“I had a feeling this was a sting!”
Tyler Daigle told his wife he was running to Walmart for work supplies and supper ingredients. Instead, he drove to a house in the Louisiana countryside to meet a “15-year-old girl.” He was married, with kids aged nine and two. He barged through the door before the decoy could finish opening it, then asked if he should take his shoes off. Then Chris told him to have a seat. Daigle couldn’t remember her name, only her age. He said he came to “hang out” and that he “wasn’t going to go that far.” When the lies ran out, he admitted he had a feeling it was a sting. He came anyway. He pleaded guilty and got five years in a Louisiana prison, then probation and sex offender registration. Recorded from the field in Polk County, Florida, Chris also reports on a disturbing trend in the new sting. He also answers a listener’s question on the Michigan ruling that pulled thousands off the sex offender registry.

Water Park Dad: Loaded Glock, Condoms, and a 14-Year-Old
Aquatica water park with the wife, the kids, and his parents. Then Roland Jr. Jean got in a car with his cousin and drove to meet a "14-year-old girl." He was a 26-year-old seafood chef from Vero Beach. He had two kids under four, a wife who thought he was hanging out with his "homeboys," and $100 in cash for a "quick visit." In the chat he asked if she was a cop, then came anyway. In this episode of Predators I've Caught, Chris takes you inside a May 2026 sting with the Martin County, Florida Sheriff's Office. Jean walked into the house carrying a loaded .40-caliber Glock. When Chris told him not to leave, he bolted. Deputies took him down and found the pistol. Outside, his cousin's trunk held two more handguns and two assault-style rifles, loaded. Jean says he "forgot" the gun was in his pocket and that he would have "felt guilty." He pleaded guilty and got three years in a Florida prison. Chris also answers a listener's question on whether the military shields its own child predators.

“I’m a teacher, not a predator!"
Second-grade teacher. Children's book author. A polished bio built on a climb out of poverty in Jamaica. And on June 2, 2026, Ashay Shakes was on a hookup app, telling a "15-year-old boy" he was 29 and asking him to get in an Uber. In this episode of Predators I've Caught, Chris Hansen returns to a six-day sting in Marion County, Florida, where 58 men surfaced. Shakes was told the boy's age twice. He sent a picture of himself in his underwear, gave his address, and pressed the "boy" to come right away. When he walked outside to meet the Uber, detectives were waiting. In the interrogation room, Shakes says it was a setup and insists, "I'm not a predator." Chris answers with the chat logs. Shakes pleaded guilty and got four years in the Florida prison system.

In this episode of Predators I've Caught, Chris revisits one of his first stings with the Harford County Sheriff's Office in Maryland. Chuck stopped for beer, took a pill on the way, and brought condoms. When he walked through the door, he went straight in for the kiss. Then Chris walked in. Chuck claims he "wasn't going to," but his own words say otherwise. When the arrest aired, his wife called it a setup and threatened to sue. Chris has a response, plus Chuck's sentence and what it means for a 73-year-old registered sex offender.
