    I know.
    It was a "hit show".
    But if you followed up on these sickos many of the cases were never prosecuted.

    A wise man on this site once told me that he won't do the research for me.
    So yes, seriously.
    Follow it up.

    edit - Some may have been "prosecuted" but many were set free due to lack of blah, blah, blah,....

    "Lack of blah blah blah"?

    Would that be lack of due process?

    If you are ever arrested, you will probably be hoping that due process will be followed.

    As many people on here seem to want a civil protest a great many would not want to be arrested.
    If the due process can't contain predators of children we are in trouble.

    Everything I know about underage sex crimes I learned from Dateline. Was sort of a guilty pleasure of ours while it was on, something about watching a sicko have the worst day of their life was entertaining.

    It seems in the early seasons Chris Hanson would let them go with a warning. I even remember one of the early episodes they caught the same guy again on day 2! Seriously, I mean after all that you'd go straight back online and prey on another child within hours? But soon they received so many complaints that they were just letting these sick people back on the street they started involving the cops and were arrested on the spot.
    They would end each episode with a follow-up of each person in the episode, and many received pretty harsh sentences. In many states thinking you are sexting or meeting an underage person for sex is just the same as if it was a real underage person. Some states the penalties seemed less, but almost all seemed to get convicted of something and most had to register....after the first season or two when the police were involved anyway.

    Yeah, I don't think I ever saw those earlier shows where the cops weren't involved, but I do remember the updates on everyone in the later shows, and much more often than not they were sentenced and registered.
