Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:02,269 --> 00:00:03,237 The following program 2 00:00:03,437 --> 00:00:04,438 documents real law enforcement investigations 3 00:00:04,638 --> 00:00:06,273 of child sexual predators. 4 00:00:06,473 --> 00:00:07,740 This deeply disturbing content 5 00:00:07,741 --> 00:00:09,476 may be triggering for some viewers. 6 00:00:09,676 --> 00:00:10,911 Please watch with care. 7 00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:15,581 Next, the team hunts a predator in Houston. 8 00:00:15,582 --> 00:00:18,184 The twist is, he's one of their own. 9 00:00:18,185 --> 00:00:19,953 He's a pervert with a badge. 10 00:00:20,153 --> 00:00:22,789 Concern would be an understatement. 11 00:00:26,026 --> 00:00:28,261 Then Detective Tony Godwin 12 00:00:28,262 --> 00:00:29,896 races to stop a predator 13 00:00:29,897 --> 00:00:31,865 who secretly records his victims. 14 00:00:32,065 --> 00:00:34,034 I'm like, "This guy is sick." 15 00:00:34,468 --> 00:00:37,838 Never in a million years did I imagine this would happen. 16 00:00:41,675 --> 00:00:44,077 And, later, Tony joins forces to stop a predator 17 00:00:44,278 --> 00:00:46,145 who just can't keep it in his pants. 18 00:00:46,146 --> 00:00:48,147 There he is, in all his glory, 19 00:00:48,148 --> 00:00:49,550 pants and underwear down around his ankle. 20 00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:52,152 It's a very, very memorable arrest. 21 00:00:55,989 --> 00:00:57,357 Get on the ground! 22 00:00:57,624 --> 00:00:59,458 A team of police professionals 23 00:00:59,459 --> 00:01:01,294 in North Dallas has one goal. 24 00:01:01,295 --> 00:01:02,095 Get out the car! 25 00:01:02,262 --> 00:01:04,431 Take down online predators 26 00:01:04,631 --> 00:01:07,434 before they harm a real child. 27 00:01:08,068 --> 00:01:09,836 Child predators are everywhere. 28 00:01:10,304 --> 00:01:12,839 Online predators pose the biggest danger 29 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,908 to America's children today. 30 00:01:15,108 --> 00:01:17,878 Kids are being targeted at an alarming rate. 31 00:01:18,779 --> 00:01:20,480 This team is opening its case files 32 00:01:20,614 --> 00:01:24,151 for the first time to show you how it tracks them down. 33 00:01:25,786 --> 00:01:26,954 All right, he's coming this way. 34 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,391 And brings them to justice by any means necessary. 35 00:01:32,059 --> 00:01:33,594 Put your hands on the car. 36 00:01:34,661 --> 00:01:38,265 This is Detective Tony Godwin and his team is 37 00:01:38,865 --> 00:01:40,667 the Predator Hunters. 38 00:01:45,472 --> 00:01:46,907 It's 2017. 39 00:01:47,074 --> 00:01:50,277 Detectives Tony Godwin and Brandon Poor are facing 40 00:01:50,477 --> 00:01:52,144 their toughest takedown yet. 41 00:01:52,145 --> 00:01:53,880 Both terrifying and shocking. 42 00:01:55,148 --> 00:01:58,417 But what I find out next is just mind blowing. 43 00:01:58,418 --> 00:02:00,120 This guy is a cop. 44 00:02:03,457 --> 00:02:04,824 You know, these cases come along 45 00:02:04,825 --> 00:02:05,993 that you're never going to forget. 