This guy was a teacher at my high school. Many students openly complained about his weird and creepy behavior for years to no avail. Crazy note: he returned to teaching at school immediately after he was busted. He sat in the corner of the class room crying until police came the next day and removed his computers.
The police can have the dude in cuffs on the ground face pressed to the pavement, and Chris would crouch down and be like “so it says in the transcript here..” it kills me every time Chris is so ruthless to catch these predators gotta love it 😭🤌🏽✨😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I introduced my mom to this channel because I thought she would enjoy the TLC show reactions, but this morning I woke up with a notification from her that told me to watch this video. After I watched it, she told me that the guy taught at the same high school as my grandpa and that the predator and my grandpa were actually friends. (My grandpa never talked to or about him again after the show was aired). My mom said that she even knew the predator personally as a kid. Crazy how things can come full circle like that. Overall disgusted as usual, but just glad he didn’t try to hit on my mom as a kid.
They weren’t that close, they were just coworkers that occasionally went to car shows on the weekends. My grandpa has been happily married for 46 years, so no he is not a predator :)
@@auroraborealis9916 ok but that doesn’t mean anything, sorry… some of them have been happily married for decades and still did it, which made it that much worse… it’s not just the ones that are single or with problematic relationships, in fact, most are in supposedly happy relationships…
Going into education myself, and shadowing a lot of teachers at schools, I can say with absolutely sickening confidence that some people become teachers and educators for all the wrong reasons and none of the right ones. It’s disheartening.
Well what is to expected when the pay is so low that only super passionate angels and the evilest creeps will accept it? I honestly feel so bad for all the students in the US. 😢
@@PoPcheesemo Eh the pay is really good when you consider the hours they work is a fraction of the norm. Their average salary across the US is $66k. The average salary of everyone in the US is about $50k. Teachers get about 3 times as much vacation time as most jobs, and many schools do not have 40 hour weeks. While teachers may stay at school after hours, or not, the work they do is hardly worth celebrating (the after hours work). Schools need more funding, teachers don't. The environment, teaching material, and teaching curriculum are a lot more important to a students success than the slight chance of perhaps getting a more qualified person in 10 years down the road because the job pays a bit better (which is not a safe assumption). Unqualified people will become teachers for money. Teaching is one of the few jobs that requires passion and a certain set of skills to actually excel at, and an increased wage doesn't magically "motivate" someone to acquire these attributes. Besides, ignoring the best the teachers, the three things I mentioned (environment, teaching material, and teaching curriculum) are way more important for a students success than a good, let alone a decent, teacher. To futher add on the useless gesture of increasing pay significantly, there isn't a shortage of teachers, but there is a very strong union that refuses to allow their worst members from being removed. If these "Creeps" or just under performing teachers could be properly dealt with than the over all standard would improve way more than it ever would by increasing wages. I would support increased wages if it meant more rigorous training/education and being held to a higher standard.
@@CrossBreedTacoHDI have a strong feeling teachers would debate you on this but when you think about having to remember hundreds of students individual needs that some of the actual good teachers make a point to try and help with it’s a little ridiculous to downplay it. Most adults bitch and moan about watching ONE child that’s actually related to them lol. I’d agree if anything nurses deal with more fucked up chaos daily and aren’t praised enough for it more than teachers. But just like teachers there’s some assholes in any and every job that do less than they could to help kids or others.
I remember him being at my school crying when the police took away his computers. Couldn't believe the police didn't inform our school know and get him fired.
That's horrific! Imagine if he'd realised his life was over and decided to go out with a bang... I know that's extreme but you think they'd have more than enough grounds to lock him up for a bit while they get even more evidence, considering he admitted to it all?? Ridiculous they just let him go to school.
Just saw another comment of saying the same thing, I wonder if you saw each other in the halls. Was everyone just looking at him? Did you guys know the situation or was everyone confused until after?
I remember watching this as it aired. I think I was 12/13, I had no concept of what a predator was or why it was wrong. Chris Hansen was helping the community on so many levels. He taught me about ONLINE predators & the dangers of it. No telling how many kids at that time were innocently unaware that these creeps exist. These men don’t think you’re mature for your age. It’s the exact opposite, they know you’re young & gullible. Chris Hansen taught me “stranger danger” because my parents were too uncomfortable to discuss anything about s3x. Thanks Mr. Hansen for alerting the community.
