Chris Hansen is going back into the predator-catching business, but this time he’s asking his fans to help him.
The veteran network news correspondent, known for the “Dateline NBC” investigative series “To Catch a Predator,” is turning to crowd funding to support a new hidden-camera operation to capture men who use the Internet to find underage sex partners. The results will become the basis for a new series, “Hansen vs. Predator.” Full Article
This organization should be ripe for legal action against it if it restarts. So many constitutional violations during the original run destroyed the reputation not just of NBC, but of the agencies it “partnered” with on these shows that it only resulted in low conviction rates and hundreds of thousands of dollars by police jurisdictions and one suicide. First Amendment privilege goes so far, but when Chris yells at the perps to explain their actions as they are arrested, that essentially negates Miranda and a multitude of other rights.
I wonder what ghost that Hansen has in his closet that keeps him riding this horse. I think people may want keep their children away from him.
Well, I’m not sure what to say. I have saw the show and saw some rather disturbing things/one of the guys was clearly mentally handicapped and had an issue. No offense, but this is entrapment. I know some of the individuals had their cases dismissed due to legal issues. I was rather distraught to see one of the females working for perverted justice/this is a disturbing name in itself was a lesbian and obviously didn’t like men. So, who goes around working for a non profit organization that is out to bust men seeking under age girls/or boys. I don’t think volunteers should be placed in this capacity. You just read about the volunteer police officer shooting a suspect rather than pepper spraying him/by accident? Whats next? Bad idea.
The man is trash and just making a career out of ruining peoples lives exactly as John Walsh has done…turned his tragedy into a television career!
What a horrible way to have his child remembered…by causing more and more suffering for countless other children! Shame on these men!
Sick at worse pathetic at best!
Chris Hansen is a narcissistic D-Bag!!!
Chris Hansen got fired from NBC for having an affair with a woman aged 30, 20+ years younger than Hansen in 2013. Wonder what else could be uncovered by a lie detector test of this opportunistic blowhard.
Shame on the LA Times for even bothering to report this absurdity and giving it free publicity so that all the kool-aid drinkers out there can help him keep the hype going. Shame on all the idiots out there who actually believe he’s only catching predators and are giving him money.
Maybe we can Kickstart some “fan fiction” spinoff for this old Chris Hansen related episode of The Boondocks…

Bottom line the stings made popular on to catch a predator should be illegal.
Just great…a resurgence of “To Catch a Predator”, hosted by Hansen the Whoremonger! I’m guessing that’s all he can do, is live vicariously through those he entraps, getting off on the thrill of the chase and catch, all the while living a lie, being a cheating husband and a low life who pretends he is so much holier than others. I’m guessing this will be a huge flop, and that whichever network sponsors or allows it, will get their fat pocketbooks drained through lawsuits. Remember, beware of the Zealots!