46 00:02:06,093 --> 00:02:08,895 This guy here, Donald Dehnert, this is one of them. 47 00:02:09,062 --> 00:02:13,300 This one hits so close to home because this guy was a cop. 48 00:02:14,067 --> 00:02:15,901 At the end of the day, we were able to take 49 00:02:15,902 --> 00:02:18,105 his knowledge of law enforcement and tactics 50 00:02:18,271 --> 00:02:20,474 and use it against him to get him into custody 51 00:02:20,674 --> 00:02:22,275 without him even knowing about it. 52 00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:31,218 - Hey. - Hey. 53 00:02:32,386 --> 00:02:33,420 This case revolves around 54 00:02:33,587 --> 00:02:34,988 my friend and colleague, Brandon Poor. 55 00:02:35,088 --> 00:02:37,024 He's a detective on the ICAC Task Force. 56 00:02:37,224 --> 00:02:39,825 I have known Brandon for a very long time, 57 00:02:39,826 --> 00:02:41,228 over 10 years. 58 00:02:42,062 --> 00:02:44,431 We collaborate on cases quite a bit. 59 00:02:44,631 --> 00:02:46,833 A lot of times I'm assisting him 60 00:02:46,933 --> 00:02:48,901 on his search warrants and his cases, 61 00:02:48,902 --> 00:02:50,504 and he's doing the same for mine. 62 00:02:53,073 --> 00:02:54,140 Brandon is online 63 00:02:54,141 --> 00:02:56,476 doing an undercover proactive investigation 64 00:02:56,676 --> 00:02:59,713 into the Internet relay chat, what we call IRC. 65 00:03:01,148 --> 00:03:05,352 IRC is one of the oldest chat platforms that exists. 66 00:03:05,452 --> 00:03:07,788 Looks very old school. 67 00:03:07,888 --> 00:03:09,589 It consists of a bunch of different channels 68 00:03:09,790 --> 00:03:12,059 and forums that's unmonitored. 69 00:03:13,460 --> 00:03:16,462 The culture of IRC is horrific. 70 00:03:16,463 --> 00:03:18,898 It's not for the faint of heart, I promise you. 71 00:03:18,899 --> 00:03:21,635 There are channels like dad and daughter sex, 72 00:03:21,835 --> 00:03:24,237 baby and toddler love, and things that are horrible. 73 00:03:25,272 --> 00:03:27,106 You will find predators 74 00:03:27,107 --> 00:03:30,544 who are sharing back and forth material and communications 75 00:03:30,710 --> 00:03:31,944 and talking about things 76 00:03:31,945 --> 00:03:34,581 that would literally make your stomach turn. 77 00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:38,418 So, in this case, I created an undercover profile 78 00:03:38,585 --> 00:03:41,221 of a 31-year-old mom named Laura. 79 00:03:41,421 --> 00:03:47,427 I portray myself as a mom of two daughters, ages 5 and 11. 80 00:03:48,528 --> 00:03:49,496 The idea is that 81 00:03:49,663 --> 00:03:50,664 Brandon's going to use this profile, 82 00:03:50,864 --> 00:03:52,665 who's got two daughters available, 83 00:03:52,666 --> 00:03:54,301 and offer them up for sex. 84 00:03:56,069 --> 00:03:59,639 The sad reality is it's based on real things 85 00:03:59,740 --> 00:04:01,074 that we know have happened. 86 00:04:01,274 --> 00:04:02,476 Real adults who have 87 00:04:02,676 --> 00:04:05,479 had their own children or access to children, 88 00:04:05,579 --> 00:04:07,714 offered them up for sexual purposes. 89 00:04:09,316 --> 00:04:12,552 I'm hit with dozens of messages right away. 90 00:04:13,587 --> 00:04:15,989 But one user sticks out from the others 91 00:04:16,089 --> 00:04:19,425 because its title, LovesYng, 92 00:04:19,426 --> 00:04:21,460 gives me some sort of indication 93 00:04:21,461 --> 00:04:24,030 as to what this user might be looking for. 94 00:04:26,433 --> 00:04:28,835 He's asking me how many daughters I have. 95 00:04:30,270 --> 00:04:33,073 And he says, "I bet they're both so cute and sexy. 96 00:04:33,273 --> 00:04:35,075 I love mothers and their young daughters." 97 00:04:36,977 --> 00:04:41,147 So out of the realm of anything a normal person 98 00:04:41,148 --> 00:04:42,315 would even think about. 