Same and agreed! When I was in HS too in the early 00s, the last two years, there was all these rumours about this guy in my year (who looked mid-20s but that’s besides the point) hooking up with this pretty young (20s) teacher (female) and he was popular and “the man” for it amongst the guys in school and she wanted to keep it more hushed up but he was braggy about it to his friends, and nobody said anything about her being a paedo or predo being the early 00s but now it’s like 😐😶🫥
@@AdamOBrien29TCAP aired in 04, at the beginning of the online chat room craze, computers had literally just become a common household item and the internet itself had barely been public for a decade. Perverted Justice, law enforcement, and TCAP was honestly on top of the times to catch on and nail these guys as quickly as they started.
yea i remember hearing about this show when i was in 7th grade so i went ahead and watched it. chris hansen is the reason why I've taken extra measures to keep myself safe when i was a minor. he taught me so much about the world at the right time since i got a phone and began using social media more often.
I'll never forget watching this episode as a kid with my Dad.. when this dude's slot came up during the episode, my Dad laughed to himself and asked me "Hey buddy, do you think he has sons named Rodd and Todd?" 🤣 .. I haven't looked at Ned Flanders the same since.
The fact that he got a better job afterwards has horrible implications. It tells me he was qualified for much better paying stuff, but wanted to teach for the access.
@benf6822 That definatlaty could be the case but i don't know if jumping to that conclusion automatically is justified given what little information we know about him.
Had a teacher in 5th grade named Mr. Holcomb. He was buff and was always flexing his muscles in class. As a kid I assumed it was just something buff people did. 3 years later he gets caught with CP on his computer. All the lines just connected when we found that out. He was always flexing in class at the young girls, and the girls would get away with anything in class. It surprised me at first but looking back it was pretty obvious. It was just as kids we didn't know any better.
Makes me wonder about my 6th grade teacher at an all girls school … always had his fly open or a button on his shirt popped because he was overweight and he made a big deal about us possibly seeing him and “hid” behind the chalk board to fix his clothes while making weird jokes and laughing. Always made me feel uncomfortable…
My middle school math teacher was fired for sleeping with students. And i remember when we were in class one day a kid told everyone that he was in the teacher's shower the night before and he had a very dirty soap holder, and the teacher looked embarressed. And I thought the student was just f*cking with him at the time, and I didn't realize until years later he probably was telling the truth
My school speech therapist was a pedophile, he even had adopted kids. He thankfully did not do anything to me but he would always hug my brother and now all of those experiences are now forever ruined in my head
It's absolutely horrifying but there are probably thousands of pedophiles in the states. Who knows how many of them have actually acted on their disgusting impulses. I think the majority of them probably were assaulted as kids as well.
There's a teacher at my old high-school who's been there for a looong time. He got kicked out of his old school district for 'repreated inappropriate interactios and conversations with minor girls' but was still hired by another school. There were district rules that he wasn't allowed to have a female student aid, if he was running detention another staff had to be with him or there couldn't only be females in the room with him, etc. He would sit all the pretty girls around his desk, assigned one girl he liked the most in every class 'kitten', and had, on multiple occasions, invited girls who had either just graduated or turned 18 over to his house to either A. Help him move, or B. Model for pictures. One of my friends told me about how he sat on some girls desk, took her food (some fries) out of her hand and tried feeding them to her during class telling her to 'just let me help kitten.' He was suspended last year, not for any of this, but because he got I a fist fight with some kid. My younger brother is a senior, and while the high school refused to say why the fight happened, my brother said it was because the teacher was acting weird to this guys friend/cousin so he fought him over it. There have been complains about the guy dating back over 15 years, but considering my school actively covered up multiple hate crimes (literally painting over things and then gaslighting kids telling them they didn't see anything and that they 'couldn't believe everything they hear) and the principle was paying kids $50 to snitch on people smoking in the bathrooms, I'm not surprised.
