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.

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.