99 00:04:42,415 --> 00:04:44,384 Feels a little more creepy to me. 100 00:04:44,584 --> 00:04:47,354 I have kids and it hits a little closer to home. 101 00:04:47,687 --> 00:04:49,790 So I'm playing naive. 102 00:04:51,057 --> 00:04:54,661 I'm basically telling him I haven't really talked 103 00:04:54,861 --> 00:04:56,262 about anything like this. 104 00:04:56,263 --> 00:04:57,497 And he's saying it would be something 105 00:04:57,664 --> 00:04:58,899 he would want to actually do. 106 00:04:59,699 --> 00:05:02,701 Over the next few weeks, the messages start becoming 107 00:05:02,702 --> 00:05:04,638 more graphic and more explicit. 108 00:05:05,272 --> 00:05:06,840 Both terrifying and shocking. 109 00:05:08,675 --> 00:05:11,278 Concern would be an understatement. 110 00:05:11,478 --> 00:05:14,114 My biggest fear that he's going to go meet a real kid 111 00:05:14,314 --> 00:05:17,551 or, in this case, the parent that has access to kids. 112 00:05:21,288 --> 00:05:23,190 Brandon shows me some of the communications 113 00:05:23,290 --> 00:05:25,658 between he and this user, LovesYng. 114 00:05:25,659 --> 00:05:27,828 I'm telling you, it's so disgusting. 115 00:05:29,529 --> 00:05:32,499 The deviant, horrible things he wants to do to a child. 116 00:05:32,666 --> 00:05:35,901 This guy is a problem, so we've got to do everything we can 117 00:05:35,902 --> 00:05:38,504 to figure out who he is, find him, 118 00:05:38,505 --> 00:05:40,073 and put his ass in jail. 119 00:05:42,475 --> 00:05:44,477 Tony subpoenas the Internet provider 120 00:05:44,678 --> 00:05:47,313 for information about LovesYng's identity. 121 00:05:47,314 --> 00:05:48,981 I eventually get the information back 122 00:05:48,982 --> 00:05:51,017 and they give me an address in the Houston area. 123 00:05:51,184 --> 00:05:53,520 And it comes back to a guy named Donald Dehnert. 124 00:05:53,787 --> 00:05:54,788 I do a little bit of digging 125 00:05:54,988 --> 00:05:56,856 and I find a Facebook profile for this guy. 126 00:05:57,023 --> 00:05:58,425 And on the surface, 127 00:05:58,625 --> 00:06:01,695 he just looks like some normal married guy, family dude. 128 00:06:01,862 --> 00:06:03,230 He's got a pet. 129 00:06:03,930 --> 00:06:06,900 But what I find out next is just mind-blowing. 130 00:06:09,035 --> 00:06:10,503 This guy is a cop. 131 00:06:15,675 --> 00:06:18,745 He has lived a life of sworn to protect the community, 132 00:06:18,912 --> 00:06:21,915 yet he leads this double life where he's soliciting someone 133 00:06:22,015 --> 00:06:23,516 to have sex with children. 134 00:06:23,617 --> 00:06:26,553 It really makes me sick to my stomach to say these things. 135 00:06:26,653 --> 00:06:29,789 At the end of the day, he's a pervert with a badge. 136 00:06:32,259 --> 00:06:34,660 The next thing that Brandon needs to do is really establish, 137 00:06:34,661 --> 00:06:36,896 is this guy, Dehnert, going to follow through 138 00:06:37,063 --> 00:06:41,066 in what he's been saying online and actually show up to engage 139 00:06:41,067 --> 00:06:42,636 in a sex act with a child? 140 00:06:44,337 --> 00:06:47,607 We're talking over the holiday period. 141 00:06:47,707 --> 00:06:49,876 He says he wishes he could have my girls 142 00:06:49,976 --> 00:06:52,912 under the Christmas tree and unwrap them slowly. 143 00:06:55,615 --> 00:06:57,182 I mean, what do you say to that? 144 00:06:57,183 --> 00:06:59,219 He's most certainly having 145 00:06:59,386 --> 00:07:01,421 some sort of Christmas with his family, 146 00:07:02,222 --> 00:07:03,189 but he's stepping away 147 00:07:03,290 --> 00:07:05,392 to go to the computer and tell me these things. 