@C Yeah. We have another teacher in the same school district who's had over 20 years of reported child abuse to her first graders. I remember her hitting me and my mom with a pair of scissors and cursing me out until I cried (i wasnt even in her class at that point, i was a 3rd grader), and the principle told me that since I was moving to the big kids playground and Mrs. Fri didn't watch the big kids, there was no use doing anything. She also refused to let other adults help me when I got pushed off a high play ground equipment and the entire back of my neck was cut up and bloody. She just got suspended this last year after she messed with a kid who's mom wrote for our newspaper. The school board here doesn't gaf about the kids.
I got a letter from a law firm a couple years ago. They asked if I had ever been inappropriately approached by one of my high school teachers. Apparently, with the whole “me too” thing, one of my classmates had come forward & reported one of my teachers. Once I got on FB, I learned all my classmates had received the same letter I had. And unlike me, some did have stories of inappropriate interactions with the teacher. Don’t know what happened to him though. Nothing more has ever been said about it on FB.
It’s almost worse when they are so self aware because they still do what they do and avoid the accountability for the actions. Like a bad boyfriend saying “Well what did you except from me, I’m just an Ahole ”
I used to know a guy who, when angry, would say extremely hurtful things then later when confronted, he'd say, "I told you when I'm mad you can't listen to me. I say things when I'm mad. You have to talk to me when I'm not mad. " Like, you don't get a pass to be hurtful just because you're angry, and it's not the world's place to tiptoe around your emotions
@@echo1336A Totally!! I feel like most people have probably known that awful person. 😂 The first experience I remember was about 15yeats ago ,I dated a dude named Garrett in high school with an anger problem who would blow up like a toddler over literally nothing. I’d stay silent so his own words would just echo in the silence. He’d feel awkward, then he’d hit me with something like this (in a whining low dudes voice) “Your right, I’m an Ahole and a rude loud jerk” And me just there thinking That’s exactly right but you said it. And it was like WOW that seems to be totally okay with that for some reason. It’s much worse as an adult to run into someone like that.
@muhelectionwasstolen7253Well periods are a normal thing. Being a jerk and pissed off the whole time is not. People with anger issues need to get help.
The thing about self awareness is it gives you more control over your choice, so if you still go and make the wrong choice you are morally worse than if it was mindless instinct.
@@andrewthorpe3377 I have similar experience. I often say knowing is not half the battle and that it's maybe about 1%. However, ethically speaking we recognise awareness as increasing guilt and this is the point I was making. The law recognises this when comparing murder to manslaughter. If our disordered eating was as bad as child abuse, we would be a lot more motivated to fight it than we are when it only harms ourselves, right? Now, you are right that if he was trying to fight these urges then he would have an uphill battle after self-awareness got him that far, and I would have sympathy for that, but he's not fighting it. He's self aware and yet he stays in a job where he can be close to kids, watches CP, and talks about it online all the time, and chatted up a decoy teen... So in this case self awareness does damn him further. Hope that clarifies things. I'm sorry to have given you any idea that what I said applies to you in your situation - that was clumsy of me. And I hope you are seeing some progress. Often these things come from our past traumas so seeing a trauma counsellor can help break it's back. ❤
@@colmwhateveryoulike3240 I appreciate the response, but I don't agree with your characterisation of awareness as it relates to manslaughter vs murder. The legal difference there is not awareness. The difference is premeditation and malicious intent. If you kill someone with malicious intent or plan the killing of a person in advance (premeditation) it's murder. If you kill someone unintentionally or without malice, it's manslaugter. Anything more specific varies from State to State, but those are the basic common differences between the two. Personally, I don't accept your assertion that, ethically speaking, awareness increases guilt. As far as I'm concerned guilt is solely based on action and intent. If anything, being self-aware enough to admit you did something you know was wrong is ethically less severe than trying to lie your way out f the situation. Essentially, I don't think this guy was any more or less aware that preying on children is wrong. He was just willing to admit outright that he did wrong instead of lying and trying to twist the facts to save his own skin. It common knowledge that preying on children is not acceptable. As far as I'm concerned, if I was going to say one scenario was less morally reprehensible ( I don't. As I said before I see it all at the same level), the predators who prey on children and try to lie their way out of trouble would be more reprehensible than the predators who admity what they did was wrong from the stat and a
@@andrewthorpe3377 Ok I see where you're coming from and I think what I'm implying is that by being aware that what he is doing is wrong, intent can be concluded. In manslaughter being unaware of the consequences of your actions is what allows us to judge the lack of intent.
