'To Catch a Predator' III

During each of our Dateline stings, we tell these men their stories are going to be exposed on national television. 

The teacher who wanted to get naked and have sex with a 12-year-old turned to leave, and puts a shirt over his head.

As for the actor who made plans online for sex in the shower with someone he thought was 13, I told him he's about to get another role.

And remember those two men who admitted they’d watched Dateline?

Hansen (hidden camera footage): Have you ever seen our stories on computer predators?

Daniel Pulido: Yes.

Hansen: This is one of them. Now if there is anything else you would like to say for yourself...

Pulido: No that’s it.

Hansen: Then obviously you’re free to go.

Pulido: Thank you.

One of them, “southbayguy310” not only saw Dateline’s earlier investigation, he was also caught online before by Perverted-Justice and unbelievably, he drove by our house while detectives where still arresting another man. He came in anyway.

Hansen: Do you ever watch Dateline NBC?

Keith Williams: Ah, I’ve seen that episode actually and that’s why I don’t prefer to be on camera.

Hansen: Well, I’m Chris Hansen.  You saw the earlier episode. 

Williams: Yes, I did.

Hansen: So let me get this straight.  You saw our earlier story.

Williams: Right.

Hansen: You drove by this house and saw police out front.

Williams:   Yeah.

Hansen: Yet you walked in here anyway.

Williams: I’m bored.  Like I told you.

Hansen:  Bored? Well whatever you’d like to say, we’d like to hear it. But obviously you’re free to go.

Willilams: Well, what I’m gonna tell you is, is I’m never gonna do this again.  I’m everything I love in life.  I’m gonna go home.  I’m gonna get rid of my computer.

Hansen: But you came here, Keith. You walked through the door; you talked to the girl.

Williams: I understand that.

Hansen: You gotta want something to risk coming in here after seeing police out front.

Williams: Oh, I just thought she might have been true about something next door, I don’t know. Honestly, I don’t know. Now when I walk out of here am I going to be arrested?

Hansen: That’s not up to me.

Perverted-Justice has been sending its information directly to the sheriff’s detectives who have been camped outside the sting house for the past three days. They’ve been arresting men in record numbers, and charging them with attempting to molest a child—a felony.  The number of men is so high it surprises everyone, even the lead investigator and the deputy district attorney Michelle Paradise.

Sgt. Chad Bianco: I did not expect this many suspects arriving at the house.

Michelle Paradise, deputy district attorney: I was surprised at how many actually came in just that period of time.  It was alarming. What is happening down the street?  What is happening around the corner?  What is happening within our county?

In three days, 51 men chatted online with a decoy posing as a 12 or 13-year-old, spoke on the phone, got in some type of vehicle and drove to our house.  And out of the 51, all but one were arrested.

Some went easily, others at first made a dash for it. One way or the other, they all ended up at a temporary booking station set up at a parking lot.