148 00:07:07,027 --> 00:07:08,060 Jekyll and Hyde. 149 00:07:08,061 --> 00:07:10,196 That's what it is. It's Jekyll and Hyde. 150 00:07:11,932 --> 00:07:13,500 After several months of Brandon 151 00:07:13,667 --> 00:07:15,502 working this undercover Laura profile 152 00:07:15,669 --> 00:07:17,269 and offering up these two girls, 153 00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:18,471 Dehnert finally makes 154 00:07:18,672 --> 00:07:20,874 a suggestion for a meet in real life, 155 00:07:21,141 --> 00:07:21,908 and he's going to engage 156 00:07:22,108 --> 00:07:23,677 in a sexual encounter with two kids. 157 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,748 He's making it very clear 158 00:07:28,948 --> 00:07:31,151 he wants an entire weekend with these kids. 159 00:07:34,421 --> 00:07:36,423 Sexually abusing these children. 160 00:07:38,825 --> 00:07:41,428 Now that he's given me a concrete day, 161 00:07:41,628 --> 00:07:43,662 I think it's time to make an op plan. 162 00:07:43,663 --> 00:07:45,632 I'm going to go meet with Tony to do that now. 163 00:07:46,666 --> 00:07:49,269 You know, this is an absolute worst case scenario 164 00:07:49,469 --> 00:07:50,270 for us. 165 00:07:50,470 --> 00:07:52,072 There's so many things that could go wrong. 166 00:07:52,272 --> 00:07:56,276 One, this guy knows every tactic used by law enforcement. 167 00:07:56,476 --> 00:07:58,545 We have to confront him at his house. 168 00:07:59,512 --> 00:08:00,714 We've gotta come up with a plan 169 00:08:00,914 --> 00:08:03,316 that's not gonna alert him that he's being arrested. 170 00:08:03,416 --> 00:08:06,219 He's got guns, or at least, a gun. 171 00:08:06,386 --> 00:08:09,222 He could barricade. We could get into a shootout. 172 00:08:09,422 --> 00:08:10,990 There's so many variables, 173 00:08:11,091 --> 00:08:13,659 and this is so touchy. It's like a powder keg 174 00:08:13,660 --> 00:08:15,061 about to explode. 175 00:08:15,261 --> 00:08:17,430 Okay, I got a plan. 176 00:08:18,665 --> 00:08:21,868 We use what he knows about what we do 177 00:08:22,836 --> 00:08:24,870 to help us and benefit us, right? 178 00:08:24,871 --> 00:08:26,706 So his house is here. 179 00:08:26,873 --> 00:08:28,507 He's got a street here. 180 00:08:28,508 --> 00:08:31,111 And he's got a neighbor right across the street there. 181 00:08:31,311 --> 00:08:34,381 What if we park the SWAT van right here? 182 00:08:35,215 --> 00:08:36,582 Put an ambulance here 183 00:08:36,583 --> 00:08:38,785 and make it look like we're at 184 00:08:38,985 --> 00:08:41,653 some police operation across the street. 185 00:08:41,654 --> 00:08:44,424 And then before he has a time to think about it, 186 00:08:44,624 --> 00:08:45,592 they surround him. 187 00:08:45,792 --> 00:08:48,028 We have him put his hands on his head and disarm him. 188 00:08:48,228 --> 00:08:49,661 So putting the SWAT truck 189 00:08:49,662 --> 00:08:51,898 and an ambulance directly in front of his house. 190 00:08:52,065 --> 00:08:54,200 - It's crazy. - It's genius, though. 191 00:08:54,401 --> 00:08:56,236 We need this guy to be so dismissive. 192 00:08:56,336 --> 00:08:59,706 Like, "Who knew I was across the street from a crime 193 00:08:59,873 --> 00:09:03,076 or a criminal?" when, in fact, it's for him. 194 00:09:08,915 --> 00:09:11,951 We're set up right in front of Dehnert's address, 195 00:09:12,052 --> 00:09:14,120 waiting for him to come out. 196 00:09:14,621 --> 00:09:16,222 It's like 6 o'clock in the morning. 