@@colmwhateveryoulike3240 Your imnplication is incorrect. "Being unaware of the consequences of your actions" is not what makes something manslaughter. You can be fully aware of the consequences of your actions and still commit/be charged with manslaughter. Manslaughter is just killing someone in a way that cannot be classified under the legal definition of murder (ie not with malicious intent--can still have intent that is not malicious--and not premeditated). As I clarified before, the specific details may vary from State to State, but it's easier to explain using specific statutes, so I'll use the specific statutes from Arizona to explain what I mean. In Arizona there are 2 categories of manslaughter (voluntary:intentional and involuntary:unintentional) beyond that there are 5 types of manslaughter (Reckless, by Sudden Quarrel/Heat of Passion, by Force, by Aiding Suicide, and of an Unborn Child). Essentially, all killing of another person is homicide. Under the umbrella of homicide there is murder (of varying degrees) and manslaughter. Murder is the more serious of the two and has a more limited scope. If a homicide does not meet the requirements to be considered murder, it is considered manslaughter. The level of personal awareness an individual has and their level of intent (as long as the intent is not malicious and the homicide was not premeditated) are irrelevant when deciding whether a homicide is murder or manslaughter.
@@andrewthorpe3377 Ok so if someone backs their car over someone they are aware is there and may die versus someone they aren't aware of being there, the action is the same and they are guilty but awareness makes it worse. Right?
Had a teacher in high school that always gave me bad vibes. Not long ago, he was busted with tons of cp. It's so sad that our children are being preyed on by such sick f***
imagine knowing your father is a predator and on top of that, got caught on TV. His kids definitely struggle with depression. Kids can be so cruel so you KNOW his kids were poked and pried at. And their dad has 0 remorse
I knew someone whose father was sent to prison for having CP. Like, a lot of CP on his computer. His mom didn't know, and he didn't know. From his recollection, his dad never did anything to him, but when the FBI busted into his home one day, all the respect and love for his dad died.
@@cniknik9863 hopefully Josh Duggar’s 7 kids escape the IBLP cult someday and learn the truth about their father. Hopefully none of his boys become predators too. IBLP creates pedophiles and sexual predators and teaches its members to victim blame women and children.
I graduated last summer and we had a few cases of teachers sleeping with students towards the end of the year.. none of them got in very much trouble, that I know of, and one is STILL aloud to be around schools. They both had wives and one had children. These men are getting away with sleeping with STUDENTS. It is sick and wrong on so many levels. These men need to be in jail not free and aloud to roam the streets.
This guy has never been caught before, that’s why he passed a background check. Also, once hired they don’t run background checks any more. I was a teacher and the only time a check is run is when you first get hired.
You'll be surprised, a lot of these creatures are able to keep this behaviour hidden from others. I mean if most of this happens in DMs then no background check (that I can imagine) will be able to spot it, unless they have a lot of kids on their socials there wouldn't be any red flags if they haven't been caught before. Background checks can only get so much info, social media, prior criminal convictions, etc. Anything not publicly available is unfindable basically. It's scary that creatures like this can pass these checks and educate the very people they would victimise, but unfortunately there isn't a system that exists just yet that can spot these people unless they have been caught before or have an unusual amount of children added on social media.
"Arrest me, take me to jail and execute me" Woah, he's very daring when he got caught. i like that he just gives up, but i also hate the fact that he didn't start crying, feel very ashamed that he got caught OR GOT TAZED like a disgusting predator he is. He really killed my mood of satisfaction
It infuriates me more when instead of fighting Chris and swearing up and down that they aren’t doing anything wrong, the predators go full on waterworks and are all “boohoo woe is me wah wah I’ll go to jail I’m so terrible I deserve to get beat up and die”. It’s emotional manipulation and painting themselves as the victim to garner any bits of sympathy because “they realized they’re wrong”. Predators are already disgusting but moping and groaning makes them even more pathetic
If I was the police chief, I'll hire Dane and have his primary weapon a taser gun, side arm a flashlight taser, and brass knuckles as his back up. I'll hire Ken too, he'll trash talk these type of guys while they're on their way to jail.
