Chris Hansen Is Back Catching Predators!

 

     "To Catch A Predator" was a popular TV show that ran from June 2004 until December 2007. Over the course of 12 investigations, Chris Hansen confronted more than 300 sex predators, resulting in more than 240 men being convicted of felonies for soliciting a minor online for sex. The stings were seen by tens of millions of people and were the subject of extensive media coverage, contributing to the passage of the 2006 Adam Walsh Child Protection Act. 

     Hansen has also investigated airport regulations in the wake of 9/11, confronted hundreds of scammers, and taken on child slavery and prostitution in Asia. Since 2014, he has been a free agent, hosting shows like "Homicide For The Holidays" and "Killer Instinct" as well as "Crime Watch Daily." As part of the latter show, in 2015 he conducted a sting in Fairfield, Connecticut, called "Hansen vs. Predator" that led to 11 felony convictions. Since 2019, he has garnered over 300,000 subscribers and 20 million views on his YouTube show "Have A Seat With Chris Hansen," which has investigated high-profile predator cases like Onision and Dahvie Vanity. 

     Just days ago, Hansen announced a sting in Flint, Michigan, his home as a child. In an 8-hour span, 3 men chatted online, agreed to meet, and drove to a motel to meet a 13-15-year-old for sex. A 4th man who drove off when he saw another arrest is being charged, as well. The names have not been released, as charges are pending. However, we have seen previews and know small bits of information about those arrested.

     An 18-year-old who babysits children and expressed his affection for BDSM, a corrections officer who guards men accused of the same crime, and a laborer who has worked in the Michigan Governor's Mansion were all arrested. More, bigger operations across Michigan are on the way.

        Kevin Westerbeck was convicted in November 2006 of luring a child in Darke County and had 9 months added to his sentence of 11 months for soliciting a police decoy in Fairborn in 2005. He was also convicted of molesting his niece and sentenced to another 10 years as well as lifetime sexual predator status. He was released in December 2016, and he has been spotted stocking shelves at a Kroger store.       Jeffrey Stacy was convicted and sentenced to 6 months in jail, forfeiture of his car, probation until 2010, and sex offender registry until 2017.

He was recently fired from a position instructing children at a karate dojo after his TCAP appearance was uncovered.       Timothy Isaac was convicted in 2006 and sentenced to 8 months in jail and RSO status until 2017. He was removed then, and little is known about his life since then. He, unfortunately, did not

The "Jesus Rocks" Predator Is Telling Lies Again

Image
     Matthew Clifton Cogburn was born on July 22nd, 1984, in Gray, Georgia, where he was raised and ultimately spent his life. Apparently, his childhood was fairly normal for a kid in Georgia: he spent eight years flattening out a pile of dirt near his home, enjoyed playing with LEGOs, was an average student in school, and was raised as a very religious child, attending church camps every summer. He graduated Jones County High School in 2002. Around 2004, he began chatting with strangers online, later attributing it to "undiagnosed OCD," a subpar explanation at best.      Cogburn worked and attended college in 2006, bouncing from apartment to apartment during the school year, and his employer had enough faith in him to actually give the man his job back after a minor setback occurred in the form of Cogburn's appearance on To Catch A Predator in July of that year. He earned a pair of handcuffs in Fortson, Georgia, just outside of Columbus and two hours from his home. Howev
