On this episode of Have a Seat, Chris Hansen is joined by defense attorney Doug Passon because they both have someone “in common”, film director Lance Oppenheim. Passon recounts his dealing with Oppenheim and how the then budding filmmaker used footage from an event run by Passon and without his or anyone’s permission or expressed written consent. The film was released by The New York Times and Oppenheim still promotes it on his website, leaving Passon to question the validity of Oppenheim’s previous and current work.

A rainy night at a Michigan truck stop. A 36-year-old construction worker named Josh Bigford rolls in expecting a quiet $80 deal — and walks straight into a sting run by Chris and the Genesee County Sheriff’s Ghost Team. The chat damns him before he ever drives over. He negotiates a price, asks if she’s a cop, then she tells him she’s 15. He admits he could go to jail just for texting her. Says it’s wrong. Says he’s not doing it. He shows up anyway, circles the lot once, then comes back and walks toward deputies waiting in the dark. In cuffs, he reaches for the oldest excuse there is: good Samaritan, just dropping off cash for a stranded kid. No 911 call. No explanation for the condom in his pocket. He pleaded guilty. Two years’ probation, and a name now on the registry. He wished she hadn’t told him her age. He came anyway.

In the wake of the recent arrest of Bryant Moreland, the once popular YouTuber known as EDP445, Chris Hansen has a seat once again with Mike Clum, the filmmaker behind The Sick Mind of EDP445. For the film, Hansen interviewed Moreland on the 2021 incident regarding his attempt to meet up with and underaged girl, and it was during this interview that Moreland revealed he would have had inappropriate relations if there was a child. This admission led authorities in California to finally charge Moreland with four felonies and take him into custody.

Tyler Devault had a University of Maryland criminal justice degree, a government-contractor job, and a clean record. He also had a 14-year-old girl's number. He was 33. When the "girl" told him her age, he balked: "That's way too young." Then he kept talking. He asked three separate times whether Chris Hansen would be there. He joked about being "set up" and about getting "caught." Then he picked up a pizza, half pepperoni and half cheese, and drove to a house in Harford County, Maryland. He walked in, asked if he should take his shoes off, set the pizza down, and opened his arms for a hug. "Oh, I knew it," he said when Chris appeared. He had seen the shows and knew exactly how this ended. Asked why he came, all he had was "a little stupid person in the back of my head saying, just see what happens." Devault pleaded guilty and got ten years, with one year already served, followed by five years of probation and sex offender registration in Maryland. Sponsored by: Home Title Lock: Go to…

Instead, he drove to a house in the Louisiana countryside to meet a “15-year-old girl.” He was married, with kids aged nine and two.

The two weigh in on the allegations against seven Cornell University students accused of sexual assault of a female undergraduate who claimed she was pressured into consuming ketamine, marijuana, and alcohol during the hours long assault in 2024.

Second-grade teacher. Children's book author. A polished bio built on a climb out of poverty in Jamaica. And on June 2, 2026, Ashay Shakes was on a hookup app, telling a "15-year-old boy" he was 29 and asking him to get in an Uber. In this episode of Predators I've Caught, Chris Hansen returns to a six-day sting in Marion County, Florida, where 58 men surfaced. Shakes was told the boy's age twice. He sent a picture of himself in his underwear, gave his address, and pressed the "boy" to come right away. When he walked outside to meet the Uber, detectives were waiting. In the interrogation room, Shakes says it was a setup and insists, "I'm not a predator." Chris answers with the chat logs. Shakes pleaded guilty and got four years in the Florida prison system.

He could have been anyone in a Walmart aisle. A 27-year-old Louisiana mason who laid brick floors for a living. But in September 2025, Hunter Easterling drove ten minutes to a house where he believed a 15-year-old girl was home alone. He knew her age. He knew the risks. He knew the registry was waiting. He came anyway, and he took his shoes off at the door. Then Chris told him to have a seat. What follows is a familiar routine of fading memory, shifting ages, and blame aimed at a child who never existed. Asked what should happen to a man who does what he came to do, Easterling, father of a seven-year-old, says he'd shoot him. He has since pleaded guilty and will serve two years in Louisiana state prison, followed by the registry he feared.

Chris asks every predator the same question: what would have happened if we weren't here? This case answers it. March 31, 2025. Livingston Parish, Louisiana. By day, 30-year-old Kleider Enrique Garcia Ochoa washes dishes at a local restaurant. Online, he's sending explicit photos to a boy he believes is 15, pressing for nudes, and asking one telling question: are your parents home? Minutes later he walks into the sting house carrying a bag with condoms, car keys, and a Venezuelan passport. Through a translation app, Chris gets lie after lie. He's 25. No, 27. He has a green card. The boy was an adult. Then Ochoa bolts, and he doesn't get far. What surfaced after the cuffs went on was worse. He was in the country illegally, reportedly tied to the Tren de Aragua gang, and the car he drove to the house was part of a suspected human trafficking operation under Homeland Security investigation. Last week, he was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison, followed by deportation. Sponsored by: OneSkin: Get 15% off…

Michael Rhodes did seventeen years in the Louisiana prison system for dealing meth. Hard labor, hard time, the kind that's supposed to take. A year out and working a forklift, he spent two days sending explicit messages to someone who told him she was fifteen - then drove up to a sting house on the river in Livingston Parish in shorts and a tank top for the date. The decoy who let him in works at the parish jail by day. She had him talking about his own record before Chris ever came through the door. Rhodes says he was just talking. In this part of the country, that's a felony. There's a condom in his wallet, a machete in his car, and a fifteen-year-old daughter at home - the same age as the girl he showed up to see. Asked what should happen to him, he finally says something true. Last week he pleaded guilty. Seven years. This time he doesn't go back as a drug dealer. Learn more about your ad choices.

