I can't ******* stand this. Thumb me down all you guys want.
Ruining people's lives and making a ******* entertainment program is just ******* deplorable. Does that guy look like a rapist to you? Does he look like a sexual predator that intends to molest people that never gave consent?
No it's just some ******* normal person who doesn't want to hurt anyone, and happens to be intruding on this arbitrary taboo number of "18". Thumb me down all you want, I'm so sick of this witch hunting garbage.
You're not wrong that this show causes immense damage to the lives of all it's victims, however I don't disagree with it at all.
That girl, in the comic, said she was literally 12 or 13 years old. Shes obviously not, shes an 18 year old actress. If that **** was going on the beach to meet with my 12 year old daughter to try and **** her, i ******* promise you the police would be the safer option.
They never have the girl pretend to be 17 or 16, which are legal ages in Ny and NJ for example, they always go below 15. No man over 18 should be going after a girl younger than 15. If you disagree with that, we have a problem.
They also specifically explained that they look at the suspects history. If the guy just got tempted and thought he could get away with going a little young and it's his first time offense, they apparently go much easier on them with jail time and such. It's the repeat, 50 year old, creepy ass, new balance shoes, khaki shorts long socks wearing pervert faggots they're going after.
There was one guy who came in and literally didnt even try to talk to the girl, he was going in for the rape and they stopped him.
he demonstrably is a pedophile looking for someone to molest...
I get it that you're okay with pedophilia, but don't stand up for this man on any faux moral standards, bitch.
Thumb ME down if you want, but if this guy tried to hook up with my 13 year old daughter, he wouldn't need the police. The morgue would be more suitable to his heart beating capabilities.
Just two autist neckbeard pedophiles? Hmmm.....I actually expected more. At least one of them is proud of his bearded neck....must have felt all euphoric after that last fedora purchase.
Not that I agree / disagree with you, but uh, how does a sex offender look? Or a bank rober? I mean, you can't really use that as a defense, just because he looks innocent doesn't mean he is completely nuts.
Mainly he looks relatively young. In comparison to that girl, not that much older.
These numbers are so ingrained in our culture that we're starting these witch hunts and defending victims where none exist.
For example, did you know an underage boy got convicted for having nudes of himself on his own phone? That was considered child pornography and he was convicted. We are completely insane as a society now, and our taboos control our morality more than logic, reason or rationality do.
"Does he look like a rapist"
Glad there's a certain look rapists have. We can go ahead and avoid them 100% of the time and never have to worry about rape again.
Alert the media! This guy can identify rapists just by looking at them! Everyone form a line so that severepwner can identify all the rapists!
Sarcasm and ********** aside: these men approach what they believe to be underage girls with intent on having sexual relations with them. This isn't some guy who saw a girl sitting on the beach and decided to chat with her. The entire premise of the show is these men are meeting the girls for sexual encounters they had previously discussed online.
While I always find it entertaining to watch people get their just deserves, I do disagree with you on your point. It isn't the show that is ruining people's lives, it is most certainly the person themselves. The show lays out the trap, but the person takes the illegal bait, damn well knowing that what they are setting out to do is illegal. Now if it was something as a preexisting relationship and one of the people in it turned 18, there is a very slim chance that they would be prosecuted on it. However I have watched "To catch a predator" for many years and I have heard **** that made my skin crawl, and they have shown guys going after 11-13 year olds too. But the ones who are truly ******* up people's lives are the ones who do meet actual young children online, and pray on them. That is what this show is trying to deter, and open eyes about.
I haven't seen this show tbh so my question would be
How old are the girls they want to seduce? Cause if they are really ******* young I totally agree with their lifes being destroyed. If they are like 17 1/2 this is ******** .
They use an actress who looks younger than she is and they typically say they are 13 or 14. The actress isnt even talking to the guy online, the cops are. She is just briefed on things he said that she can bring up to incriminate him more.
They're meeting them with the intent of seducing them and having sex with underage girls, they read the messages they send to the "underage girl" and they're always explicit. Most turn up with gifts such as alcohol and condoms. If you think they're having their life ruined, you're right; they deserve it though and the fear this puts into potential would be pedophiles that are trying the same thing makes it safer for children
The thing I think is wrong with the program is that they are luring these guys out, it's not like he's the one finding the girl, because guess what, there is no girl.
What he does isn't even illegal, unless the show uses an actual under aged girl, in which it feels like they are the ones being illegal.
Also isn't it illegal for police to set up booby traps?
I mean, the guy is chatting with a girl thats above 18 and he's meeting up with a girl that's above 18, nothing illegal about that. And why would it be illegal to visit an underaged girl? He hasn't had sex with her, so nothing illegal there.
This show is a joke and only retarded people will see the guy as a predator.
What you're thinking of is called entrapment. Which this is clearly not. He found the girl on the internet who may be under 18, and visited her house with clear intentions. Source: I did compliance checks when I was 15 for the state patrol. This isn't entrapment
Ah, yeah. I forgot state laws are different. In some states, if the third party is associated with police, it is considered entrapment, but others believe that a third party is still independent from the state even when they cooperate with the police.
They never initiate contact with the suspects, the suspect always messages first.
The suspect is always informed multiple times that the girl is under 15.
There IS a girl, she's just not 12..., if they are under the impression that the girl is 12 and they try to meet her, by showing clear intent (driving to the house, potentially bringing condoms, liquor, etc..) they deserve all of it.
