Predators on Roblox? Chris Hansen Reveals the Truth Parents Need to Hear | Have A Seat...Live from CrimeCon

Joshua Ralph "Josh" Cummins was caught in a Polk County, Florida sting on Takedown with Chris Hansen. Known for his unsettling phone call and desire to play “the nervous game,” the 28-year-old began chatting online with a decoy posing as a 14-year-old girl. He soon escalated, obtaining her number and talking for nearly an hour. The following night, Josh texted that he was in her area, telling the decoy how to dress and showing up unannounced. She called his behavior “creepy.” Josh later admitted he was high and not thinking clearly, struggling even to find the trailer despite the decoy signaling him. Boasting of a supposed “romance,” he was
instead pulled over and aggressively ordered from his vehicle by police. When Chris confronted him, Josh—head hung low—called his actions “stupid” and denied ever chatting with a minor before.

Inside 'Predators': Justice, Controversy & The Legacy Of 'To Catch A Predator' | David Osit

Thomas Jerome Soetaert is a predator caught in a Marquette County, Michigan investigation of Takedown with Chris Hansen. He is notable for wanting to take the decoy into the middle of the woods to have sex with her. At the time of the sting, Thomas lived in Skandia, Michigan. He previously had a live-in girlfriend, but the relationship failed. He also had two kids who lived with their mother. Thomas began communicating with a decoy posing as a fifteen-year-old girl. Initially, he requested to meet the decoy in the middle of the woods so that the neighbors wouldn't see him, and he wanted to have sex with the minor "doggystyle" while there. Thomas arrived at the sting house, "sex bag" in hand. The decoy asked him
what was in the bag and Thomas responded, ominously, "oh, just something I never told you about that I like to do." It turned out to massage oil that he asked the decoy to smell. That’s when Chris stepped in and Thomas immediately admitted to Chris that he intended to have sex with the girl.

Jared Michael Weaver is a predator caught in a Genesee County, Michigan
investigation of Takedown with Chris Hansen. He is mostly known for claiming that Satan tempted him come to the sting house to sabotage his marriage. Weaver began communicating with a decoy posing as a fifteen-year-old girl. After being informed of the decoy's age, Weaver said, "Ok," then asked if there was a place he could park a medium sized truck and trailer.

When he arrived to the sting house, the decoy asked him about the various loads he had delivered that day, since he was a delivery driver.

John Cono DeSarli Jr. is a predator caught in a Polk County, Florida investigation. He is notable for being obviously high during his interview, and for claiming that he only showed up to prove to the police that he knew it was a sting because of his dark web and tech knowledge. DeSarli Jr. began communicating with a decoy posing as a fourteen-year-old girl. The decoy was run by the Polk County Sheriff's Office as part of its Operation Cyber Guardian II. John DeSarli Jr. arrived at the
hotel used for the sting in his company van and with a shirt draped over his
head just minutes after John Hunter was arrested, Hunter needing to be ducked into a nearby room. DeSarli initially did not comply with officer's orders to get on the ground until his leg was kicked and he was forced to. A deputy accidentally kicked him in the head. Chris Hansen described DeSarli as "combative and smug from the start." 
He was brought to the Polk County Jail and later interviewed by Chris,
who described the interview as "one of the most shocking, surprising, and
frustrating conversations I've ever had."