197 00:09:16,423 --> 00:09:18,858 They know full well this is the normal time 198 00:09:19,025 --> 00:09:20,794 that Dehnert leaves to go to work. 199 00:09:21,661 --> 00:09:23,863 The whole anticipation is unlike anything else 200 00:09:24,064 --> 00:09:27,033 because everybody's anxious, everybody's amped up. 201 00:09:27,233 --> 00:09:29,035 It's really nerve-wracking. 202 00:09:35,508 --> 00:09:37,477 And then he comes out of his house, 203 00:09:37,677 --> 00:09:41,548 cup of coffee in hand, oblivious to what's going on. 204 00:09:41,748 --> 00:09:43,516 His focus is on the SWAT guys, 205 00:09:43,616 --> 00:09:46,185 and he doesn't really have a moment 206 00:09:46,186 --> 00:09:48,421 to think about what might be happening. 207 00:09:49,656 --> 00:09:50,857 They all turn. 208 00:09:51,024 --> 00:09:53,193 They focus all their weapons on him. 209 00:09:59,866 --> 00:10:01,234 And they get him into custody. 210 00:10:06,272 --> 00:10:08,675 All I had at this point was a search warrant. 211 00:10:08,775 --> 00:10:11,277 That's part of the reason why we don't handcuff him, 212 00:10:11,478 --> 00:10:12,945 so that we can build a rapport 213 00:10:12,946 --> 00:10:15,515 to hopefully get him to agree to an interview. 214 00:10:22,088 --> 00:10:24,057 I'm a little curious as to whether 215 00:10:24,224 --> 00:10:25,225 he's gonna talk to us. 216 00:10:25,425 --> 00:10:27,427 I mean, he knows what an interview is like 217 00:10:27,627 --> 00:10:30,663 for a police officer and investigator in this case. 218 00:10:31,297 --> 00:10:33,233 Before Brandon conducts his interview, 219 00:10:33,433 --> 00:10:35,835 the team searches Dehnert's home. 220 00:10:44,944 --> 00:10:46,311 What they're looking for, obviously, 221 00:10:46,312 --> 00:10:48,915 is anything capable of connecting to the Internet. 222 00:10:52,952 --> 00:10:55,821 They seize 40 electronic devices in total. 223 00:10:55,822 --> 00:10:59,192 SD cards, memory sticks, cameras, laptops, 224 00:10:59,292 --> 00:11:00,593 everything you can imagine, 225 00:11:00,793 --> 00:11:02,461 all of which has to be submitted 226 00:11:02,462 --> 00:11:03,897 and examined forensically. 227 00:11:09,068 --> 00:11:09,836 The fact that 228 00:11:10,036 --> 00:11:11,237 he's doing this interview in the car, 229 00:11:11,437 --> 00:11:13,672 this is a really common tactic that we use. 230 00:11:13,673 --> 00:11:15,140 Get them while they're really thinking, 231 00:11:15,141 --> 00:11:16,508 "What is going on?" 232 00:11:16,509 --> 00:11:18,478 And see if we can capitalize on it. 233 00:11:24,384 --> 00:11:25,617 I'm baffled. 234 00:11:25,618 --> 00:11:28,421 The fact that this guy who's been in law enforcement 235 00:11:28,621 --> 00:11:31,423 talking to a detective about this type of crime 236 00:11:31,424 --> 00:11:33,359 and doesn't ask for a lawyer, 237 00:11:33,626 --> 00:11:34,794 blows my mind. 238 00:11:38,932 --> 00:11:42,001 Detective Brandon Poor confronts one of his own, 239 00:11:42,168 --> 00:11:44,604 Deputy Sheriff Donald Dehnert. 