The one where Chris Hansen recognizes the guy from the train

the Predators I catch come in all shapes all sizes and all ages like this creep pushing 60 but Charles Lawrence isn't looking to hook up with a 13 year old girl he's looking for a boy Lawrence doesn't know it but he's the latest guy I've caught in our all new investigative series Hansen vs. predator we're working with the cooperation of Fairfield Connecticut police and tetran Corps an online predator watchdog group in our sting house we've hidden more than a dozen cameras we've even placed a microphone underneath a leaf Lawrence is well educated and apparently very well off he lives in Fairfield a jewel of Connecticut's Gold Coast he's an accountant he works as a commercial real estate broker and get this he lives only 2,000 feet away from our sting house a quarter mile he probably wishes he never traveled hopefully Lauri get this guy back on her what she says Laurie from Tetra is texting Lawrence is our on-site decoy looks on on social media lawrence calls himself an eight by six guy the decoy clearly tells lawrence his age how old are you swear you won't report me of course not 13 but when the decoy reveals his supposin age lawrence immediately follows up with what seems to be either concern or some unrecognized intuition are you a cop or involved in law enforcement lol really gotta be careful yeah the conversation quickly becomes sexually charged I had sex with my ex-girlfriend nothing with a guy gotcha but you like guys better now never tried it but being with my girlfriend was really awkward maybe you need a good teacher yeah you know one you're talking to him lol school is in session then the lesson turns even naughtier as lawrence talks to our decoy about hardcore gay porn you watch porn yeah what do you like to watch yeah what do you like mostly gay porn and some buy porn but the exchange gets so graphic we can't reveal the remaining text finally lawrence arrives and the sting is on come in supposed to rain sir you want something to eat you wanted you can take a seawall you want a drink want some water yeah yeah yeah hey got some water duck said you bring anything oh yeah in the car but before he can retrieve something from his car lawrence is about to get a big surprise no chris in if he thinks he's in for a shock so him on what are you doing something strikes me it looks familiar and what cops say they found in his car that will turn your stomach Charles Lawrence is a well-to-do real estate broker in the Connecticut suburbs hey okay come in he believes he's come to this house to meet a 13 year old boy after exchanging salacious text messages like these just got out of the shower how was your shower about to do the same hot and wet lol and hopefully soapy lol but for this agent there is no open house and his best sales pitch is about to strike out I've caught more than 300 predators in the last decade and some of them even know me from TV no Chris what are you doing but this is the first time I've caught anyone who I know the second Charles Lawrence walked in the door I thought I swear I know this guy from somewhere now I'm watching from the monitor in the other room as he walks in and something strikes me he looks familiar I couldn't put my finger on it and it dawns on me that this is a fellow I had met on the commuter train years ago knew his name he was in real estate and here he is in our kitchen trying to hook up with a 13 year old boy when Lawrence sees me he bolts gripped and sure panic what are you doing come here man he runs out the door now the man I know from the train is about to be derailed the Fairfield cops named him in the driveway they slapped the cuffs on him and take him into the garage he's put into the backseat of an unmarked car and taken to police headquarters at the station he tries to hide his face with a hoodie but there's no escape from our cameras the Fairfield Police Chief gave us rare access in the back rooms of the station so you can see the booking process up close anything you say or say to make me be used against you Lawrence empties his pockets and cops frisket they take his mug shot he's fingerprinted and he gives his consent to allow cops to searches as UV cops find cigarettes condoms in a gay porn video called Seattle bareback Boys Lawrence is taken into the interrogation room he signs away his right to remain silent Chris Hansen is actually I know him he's a friend of mine the community that we live on the train for years and that's more an embarrassment than anything I've seen Chris's show before so like I understand your scenes Chris's show unfortunately this is this is the way this is played out no Chris what do you mean Chris Hansen on the kids and there's no way is it your understanding you were going there to see and talk to a 13 year old no no okay well that's kind of why that's that's kind of my intention at all we don't do that but the detective tells them he had to know he was doing something wrong there would be no reason for you to ask this that way are you a cop or involved in law enforcement they respond back laugh out loud really mmm and you write back gotta be careful right even if they write back yeah man I get it hmm so the problem you're gonna have with your explanation its if you thought legitimately that the person was 18 and you thought that you read the number 18 at that point from what you just said in your mind you're really alleviated of any concerns about dealing with a minor or or anything like that that true because again people could say they're 18 and they're not but you didn't you didn't say that you just asked after finding out after the age was written which was 13 you're claiming 18 right that number was written yeah you move forward with some other back and forth which I can read a look at I'm gonna get away from that so then you clearly are right there may be never one for Stan or Kyle I do they were everybody in trouble doing it well they I don't understand why you would write that or be concerned about that if if in fact you thought you read the number 18 13 I'm gonna shut right down with a block to write them in there Charles Lawrence is old enough to be this kid's grandfather yet he exchanged some raunchy text messages offering to teach the young boy about sex I had sex with my ex-girlfriend nothing with a guy gotcha but you like guys better now never tried it but being with my girlfriend was really awkward maybe you need a good teacher yeah you know one you're talking to him lol school is in session and you won't believe his explanation for trying to hook up with a thirteen-year-old he blames it all on his eyesight 18 okay I got scratched so I can't wear my contacts on where I'm wearing these glasses and I was downstairs having a cup of coffee and my glasses were upstairs and look you know I'm looking I thought he's at 18 I swear to God I would never ever in my entire life meet a 13 year old that I could say to my own self it's disgusting okay that's not you know consenting adults different story I could share I would that I was at my ophthalmologist yesterday and my doctor that I was scratching mine as to why I'm wearing these glasses and why I didn't see that correctly I could but I can show you from wants to see it's just 13 I can't read that okay I thought I said 18 it says 13 okay and that's fine some people who say they're 18 then they left the detectives not buying it and explains the charges the charges are criminal attempt to commit risk of injury to a minor criminal attempt to commit sexual assault in the second degree and enticing a minor the bail is set at $75,000 Lawrence decides not to fight the charges he pleads guilty when crime watch daily went to his sentencing at the Fairfield County Court Lawrence entered through the employee entrance in order to avoid our cameras inside he reportedly told the judge I am NOT a pedophile I used poor judgment but I have never seen used or downloaded child pornography in my life he got eight years suspended after serving two years in prison and he has to register as a sex offender when he's released that tough sentence is just fine with Fairfield Police Chief Gary McNamara who was working hard to keep predators out of his city that's a pretty stiff sentence for a first-time offender well yeah well some would say it's not stiff enough of course some would say it's not stiff enough but certainly that that should send the message out that we all know what the intent was what the reason for the visit was and and he's held will come before that no Chris we got another predator off the streets it's still hard to believe it's an acquaintance of mine from the commuter train Charles Lawrence is now taking a one-way ride to prison
