Man brings pizza to teen’s house, meets Chris Hansen instead

it's Saturday night in the Connecticut suburbs autumn is in the air and this guy is bringing pizza to the door Jeff Sokol is no pizza delivery man cops say he's here to meet a 13 year old girl Sokol drove all the way from Boston to our sting house in Fairfield Connecticut what he doesn't know is that we've placed more than a dozen hidden cameras all over the property his date with a 13 year old is going to be on national TV on so Cole's LinkedIn page he calls himself master of puppets' possibly a reference to a famous heavy metal song he says he graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a degree in management he worked in the insurance industry as an auditor but he says he now drives for lyft the ride-sharing service we're working with the cooperation of the Fairfield Police and the online watchdog group petrichor tetran post pictures of actual 13 year olds on social media we're hiding their identities it's not long before Sokol contacts our decoy we'll call her Bailey and the chat gets a little raunchy are you a virgin lol yeah that is personal no I was with my boyfriend once I really want to be intimate with you do you have pretty feet LOL yeah i don't have homeless feet he then turns the conversation very personal asking questions no adult should ever ask a 13 year old do you trim your blank LOL yeah do you think blank size manners nope X was decent I'm not that big but I know how to satisfy a girl so Cole seems to be worried that Bailey might be an undercover cop so he asked for a custom pic to prove she's real take a selfie holding up four fingers below your face then I would know it's really you my fear is that it's not you that it's someone in law enforcement looking to Neal so on Bailey sends the pic and so close sends of review reply I like it your hands are cute Sokol knows the girl is 13 and he says he knows what he's doing is illegal he has a 44 year old guy I shouldn't be talking to 13 year old girls like this you know I could be put in jail if the police found out we were intimate the only way police would know if we ever got intimate is if someone saw us together or you told the police not by me blank that well tonight intimacy is not on the menu in fact dinner is delayed so quill is late because he says his pipes sprung a leak he thinks he's calling Bayley did tell her he's late but he's actually speaking to Laurie from Tetra in our virtual control room your plumber get there yet finally his plumbing repaired so cool heads down i-95 for Connecticut he picks up a pizza and asks Bailey about what to wash it down with