240 00:11:51,344 --> 00:11:55,048 My belief is Dehnert knows why we're there, 241 00:11:55,181 --> 00:11:57,050 but he doesn't know how much we know. 242 00:12:19,706 --> 00:12:21,841 Dehnert opens up to us quite a bit. 243 00:12:22,008 --> 00:12:25,812 He was a lot more forthright than I expected him to be. 244 00:12:48,601 --> 00:12:49,636 He's saying right there, 245 00:12:49,802 --> 00:12:53,072 he thinks it was one of us or maybe even me. 246 00:12:53,406 --> 00:12:55,308 And I'm not going to let him know it was. 247 00:13:31,444 --> 00:13:33,146 I think that he's thinking, 248 00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:36,849 if this weren't a real person with real kids, 249 00:13:37,083 --> 00:13:39,485 then it's not even that big of a deal. 250 00:13:41,254 --> 00:13:42,522 You know, some of the horrible things 251 00:13:42,655 --> 00:13:44,724 that he said and that he planned to do. 252 00:13:44,824 --> 00:13:46,959 If you read through the communications, 253 00:13:47,093 --> 00:13:50,797 there's no indication that this was anything other 254 00:13:50,930 --> 00:13:52,899 than something he wanted to act out. 255 00:14:30,069 --> 00:14:31,504 If there was any doubt 256 00:14:31,637 --> 00:14:34,841 about how real this is in his life, 257 00:14:35,041 --> 00:14:37,910 he's now admitted to viewing child sex abuse material 258 00:14:38,044 --> 00:14:39,412 on his laptop 259 00:14:39,512 --> 00:14:42,148 and moving it to a thumb drive. 260 00:14:42,281 --> 00:14:44,784 The fact that we're now going to find CSAM 261 00:14:44,917 --> 00:14:47,787 in the home on more than one device 262 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,655 means that it's additional charges 263 00:14:49,789 --> 00:14:53,426 and additional crimes that we have to investigate as well. 264 00:15:22,655 --> 00:15:24,724 I don't view Dehnert any differently 265 00:15:24,824 --> 00:15:26,726 than any of my other child predators. 266 00:15:26,826 --> 00:15:30,430 The fact that Dehnert was a police officer just meant 267 00:15:30,596 --> 00:15:32,765 that he was a predator that flew under the radar 268 00:15:32,899 --> 00:15:34,167 until we could catch him. 269 00:15:34,300 --> 00:15:35,968 Brandon did a great job. 270 00:15:36,068 --> 00:15:38,104 And he's able to get information from Dehnert 271 00:15:38,237 --> 00:15:40,173 that he had a USB device 272 00:15:40,273 --> 00:15:42,208 that had child sex abuse material on it. 273 00:15:42,341 --> 00:15:44,410 A recovery of that device 274 00:15:44,510 --> 00:15:46,279 and a further examination of that device 275 00:15:46,446 --> 00:15:51,017 revealed a thousand-plus images of child sex abuse material. 276 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,836 What we know about people who prey on kids 277 00:16:10,002 --> 00:16:13,773 is they're the teachers and the pastors and the doctors 278 00:16:13,906 --> 00:16:15,473 and the farmers and the plumbers 279 00:16:15,474 --> 00:16:17,109 and everyone else around you 280 00:16:17,243 --> 00:16:20,213 that looks just like anyone else to you. 281 00:16:20,346 --> 00:16:22,314 It's 2009. 282 00:16:22,315 --> 00:16:24,350 Detectives join forces to stop 283 00:16:24,517 --> 00:16:27,186 a predator who's exposing himself to a child. 284 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,223 He's transmitting webcam. He's panning up. 285 00:16:30,356 --> 00:16:31,557 Shows his face. 286 00:16:32,391 --> 00:16:33,793 You can't make this stuff up, right? 287 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,629 These guys are so pathetic. 288 00:16:42,368 --> 00:16:43,569 Every once in a while, 289 00:16:43,703 --> 00:16:45,204 we find an offender that's so twisted, 290 00:16:45,338 --> 00:16:47,707 it shocks even a seasoned veteran like me. 291 00:16:48,207 --> 00:16:49,876 This guy, Michael Vanmeter, 292 00:16:50,042 --> 00:16:52,111 sent a boatload of child sex abuse material 293 00:16:52,245 --> 00:16:54,514 to what he thought was a 13-year-old girl. 294 00:16:54,647 --> 00:16:55,681 We had to coordinate 295 00:16:55,882 --> 00:16:59,218 to get this guy caught with his pants down, literally. 