Ah well…
Hidden Camera Catches Host of To Catch a Predator Cheating on Wife
With that thread title I was expecting him to have gotten caught with a 13 year old girl…
Here is the story:

I know, I know the original source for this story is the National Enquirer. But they’ve been right before about this sort of thing. And fuck, this is Chris Hansen man. The snark potential was just too great for me not to post this.
Anyway, is anybody else wondering if she invited him in for sweet tea and then told him to “take a seat right over there.”
Sweet Tea!
So that’s what a petard looks like.
I was just going to post this.
Hey, at least the girl he’s cheating with is old enough.
I like to imagine he was cheating with the 18 year old woman who looks 12 who they use to lure predators into the house.
Smug, self-righteous asshole gets caught doing the same kind of things he has made a career of decrying.
Maybe he should become a televangelist…
Yeah, because adultery and pedophilia are totally similar.
I’ve merged a thread about this in MPSIMS and the original thread (here in CS) together.
HAS he made a career of decrying this sort of thing? Because I only know him as, you know, the ‘To Catch a Predator’ guy, and I’m preeeeeeety sure the ‘predators’ in question didn’t think they were going to schtup 30 year olds.
It’s not his fault that he’s petarded.
No, because he has made a name for himself exposing people behaving dishonestly—Pedophiles, con-men, crooked contractors, rip off artists of all stripes: All of whom trade on deceit, by lying, sneaking around, pretending to be someone they are not—Just like a guy sleeping around on his wife…
(But maybe you are not able to understand this parallel, which is not a huge surprise to some who are familiar with you)
He has done “To Catch A Con-Man”, “To Catch An Internet Scammer” and other similar specials, not just the teenager stings he was initially noticed for.
What I find most disturbing is that, except for the side she parts her hair on, his mistress appears to be almost an exact clone of his wife minus twenty years, down to the same hair bleach roots. Seriously, does this guy have an original bone in his body?
Stranger
True, but I’d say there is general societal news value in learning about the child predators, con men and internet scams out there (though I"m not particularly fond of his method for getting it on the air). I don’t really see any societal news value in learning that prominent news guy is cheating on his wife.
So I still don’t care, though I don’t feel particularly sorry for him.
Well, not in his.
[Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here all week. Tip over your waitresses and look for loose change.]
Ok, another guy cheating on his wife. Not breaking any law. Not even a politician. The irony is weak. But the guy is kind of smarmy, so let him get a little dose of public humiliation.
Don’t worry, I’m sure this his first time EVER!!! doing something like this.
I’m no blue-nosed moralist, but I have no problem with people being pilloried for cheating in a committed relationship. It’s no so far apart from confidence tricks in terms of harm.
The wronged party is unlikely to receive anything that approaches adequate compensation for the hurt - but a good old-fashioned shunning and ridicule that encompasses the offender’s entire sphere of influence? That may help a little bit.