first I will tell you that doing that because you know now you're making me nervous and you're 44 years old right mmm as a 44 year old guy I should be talking to 13 year old girls like this you know I want to what am I supposed to make it that sorry and paranoia for meeting me no potentially having sex but that is where the breaking the law culture all right punishable up to 20 years did you bring condoms with you today well they plan on having sex do you have that in your car no I'm gonna find out so you might as well tell me now I don't dad check the car you will never tell anyone about us having sex are you sure okay I could be there Saturday afternoon explain explanting wanted to come hang out and it looks like here you wanted to come here and have sex with a 13 year old girl okay is there a is that against the law to like if they have sex with a 13 year old girl and you're 44 yes it's against long meet to meet a girl that's all I don't see how this looks okay but but but do you also see that I was pretty apprehensive about the whole sex thing well would you be wouldn't anybody be if they're not going to try to have sex with a 13 year old to be honest with you you're not gonna believe me but I don't know who you are but I'm sure you're like you know law enforcement but you think I'm law enforcement well I mean that's what it sounds like I was thinking about this on the way down right you two and a half hours the thing about and and and I wasn't gonna I'm not gonna risk it that's that's what I said it's not normal for a 44 year old guy to drive two and a half hours to hang out with a 13 year old I wanna I wanted to hang out see how she was see if a 13 year old girl how often do you do this route then never done it you've never done it so tonight you just decided okay I'm gonna drive two and a half hours oh yeah down high 95 from Boston Vuitton or this hollow island seemed cool to hang out with I mean with that can't find any nothing older girls I can but I thought I was going on so you decided you just come out and hang out with a thirty one girl yeah you can clearly you can clearly see that I'm very apprehensive about them let's say we meet and really like each other and want to continue seeing each other how would we do this like I said as long as you're under 16 age of consent parenthetically nobody can know about it I just can't take that chance what it sounds like here is you're grooming her testing her to make sure it would be okay if you had sex with her so no one would find out it to be honest with you like I said when I was on the way down right let's thinking about the whole thing and and even before I left right I was thinking I'm not gonna have sex with our unless it's legal so you talk about a plan to make it legal to marry her Yeah right yeah not like it's not in two seconds I mean like so if you like you're like next week or the week after you'd marry in your next week No so after just a few days worth of chatting you decide if you love her no you want to have sex with her I don't know if you want to marry her what do you don't know she's 13 I don't know I was just throwing things out like you know just in case I maybe I did like her maybe Liz you know so thank you would marry a 13 you're Brooke cuz she's really cool and you could have sex um after a while if it if it worked out yeah after a while yeah we're like three years of dating I don't know a romantic courtship made me maybe so you're cool with all this you just think this is just fun marchin here's the assault yeah I don't see I know I know what you I know what you're you're well what again what else am I supposed to think Jack I mean do I seem like a like a like a dishonest dirty person I mean do I seem like it to you this chat seems like it it seems like someone's years old shatters chats head is chaptered showing up it's showing up and guess what Jeff you showed up at a home where you knew a 13 year old girl would be alone after a sexually charged conversation online you come in oh I want to hug you nervous you do with everybody you do that every time you meet a 13-year old girl I do I'm gonna meet somebody for the first time hang on but this somebody is not an adult she's 13 you need to please tell me how anymore I'll tell you I'm trying I'm trying to be nice here okay I'm so alive but you're not answering all my questions I will can you just tell me who you are I'm Chris Hanson and this is an investigation so if there's anything else you want people to know anything you want to say now would be a good time this yeah I can't believe this happened well Jeff believe it what cops say 44 year-old Jeff Sokol did will discussed every parent in America in text he freely talks about marrying a 13 year old girl you're almost 14 expletive you're an adult as long as you are under 16 age of consent nobody can know about us but he's not so forthcoming during my confrontation did you bring any sort of a marriage contract I don't want to I don't want to talk anymore come on you can leave you shut it off I can't I mean what is this it's an investigation for a television where we investigate grown people who go online and try to create inappropriate illegal relationships with underage children but in all my years of catching these guys I've never had an offer like this you can take your pizza if you like go on a slice I'm good thank you very much it's gonna bug you guys so the cops there we'll see soku isn't getting seconds his next meal will be in jail cops grabbed him during the search cops find a sex enhancement pill the kind where you call a doctor if it's still working after four hours Sokol is placed in the back of an unmarked police car the cops put his pizza in the trunk he's hauled off to Fairfield Connecticut police headquarters Sokol is booked fingerprinted and poses for a mug shot cops freedom his rights [Music] he waives his right to remain silent and the arrogance he displayed during my confrontation comes out in the police interrogation because that's what you said they didn't say that you didn't say that we talked about having sex but that doesn't mean isn't that strange that doesn't mean I was going to tonight what's the deal with the marriage certificate what was that old conversation never marriage agreement or a contract you talked about I know I was joking at one time when I said is it in the contract I was never mention of like bringing some type of maybe maybe was in jest but did you mentioned bringing some type of marriage contract or something like that no it wasn't no bringing something now I was just explaining to her that people can get married by just signing a contract they you know signing you know marriage documents I do it but are you talking about the 12 year old girl okay this kind of yeah but if you could you could probably even or see anybody yeah she said she was 14 I know catchers 14 for its yeah we're talking like 12 years old that's like six seventh grade yeah it's a it's a young human being keep saying 12 I'm gonna give use your term and say 14 I I mean I know that's the both the young but it's a little bit yeah different how would it make it okay if you're gonna do things with her and she's 13 and you ultimately had relations with her and what intercourse how does it make it legal it wouldn't unless her mom consent it to marriage it's the only way it would be legal so you're gonna you're gonna marry a 13 year old girl with her mother's permission maybe when maybe maybe when she's 16 I would do that how does that why is that like so hard to believe you're 44 maybe serious that's a major-league problem going to artists but according to IU it's not in my head in your head man knowing what I was there for knowing that I was not dangerous that it was not a threat to her the detective then asked Sokol what he would think if he had a daughter and she was hanging out with a 44 year old guy you're cool with that well obviously at first at first no at first yeah when they first walk in it's not gonna be it's not gonna be cool but if it was somebody like me I don't think there's a threat so cool posts a quarter-million dollars bail and heads home to Beantown without his now cold pizza I have never out of 315 or 320 in all the investigations had anyone ever offered me a piece of pepperoni pizza Sokol was charged with three felony counts attempted second degree sexual assault attempted risk of injury to a minor in enticing a minor by computer Fairfield Police Chief Gary McNamara tells me so calls talk of marriage contract is a way to rationalize his behavior so they look for ways to justify and this is just another way of him being creative and trying to really justify that a marriage contract well it doesn't matter what it is could be a marriage contract could be a an official stamp from from who knows who it doesn't matter it is illegal to have sex with children it's illegal to communicate you're gonna have sex with children so-called pleaded not guilty to all the charges and will stand trial after a court hearing he dodged our cameras and ran back inside the courthouse we saw him sneak out the back door and ducked into this restaurant

Can we talk about how good that pizza looked though

[u/EtsuRah]

Holy shit did they start this show back up again????

It looks like they're doing things a bit different now. They just had the actor chill with the dude for like a solid few mins before hanson came out. I remember the old show the actor would never get that close.

Either way Hanson is back with way more tude towards these guys I love it.

Why has no pedophile ever watched to catch a predator? I feel like it's required viewing for all aspiring predators. I guess I should be thankful pedophiles are so stupid.

That theater student was incredibly good at handling that as well. Engaged, acting nervous, being smiley while she's dealing with someone who is doing something illegal, socially all kinds of wrong, and monstrous when considering that he was interested in trying to close a marriage contract with a minor girl so that he can get it with a 13-year-old girl.

What a terrible thing to have to do in order to protect real children.

Who doesn't know Chris Fucking Hansen?!

'To Catch a Predator'. I loved this show and when I worked nights, they'd have these and other crime shows on at night and I'd binge them. I always found it funny that there were even a few repeat offenders from previous episodes. Talk about dumb asses.

My best friend of 19 years, the best man at my wedding, did shit like this. He used craigslist to try to hook up with a 14 year old. He sent dick pics and had some heated text conversations. He went to meet her at a mall expecting her to ditch her mom while Christmas shopping. To do what? Fuck her in the minivan you had a sleeping bag in? The 14 year old girl fortunately was an undercover cop.

I had no idea my 35 year old friend was such a sick fuck. He had no remorse for what he did, for what it did to his girlfriend, to me, to his sister who has teenage girls. I wish he went to prison. But he got probation, fines, court ordered therapy, not allowed to attend cosplay conventions, be around unattended minors, no internet for 3 years and is registered as a sex offender.

I tried to be friends with him afterward but he was completely deflecting blame and was completely without remorse. He was sorry he was caught. Fuck you man. Fuck. You.