296 00:17:08,194 --> 00:17:10,229 I got a phone call from Lieutenant Gary Marquis. 297 00:17:10,396 --> 00:17:13,366 He was a friend and colleague on the ICAC task force 298 00:17:13,466 --> 00:17:15,568 in a different county in North Texas. 299 00:17:15,701 --> 00:17:17,904 He was kind of in a bit of a panic because he's like, 300 00:17:18,304 --> 00:17:20,306 "Hey, man, I'm online in an undercover capacity 301 00:17:20,439 --> 00:17:23,209 "talking to this suspect that lives in your city, 302 00:17:23,342 --> 00:17:24,810 and I need you to check it out." 303 00:17:28,648 --> 00:17:32,084 In 2009, Yahoo was the big kid on the block. 304 00:17:32,752 --> 00:17:34,687 They had numerous chatrooms. 305 00:17:34,820 --> 00:17:39,125 There could be tens of thousands of people in these chat rooms. 306 00:17:40,026 --> 00:17:43,062 I was actually going into these chat rooms, 307 00:17:43,195 --> 00:17:45,564 looking for individuals that search 308 00:17:45,665 --> 00:17:48,033 for underage children to have sex with. 309 00:17:48,034 --> 00:17:51,037 Gary tells me he created this profile, Texasgrl13. 310 00:17:51,203 --> 00:17:53,205 He was a 13-year-old female. 311 00:17:53,339 --> 00:17:55,508 And he tells me that he got contacted right away 312 00:17:55,641 --> 00:17:57,877 by a user named MV-57. 313 00:17:59,545 --> 00:18:04,483 MV-57 wanted to know my age, sex, and location. 314 00:18:04,584 --> 00:18:08,421 And I told him I was 13, female, and I lived in Texas. 315 00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:13,626 He didn't even blink at the age of 13. 316 00:18:19,732 --> 00:18:21,801 My undercover name is Alexis. 317 00:18:23,336 --> 00:18:24,971 Nice to meet you, Mike. 318 00:18:25,604 --> 00:18:27,873 The next communication is, 319 00:18:28,207 --> 00:18:30,109 "You ever been with an older man?" 320 00:18:33,045 --> 00:18:34,814 I replied, "I'm still a virgin." 321 00:18:36,482 --> 00:18:39,218 His end goal is for Alexis to start trusting him. 322 00:18:40,453 --> 00:18:43,155 Like really creepy predator behavior, right? 323 00:18:43,556 --> 00:18:44,924 But it gets worse. 324 00:18:45,658 --> 00:18:48,928 Within minutes, this same user, MV-57, 325 00:18:49,028 --> 00:18:51,597 began to send me images of child sexual abuse material, 326 00:18:51,731 --> 00:18:54,367 or CSAM as we refer to it. 327 00:18:55,301 --> 00:18:56,669 You know, typically in these investigations, 328 00:18:56,802 --> 00:18:58,471 I get a picture of their junk 329 00:18:58,604 --> 00:19:00,506 that they want to show off to a young girl. 330 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,309 But this is like taking a 2x4 to the head. 331 00:19:03,442 --> 00:19:05,411 This is some hardcore child pornography. 332 00:19:06,345 --> 00:19:08,848 That's a felony to share or send 333 00:19:08,981 --> 00:19:11,083 child sexual abuse material to another person. 334 00:19:11,717 --> 00:19:14,954 It pisses me off, the fact that this guy is willing to go 335 00:19:15,121 --> 00:19:17,423 and share horrible material 336 00:19:17,556 --> 00:19:19,225 with what he thinks is a real kid. 337 00:19:19,358 --> 00:19:22,662 The rapid nature in which this happened is really concerning, 338 00:19:22,795 --> 00:19:25,164 was really concerning for Gary.

