring up the subject of sex."

***UPDATE: This Texas city has since fired the police chief who orchestrated the sting.***

New evidence obtained from authorities indicates that Perverted Justice and Dateline NBC engaged in entrapment when they targeted an Assistant District Attorney who committed suicide when Dateline cameras stormed onto his lawn and ordered a SWAT team to forcefully enter his home.

I think some people need to go back to law school for a refresher course on entrapment (ohhhh, you never went to law school? My bad! How did I not realize that FACT? Ha ha ha!). Sorry, law enforcement may provide you the opportunity to commit a crime (lead you to water if you will)...they just can not engage in egregious behavior to cause you to actually commit it (make you drink if you will). The case of the Assistant DA in Texas was a bit different.....as they went to his house when he did not actually go to the house for the meet (by tracing his IP address). However, in most every case, they "predators" not only engaged in the behavior online.....BUT, they also actually took the step to go to the place for an in person "meeting"! Come on....by legal definition....that IS NOT entrapment!!!! Soooo, in the name of intellectual honesty.....stop saying it is....especially when, either you are clueless as to what you are talking about....or you are intentionally trying to be dishonest in an effort to get a response from those who know what's what. By the way.....I took courses in Constitutional Law in college (Penn State).....and I got A's in ALL of my law courses....so take what I say for what it is.

I would point out that they found lots of porn, including child pornography on the computers of the Asst. DA in Texas who killed himeself.....so let's not pretend that the guys who got caught (they cancelled future productions of the show btw) aren't the creeps that they are. It is cheesy...sensationalized tv....and basically garbage? OF COURSE! Did law enforcement handle the issue with the Asst. DA in Texas that killed himself just for limelight, attention, and in an attempt to sensationalize it? OF COURSE again. BUT, let's not lose sight of the fact as to who the REAL bad guys are in those stings! Fortunately there wasn't actually a child at the house when the creeps got there.....because we know what would have happened if it weren't a sting and there was a real CHILD involved! Think about that!

Further, even to play devil's advocate and assume that they (The Perverted Justice decoys) instigated the contact online (of course the creep had to make the effort to actually go to the house on their own), nobody made them engage in the online conversation. I mean, what would any of us do if we were in a chat room and we got a PM from someone claiming to be a 13-14 yr old girl and the girl started making sexual comments? Any NORMAL adult male would put them on ignore right from the get go. Then again I said NORMAL!

Bottom line....for those who are ignorant enough of the law to believe it is entrapment.....I've got a few words of advice for you: DON'T COMMIT A FUCKING CRIME!!!!!! Geeees!!!! If you don't do the crime....then you don't have to do the time! DUH!!!!! Nobody MAKES you COMMIT the CRIME!!!! And in cases where the behavior is egregious on the part of law enforcement....and yes that does happen too....then there is often a finding of entrapment & the charges are dropped. But, like I said, simply providing someone with an OPPORTUNITY to engage in CRIMINAL behavior......IS NOT entrapment!
