18: "I thought you was wantin' to be shaved...down there."

Clifford Wallach was 40 years old when he began chatting with a boy he believed to be fourteen years old named "Tony". Clifford is very guarded during his chat about his intentions, only saying he was looking to "have fun", wanting to communicate by voice instead. After 30 minutes, they end the chat and Clifford begins a voice conversation with Del Harvey, who is pretending to be Tony. Over the phone, he discloses his true intentions, saying he wanted to engage in oral sex with Tony, both giving and receiving. While setting up the meet, Wallach mentions he would be alone until midnight, but when he comes to the sting house, instead of heading towards the house, he instead went to the back seat of his car, to take his son out. Frag yells out, "Oh no..." in shock as others can be heard in the background in also in shock of what they are seeing. Chris Hansen later says some of those people were crying as well. Due to how shocking the situation is and because a real child is involved, Hansen immediately comes out and meets him just inside the front door, telling Clifford straight up that he is part of a sting. Hansen also iterates that because his child is involved that he won't pursue anything he asks them to leave. Clifford would state he was just going to take the decoy for lunch and he will never do it again. When he exits the house, instead of being tackled like many of the men in the Ft. Myers investigation, the police demand him to stay put.   Adapted from journalist Chris Hansen’s popular TO CATCH A PREDATOR series, each episode of PREDATOR I'VE CAUGHT features Chris recalling the most notorious cases and providing a “Where are they now?” update.

Walter, 43 years old at the time, chatted up a girl he believed to be twelve by the name of "Beth". He expressed his desire to meet the girl, get her naked, and have sex. He also showed interest in eating his own sperm, telling her it tasted like pancake batter and that he would ejaculate on her body and lick the sperm off to make sure she didn't get pregnant. He was also hung up on having her wear a plaid skirt for their meeting. When he rolled up to the house, he was dressed in the "cool dad" style, but when he saw Chris Hansen, his blood went cold.  Chris read pieces of his chatlog causing him no end of discomfort and then mentioned the dick pic he had sent Beth, letting him know it was a federal offense. Babst tried to deny he sent it, but Chris read the chat immediately after the transmission of the pic where he compared his girth to "a can of Coke", which immediately shut him down.  Adapted from journalist Chris Hansen’s popular TO CATCH A PREDATOR series, each episode of PREDATOR I'VE CAUGHT features Chris recalling the most notorious cases and providing a “Where are they now?” update.

He is notable for really liking pizza and his arrogant attitude like he was the victim in the bust. 44-year-old Sokol groomed what he thought was a thirteen year old girl named Bailey online. He had some conversations with her, including talks of drawing up a “marriage contract“ in order for everything to be legal. On October 3rd, 2015, he drove for two and a half hours from his home in Boston to Fairfield, where he had planned to stay with the girl while her mother was away on business. He picked up a pizza, and once at the house, he tried to hug the decoy, only to meet Chris Hansen.  At first Sokol believed Hansen was the girl's father.