00:24:47,386 --> 00:24:50,756 to go to this location, which is a couple hours away, 457 00:24:50,923 --> 00:24:52,591 to have a sexual encounter 458 00:24:52,791 --> 00:24:54,560 with what he believed

thinking, "This is right where I want him to be" 468 00:25:28,827 --> 00:25:31,230 because this is the best case scenario for me 469 00:25:31,430 --> 00:25:33,432 to get this guy to confess to everything. 470 00:26:13,038 --> 00:26:15,240 He says, "No, I was never going to go meet that child." 471 00:26:15,407 --> 00:26:17,176 Dude, give me a break. 472 00:26:17,276 --> 00:26:20,112 We

takeaway for me on this Vanmeter case 481 00:27:32,150 --> 00:27:34,586 is he shared child sex abuse material, 482 00:27:34,786 --> 00:27:37,389 horrific stuff, in a moment's notice, 483 00:27:37,589

well what's going on 486 00:27:45,731 --> 00:27:48,033 and where they're going than being in the dark 487 00:27:48,233 --> 00:27:50,002 and letting them get exposed to a predator 488 00:27:50,202 -->

00:28:32,844 --> 00:28:35,080 to get this guy off the street and behind bars. 506 00:28:45,157 --> 00:28:46,825 On July 7th of 2012, 507 00:28:47,025 --> 00:28:48,627 I got a phone call from a

00:28:53,465 --> 00:28:56,602 And while she was there, her best friend's stepdad 511 00:28:56,768 --> 00:28:58,136 had made some very inappropriate 512 00:28:58,236 --> 00:29:00,672 conduct and communications with her. 513 00:29:01,106 --> 00:29:03,175 I tell the mom that she needs to bring her daughter, 514 00:29:03,275 --> 00:29:04,643 Natasha, into the police station 515 00:29:04,843 --> 00:29:06,278 so I can have a conversation with her. 516 00:29:07,312 --> 00:29:08,880 Natasha is a fake name 517 00:29:09,047 --> 00:29:11,917 to protect the identity of the real victim. 518 00:29:12,050 --> 00:29:14,353 Natasha tells me around 2:00 in the morning, 519 00:29:14,553 --> 00:29:16,355 Skylar's stepfather, Christian Gieseke, 520 00:29:16,555 --> 00:29:18,924 looked in the

00:29:25,897 But then it kind of took a weird turn. 524 00:29:26,031 --> 00:29:30,202 Christian started to ask her very inappropriate questions. 525 00:29:30,636 --> 00:29:32,838 She is freaked out, right? 526 00:29:33,038 --> 00:29:34,640 But that doesn't deter him at all, 527 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,642 because what he does next is shocking. 528 00:29:36,842 --> 00:29:39,077 He tries to show
