Anyone catch Dateline last night?

I'm not sure if it was a repeat but I hadn't seen it before. Man, I can't turn those off when they come on. Each show is pretty much the same. They setup a sting and lure in a bunch of freaky looking and/or fat ugly men who prey on underage boys and girls online and then when they go to what they think is a meeting with the child Chris Hansen pops out of an air conditioner...er I mean from behind a curtain and confronts them while cameras roll.

Great stuff! I laugh my ass off at those pathetic losers. It just never gets old. :laugh:

I hope they keep doing these shows forever and keep locking up these freaks.

I think it's been discussed here a couple times.

I know, it's been a while though.

Here's a great bit of info from the 'Dateline' website:

This may surprise you, but here in Georgia, a number of men who showed up for sex with a minor after explicit online chats had close ties to organized religion. After meeting and chatting with someone who told him she was a 15 year-old virgin, Zavior01 asks he new friend if she?s ever had an orgasm? The decoy says ?I don?t think so? and Zavior01 says: ?good.?

Zavior01 turns out to be a 32-year-old media director at his church-- a position working with young teens. Then there?s an all American clean-cut looking man who has a Myspace page that says: ?Jesus Rocks? and that his number one hero is God. But he had better hope that God wasn?t looking when he was chatting online with a decoy from Perverted Justice. Much of the chat is too graphic to include here. As you?ll soon see he?ll be detailing his ?conflicts? to me and then later to police.

It's sad how many guys do this. I couldn't imagine being a young girl in a position where creepy guys are constantly a threat like that. Every girl I've dated, or good looking girl I've known has some story about how when they were early teens some old guy always tried something or was just a d1ckhead.

Of course I guess it's more common than we think, it's just illegal now, thus hidden moreso. If you look back at ancient times, the Romans, Egyptians, etc all were marrying off their teenage girls to old men. Of course back then they didn't live as long as we did and didn't have the same concept of age differentiation.

EDIT: Yeah, I love how that one 22 year old guy had a myspace page talking about "Jesus Rocks!", and listing his hero as God. He told the interviewer he was there because he was a virgin, but he was asking this little girl if she liked anal and oral....sick fvckers.