He ran presidential motorcades. He escorted foreign heads of state through the streets of Washington. And for a month and a day, Lieutenant Matthew Mahl of the D.C. Metropolitan Police — 47 years old, 23 years on the job — groomed a boy he believed was fifteen. He talked about soccer games and homework. He talked about Italy, about schools over there, about a life together after he retired. He sent photos of himself in uniform. He sent photos from the fold-out couch in his office at police headquarters. He knew the age of consent in Maryland was sixteen, and he admitted to the boy he had everything to lose. Then he took the day off and drove ninety minutes to a house in Harford County where he thought the fifteen-year-old was home alone. Chris and Detective Chris Sergeant, the investigator who worked the chats, walks through the sheriff's report line by line, and watches from inside the sting house as a SWAT team cuts the lieutenant off in the driveway.

Edmundo Da Silva wore a TSA badge. He was trusted at the front line of American aviation security — until February 2024, when he got in his car in North Carolina, kids' birthday presents in the back seat, and spent the drive to Florida trolling Reddit for something else entirely. What he found was a "father" offering up his 15-year-old daughter in a Polk County hotel room. What was actually waiting for him was the Polk County Sheriff's Office - and Chris’s cameras. In this episode, Chris walks you through the chat logs, the takedown, and the courtroom collapse: the fake name, the $80 handoff, the room key, the screaming arrest, the "entrapment" defense, and the plea deal Da Silva turned down before a jury needed just 20 minutes to convict him on all counts.

He knew she was 15. He came anyway. Titus Miles thought he was careful. The 34-year-old Baton Rouge mechanic circled his target slowly - no talk of school, no small talk, just a man "sniffing around" a girl he believed was 15. He hesitated. He second-guessed. He even admitted, "I should have trusted how I felt earlier." Then he drove to the sting house anyway. In this episode, Chris breaks down the Livingston Parish sting that ended with Miles sentenced to two years in prison and a lifetime on the sex offender registry - from the detective who ran the chats to the young deputy decoys who gave him every chance to walk away.

This week, Chris confronts Ivan Walters, a 43-year-old government employee who drove to meet someone he believed was a 14-year-old boy for sex.

For 30 years, Derman Kenneth Thomas clocked in at a Georgia zipper plant. Clean record. Wife. Grown kid. Then one night in Ocala, Florida - bored in a motel off the interstate - he opened a hookup app. The girl said she was 14. She told him five times. He didn't log off. He asked where her parents were. Chris takes you inside the Marion County sting that put the 55-year-old face-down at midnight, surrounded by tasers and drawn guns just two hours after his first text. The chat logs. The "proof of life" photos. The phone call where Thomas said exactly what he wanted. The Motel 6 pickup plan. Then the interrogation, where Thomas reaches for every excuse in the playbook and keeps landing on one word: he "entertained" it. As if getting caught erases the intent. He turned down a plea deal, gambled on a jury, and lost: guilty on all counts. Ten years in Florida state prison.

He bought two Happy Meals. He wasn't meeting an adult. 62-year-old John Coughlin walked up a quiet driveway in Iron Mountain, Michigan carrying kids' meals and a jar of marijuana for what he believed was a 14-year-old girl. What he found instead was Chris and the Dickinson County Sheriff's Office. In this episode, Chris takes you inside his sting operation in Michigan's Upper Peninsula that netted seven predators, and Coughlin's case is the one that rattled him. A laundromat manager and one-time country club cook, Coughlin sent explicit videos to the decoy, asked if she was "420 friendly," and showed up ready. And here's the chilling part: he'd ALREADY been caught once. A live warrant from a Shelby Township sting was sitting in the system while he trolled other underage girls' photos online. His excuse? "Bored and lonely." His admission? "I knew better than this." He did. He came anyway.

He took an oath to do no harm. Then he drove to a house where he believed a 15-year-old girl was waiting alone. Dr. Mansoor Ahmed spent his days as a trusted nephrologist in New Orleans. But when Chris's team set up a sting in Livingston Parish, Louisiana, a very different man walked through the door. The chat logs were explicit. The intent was unmistakable. And when confronted, Ahmed reached for an excuse Chris had never heard in decades of these investigations: he claimed a child had bullied him into coming. In this episode, Hansen walks through the decoy conversations line by line, exposing how Ahmed leveraged his medical credentials to groom his target — and dismantles every deflection the doctor throws at him. "You're sorry because you got caught," Chris tells him.

Iron Mountain, Michigan. The Upper Peninsula. Postcard country: pine trees, quiet streets, the kind of place where nothing bad is supposed to happen. But in three days, seven men came knocking at one unassuming sting house. This is the story of one of them. Kelsey Burbank is 29. He coordinates online orders at the local Walmart. By day, he's just another face in a small town. By night, he's "Two Googly Eyes" on Grindr, and he's been messaging someone he believes is a 15-year-old boy. He knows the age. He says he wishes he didn't. He keeps typing anyway. On the other end of his explicit two-hour chat? An undersheriff. What follows is a raw confrontation with Chris: the excuses, the deflection, the claim he was "just looking for friends." From first message to handcuffs to an 18-month sentence, this is the predatornext door - exposed.

“I’m not a pedophile.” A sting operation in Florida. A man with nothing left to lose. Given three to six months to live with the terminal diagnosis. Most people spend that time saying goodbye, making amends, telling the people they love what they mean to them. 58-year-old Darrel Rockwell spent one of those precious days online, searching for sex with a 13- or 14-year-old girl. In this episode, Chris walks through how Rockwell's online conversations led him directly into the sting operation in Marion County, Florida — and how the encounter ended with Rockwell trying to flee the scene, sinking his own car in the process. It’s a hard look at what people do with the time they have left — and why vigilance never gets to take a day off.