There was a creepy bus driver when I was in middle school. We all knew something was up with him, but I don't think anyone complained to the adults. He lost his job when he closed the door on the last girl to leave the bus. Her friends were waiting outside and made a ruckus when they realised what was up. To make things worse, he kept a photo of his daughter (a fellow student) on his dashboard. Everyone knew her dad was a creep. I don't think anyone teased her about her dad. We all felt so sorry for her.
@@heinrichmay7169 Actually have to disagree. Kids are mean and selfish. They have to be taught compassion and kindness. I will say, they definitely cherry pick when bullying. They'll make fun of someone with "fucked up" teeth who get sexually harassed, but not someone else who does that they don't typically bully. It's definitely not a straight across the board type of thing...
I had a high school math teacher who was accused by a student and they just took her out of the class and had her restart the class in virtual school, and he just kept teaching- finished the year and this was like 2013-2014ish and as far as I know he still works there. While I can't say whether it happened, he did have like a bunch of girls who had lunch in his room with the door closed and it was like a well known thing with my friends that if he asked to speak to you after class, someone stayed and waited at the back of the class for you until you were done. It's funny how many times students will get bad or weird vibes from a teacher and then something comes out and most of the class isn't that surprised.
When I was in middle school we had this tech dude who had his own office in the library and he would always call this girl out of class and was always with her she told me and my friend at the time that something was going on between then and the next day we were going to go to the office to let them know what we heard but someone got to them before us and he was taken out of the school in cuffs. He was doing all these nasty things to her and making her do these crazy things too
I had a shop teacher in high school who got fired for messing around with a minor. Then three of my classmates (half the class) got busted for smoking in the bathroom. So I ended up in a shop class with two seniors (I was a freshman) and no teacher for half a semester lol
@@isswilee2723 I had a graphic design or “tech ed” teacher who was also the softball coach and he made clearly disgusting suggestive comments touch and look at particular girls in class he knew he had a solid relationship with. (Girls on the softball team) all the boys (aged 12-14) saw it and would talk amongst themselves about it nothing came out that I know of.
I had a shop teacher in school who'd make me stay after class to put the tools away, and then he'd kiss and grope me in the tool room. I never had the courage to tell anyone.
I had 2 teachers in elementary get arrested for this one of them I went to her wedding and I feel sick every time I remember how much I looked up to her. I had another 2 teachers in middle school one of them got arrested the other was let go somehow and still works there despite having cp on his school computer and would watch it in class while we were there... And again in high school I had 3 teachers that were arrested all in the time I was at these schools :( people like this are everywhere unfortunately… I appreciate you making videos and spreading the knowledge
What type of IT and computer security does/did your school district have for a teacher to have CSAM/CP on his SCHOOL-ISSUED COMPUTER!!!?!?!?!? If I even attempt to access my GMAIL account on my work-issued computer I would get in trouble!! (I work in human service)
@@EssenceBScott the rumor among us kids was he brought a flash-drive in or something similar, he was the teacher of the computer class so he maybe could’ve figured out a way around it idk, and this was a little while ago too and our school district is still pretty outdated in tech. He only left for the last few weeks of my school year and then went back the next year like nothing happened, but we never got an official answer only something like “he had access to inappropriate videos of children while on and off school grounds” it’s wild
Many people have the assumption that allegations that arise after a trial has started are somehow invalid because “why didn’t they come forward before?” But many victims especially children are in a very vulnerable position where they may feel they cannot get help until someone else has gotten help first.
I had a choir teacher that would also help out with the band (so I was around him a lot in school) that worked with both the middle and high school. Later after transferring to a school in a different state, he was arrested for s*xually talking to who he thought was a minor on an app. It was actually someone undercover. It's so scary to think someone who had access to children, especially someone I personally worked with, could do something like that.
