could get in serious trouble you know right I could go to jail I know love knows no age but most people don't think this isn't 12 Johnson I know that's dumb have you done this before no have you ever contacted an underage girl online before yes we have evidence of that to a 13 year old so why should I believe you've never done this before I just first of me welcome a chance you woke up a few weeks ago and said I'm gonna chat up this girl and drive from your home where New York in Brooklyn Queens Queens you said Brooklyn or do you work another I'm working Brooklyn okay and you live in Queens yes

yourself hey there's no way I'm getting out of this anyway so I'm not gonna say any more well Joshua I don't know what else to say except that I'm Chris Hanson and this is an investigation called Hansen vs. predator so if there's anything else you want people to know now is the time to leave can I use the bathroom cuz I've been holding it for quite some time I think you should go after I caught this predator the Fairfield Connecticut cops put him under arrest he has officers search his yellow car he's handcuffed put into an unmarked car cops drive alone to the police station can you open all your hands sir after he's fingerprinted and photographed he'll spill his guts to detective no wait on us we've already in there so we're good to go here the hungry guy the detectives give him some Chinese takeout he's waived his rights to remain silent and what he's about to say will shock you in his 12 and age that you're comfortable with that's your preference or obtainable ages what okay here you I think I I think older or younger now cologne is about to make a truly stunning confession listen closely man to have such relations with someone older than 12 how old 15 was that a few months back Cologne then reveals his biggest fear to his leaving me instead of a little girl when I talk but I never actually went to meet um because that was always afraid what to be like on that guy's show what exactly if you could if you could erase him from walking into the kitchen today what do you envision yourself doing right now if that hadn't happened you guys know it your intention was to have sex with her yeah okay did you tell her you loved her yes why I guess there's something to pull her in like this what do you think would be different about a sexual experience with a young girl versus an older person your age the older person owes more than experience I guess in some way this power of having an inexperienced person cologne surely is going to choke on his chicken noodles after the detective calls the watch commander to find out how much his bail will be he's gonna make it seven hundred and fifty thousand which is very high Helen's bond is eventually set at a hundred and twenty five thousand dollars and he bails out what surprised you most about the results of this investigation how vulnerable our children are how the Internet has made our children so much more vulnerable to individuals that want to do them harm and how easy it is to entice children the text messages the visit to the house evidence so overwhelming that cologne pleads guilty to three felony charges attempted second-degree sexual assault and have been risk of injury to a minor and attempting to entice a minor by computer Cologne is sentenced to seven years in prison suspended after serving three and he must register as a sex offender he's traded life in the big city for the big house we got another one off the streets for now watch out there are more predators out there I'm gonna catch them what's scary about cologne is how unapologetic he seems about the whole thing so I'm up here now in the New York office because I get emails from parents all the time after they watch these segments asking how they can better protect their kids from these creeps well it starts right here on the computer and with this your smartphone here are some short tips for you number one educate yourself on all the new social platforms you don't need to use snapchat or whisper but you need to understand how they work number two curfew their cell phones set a time than kids smartphones go on a family charging station for the night these creeps like to work in the late night hours and lastly number three have a blunt age-appropriate discussion with your kids when I did the very first investigation I showed it to a group of young teens they thought the Predators were actually actors they were shocked to see guys really do this and I was shocked when I asked the group if any had been approached online in an inappropriate way and not told their parents 75 percent said yes yes 75 percent which is very scary for more on how to protect your kids online just go to crime watch