I never said you would get in trouble for anything you said, im just ******* with you. Regardless yeah they show the behind the scenes stuff and after they explain the process you feel less empathy for the predator.
Cops are allowed to set up sting operations. A cop can pretend to be a drug dealer and offer to sell you drugs and then arrest you for trying to buy his drugs, even if there were no drugs at the scene. By admitting "I am here to buy marijuana from you" you fall under the jurisdiction of mens rea - which has an entire wikipedia page you can read about it on.
In this case, substitute "marijuana" with "underage girl" and "buy" with "have sex with". Same concept.
By the emperor, I have Never been so ashamed as I am now, to think I share the same site with such sub-human refuse, I hope all of you that agree with this pedophile/pedophile sympathizer take a good look at yourselves. To all of you who still think some 25-50 year old guy/gal molesting some 10-13 girl/boy is ok, I suggest removing yourselves from this mortal coil as soon as possible.
they use young profiles and profile pics they ask the age and send sexual content that alone is illegal then they show up to place where they think there will be a preteen girl. these guys are ******* stupid to get caught
Well, how old were they portraying her as in the episode? If they said she was 14, I'd say that's a little beyond an arbitrary taboo number. Even if they said she was 17 (which I doubt) he's still breaking the law. Just because you don't agree with a law doesn't exempt you from the consequences of breaking it.
Laws can be wrong and sometimes should be changed. Laws are not made as an objective sense of morality (which is what the idea of a legal system is) they were designed by a single group of people for what they thought was right, but may have been wrong.
Just because it's the law, doesn't mean it's right.
I do agree with that. But again, simply because you believe a law is wrong doesn't make you above the law. Civil disobedience, appeals, petitions, speaking with governmental representatives, etc., are all very important and should absolutely be used when you think a law is morally wrong. But you can't expect the law to not apply to you simply because you don't agree with it.
In this episode, they staged as 12-14 year old girls. Rarely do they stage any higher than that because of the legal grey-area that you approach around 15/16 years old.
The age of consent (depending on the state) is 16-18. I'm not trying to start an argument and I can see if she were close to 18 it wouldn't be that big of a deal but I think they use profiles around the really really early teens to lure people. It's kinda scary how much the bait works.
The whole program is about how although no one looks like a rapist, they are at heart a disgusting human being.
Undercover agents chat these guys up in underage chat rooms and because they are working with the police they need to be very clear that the other person KNOWS that they are trying to hook up with a 13-15 year old boy/girl and that they are expressing intent in engaging in sexual acts with someone that they know is underage. A lot of the people on the show do look like sex offenders, and although some do not look very criminal; these are people who often send pictures and disgusting messages to people who they believe are 13-15 year old boys/girls which is just inexcusable.
Stupid questions here. Is intending to have sex with a minor against the law? I mean, can anyone be punished for a crime before commiting it? Shouldn't they wait for the guy to at least try? Also, is the actress really a minor? Because if she is, they are putting her in danger, if she isn't, then he was never against the law(since "she told me she was 18" doesn't hold in court, so "she told YOU she was 13" shouldn't either.)
I think in these situations, at the point they've gone to, yes, it is illegal. I'm not 100% on that, but, as stated before, these scenarios don't play out until after the online thing has gone down and they've stated intentions.
I do think I recall one scenario where a guy hadn't actually stated any perverse intentions, so they just let him go?
They usually ask the guy to bring condoms and alcohol, and if he does then it shows intent to have sex and drink with a minor (I'm fairly sure anyways)
Conspiracy to commit a crime is often punishable in a court of law; if you have every intention of having sex with an underage person, steer a conversation with an underage person in that direction, gain the underage persons willingness, and take steps to meet up with that underage person - there is plenty of evidence that you intended to commit a crime, you took steps towards commtting that crime, and the most reasonable prevention of that crime was not the defendants will but rather the police or individuals who had set up the trap.
Even if they couldn't get them on conspiracy, normally sexually explicit talk with a minor (obviously we're talking a little more than sex ed) or attempting to entice a minor are punishable offenses.
Mens rea - intent to commit, instead of actual liability for committing a crime. Intent is very much punishable in the United States and exists as a precursor to prevent criminals from committing crimes they have shown a certain willingness to commit.
This one kinda makes me sad, they are just chilling on the beach talking and hanging out. he isn't raping her, he isnt asking for sex, he isn't being sexual. they are just hanging out. then chris "ineedmoremoney" hanson comes in, slaps the cuffs on him, calls him a sick pedophile and moves on with his life. And now that dude is in prison. probably got the **** knocked out of him and nearly murdered because criminals take matters into their own hands. he gets out, isnt allowed near schools, he isnt allowed near anyone under 18. his chance of getting a girl are now 0%, he can probably never get a job because no one wants to hire someone with his record. Rant in the spoiler. Note:while he does catch alot of bad people trying to take advantage of kids, this one kinda ticked me.
because physical and emotional maturity are vastly different things, and not everyone matures at the same rate. There are 18-20 year olds who can be tricked into legally "consensual" sex and 14-16 year olds who know what the **** they're doing.
15/16 is reasonable. USA has 18, no exceptions made. So even if one is 17.5 and the other just turned 18, it is still very much illegal. In other countries there are often laws protecting consensual sex as long as they are reasonably aged and it was clear that no abuse was taking place.
Not true at all. Every state has different laws. In New York, you can reasonably expect to avoid prosecution if you're within three years of one another and the younger person is (I believe) above 14-15.