This happened to my school, an old teacher that was like 50 something was caught making out with a Minor in his classroom. His name is Jason Patrick Sager, in Florida, Sumter county. This is a Yee yee Redneck town so he's lucky he didn't get Shot or even killed for that matter, I just feel bad for his Son that attended the school
@@tashgardner I never had him as a teacher, thankfully, so I was generally unaffected, but my best friend was a victim of his unfortunate Creepy Presence and was hit on multiple times. Even tried to have her stay after class on his breaks.
@@JA-oo9qp From what I heard from the few girls that talked to me about it, he would ask them if they just wanted to hang after school, sent the girls Dic pics, and very explicit Dms to them on Instagram and Snap. He was that "cool teacher" and that he was "chill," so no one believed it at first until images of his nudes leaked out all around school. The girl that was making out with him in his class never came to the school again or rarely. The janitor walked in on them.
Mine was Chris Young in Peabody Kansas. I caught him straight up in the act if penetration with a girl and nobody believed me and I was punished hard. Barely 4 years and more minors later he got caught by somebody better than me it seems and went to jail
So as for no complaints before his arrest, I think I can understand why. When I was in high school we had a coach who we would notice checking girls out. He also got a bit flirty with me a couple of times, but he did it in a way where he could play innocent. Like he would say something worded to where he came off as innocent, but his body language and tone showed his true intentions. Due to that none of us reported him, because we had no evidence.
I have had a very sexually creepy teacher encounter as well, where my intention was to push it all the way to court, but the teacher acted like "I have no memory of this" and for some stupid reason he was let go, despite me providing extremely detailed chat logs. I'm very disappointed, but I'm glad he was promptly kicked out of the school he was teaching at. He even tried to guilt trip me about this, like "how are my students going to be able to graduate" yada yada. And I'm not the only one who was affected: he threatened exchange students that he "maybe might not give them their course credits" unless they met up at a club. He also revealed that he was abusing strong depression medicines with a lot of alcohol when he tried to back-pedal after I reported him to the school.
There ARE obv female child predators, but Chris Hansen has said that you virtually never see them predating on children in this kind of context. It’s usually in a different setting and facilitated in a different manner that makes it pretty impossible for Chris and TCAP to actually catch a woman in the act
Female child predator are usually opportunistic predators, they prey on children they already have access to, they don’t go out seeking more often than not. They’re teachers, foster parents, coaches, family members etc.
We had a gym teacher that was openly creepy and got reported multiple times for slimy behavior. Nothing happened to him while I was there, but about 6 years after graduating, I saw him stocking shelves at the grocery store. Maybe he finally got got. 🙃
They always say "it's just talk" when they're confronted about their screen chats, but I remember how embarrassing and uncomfortable it was when I was a kid and a relative talked to me like that. Talk is not harmless.
@CinnamonToastKen what you meant to say is "I hope we never run out of these videos of predators getting tazed" and we all agree with you. There's no such thing as tazing a predator too much, especially if it tries to mess with kids
I actually found out that a distant family member who was a high school teacher groomed and abused couple of children and only got 3 years in prison I believe. I don’t even think we have the rule in my country where they have to report to their neighbors he is a predator. I have to say that I did spent quite some time around him as a kid and he was never inappropriate towards me in any way so this is super weird to me.
I think part of the reason TCAP existed was to educate parents on the ways that their kids were being groomed online/to educate kids on how groomers and predators interacted with kids online (and irl) and to let them know that it was safe to come forward. Child predators have always existed but it wasn't really taken as seriously imo in certain areas in the US as it is today and shows like this made it apparent that child abuse in this way was not okay and that there was someone out there who was protecting kids. In this episode especially we see a teacher who has gotten away with being a predator for who knows how long until this moment. It also put pressure on authorities to actually get out there and do something about predators and to take victims seriously.
I watch all of my shows through yall I've been a fan since yall started! Yall Crack me up and make life a little less mundane! Thank you for doing what yall do! 😍 u guys!!!!
in 7th grade at a catholic school i had a crush on a teacher (and me being young i didn’t think of any consequences that could transpire). one day he was out of school and we had a substitute who had logged in to our teachers computer to show us a science slideshow… there was an open tab of p0rN and he resigned at the end of the school year (which was only a few weeks away). thinking back on that now, that’s was absolutely fcked up
We had a teacher in Middle School, married with 2 boys, and the teacher was an absolute UNIT of a creep. I vividly remember him putting security-esque cameras above the girls with the biggest chest in class, & when we’d ask about them they’d be down the next day, always making creepy remarks towards girls, taking several minutes to address questions by girls while glossing over the guys, chatting it up with girls, getting in their personal space, having girls stay after class/school for no apparent reason, etc. We had complained to school officials several times and nothing ever happened that we knew of, despite overwhelming evidence that he was creeping on kids. It sucks that institutions that are responsible for creating a safe, & comfortable environment for children to become productive members of society, allow unions to pay their teachers like garbage but allow predators to work around kids at the same time…
I didn’t know about the images on his computer. That’s absolutely disgusting; one is unforgivable but that many? He should have gone to prison for at least five, ten years for that alone.
In the same school we had a high school math teacher who married a student (my freshman year all of us busty gals had a hoodie rotation for his class because he would ALWAYS stare at your chest), a middle school counselor who participated in “slap ass Friday”, and the counselor who replaced him cheated on her husband with a 13 year old boy. I remember there being news vans outside and the rest of the teachers trying to keep us away from the windows. Buncha winners, them.
My dentist got set up like this by a guy just trying to scare pedos. He left the incident and went directly to his office and gassed himself. Everyone that knew him was super shocked. He was a strange kid but yeah...big oof.
Just finished watching another of of you guys’ Chris Hansen videos and was like “I wish there were more of these” and then this popped up in my feed! Perfect!
I’m about to be a teacher. The things I’ve seen from teachers horrify me. I have no doubt they get through the hurdles in the profession for this purpose. And the lack of a criminal record for many is no accident; they fingerprint test you beforehand
That’s exactly it, I think it was on dr Phil or something they said pedophiles’ nurturing instincts and sexual desire are all twisted together or something
I don't have maternal or paternal feelings. Kids irritate me and make me uncomfortable instead. When a coworker brings their kid in, I'll pretend to be super busy or leave my desk to dodge them. Even then, I still despise neglect or abuse of children on a moral level and I once literally walked barefoot across broken glass as a teen to pick up a neighbor's baby when she shattered a crock pot lid all over the tile floor and forgot the baby was in one of those doorway bouncers a few feet away from her. There's something even worse than a lack of parental instincts going on with these people.
I never get when the creeps are like "I knew this was all a setup". Then whyd you still show up? That means you weighed the percentage and knew more than likely you'd be arrested. Looked at the small percentage and went, but what if it's legit. And went through with it gambled your life on a small percentage to do something so gross. You deserve all the tasers then.
3:28 I believe Babst when he says that he never did anything with anyone but his wife. HOWEVER... That means... his poor wife was victim to some pretty gross fantasies that he likely never told her about. Unless he did the whole "school girl" thing. 🤮
This proves that these sickos know it’s not okay and they still go through with it. They still can’t help themselves. They don’t want to stop. It’s so scary that they’re out walking around and just living their lives. They will never change and people are still not safe around them.
The thing that i really like that Chris says is "it ceases to be fantasy when they walk into our house". We had a teacher who was finally busted for abusing students because of a text he sent. The girl went to the school and it came out that hed been abusing students for over 10 years. Had a wife and 6 kids. 2 were fairly young. It was disgusting. He was arrested and lost his job etc. It was really awful. The girl that exposed him (luckily she didnt send anything back, went straight to yhe school) was in crossfit and he was the coach. Thats why she had his number. The most dusgusting thing to me is that she was then bullied, people saying she was just wanting attention, ruined his life blah blah. Just...i hate these people
His first case, the Rabi did lol. Was a sad effort but that dude did lung at Chris after the cameras came out. It literally was the first person Chris got
I had a health teacher that always gave me a creepy vibe. He would literally show videos of him and his girlfriend working out in class.. so strange lol. One day after school got out, he asked me in the hallway what I was doing after and if he could talk with me in his classroom. I replied “No why? I’m going home..” then just walked away. After that he had the balls to ask a guy I sat by if I had a boyfriend wtf. Come to find out, he got caught “visiting” some girls college dorm that recently graduated from the same school 💀 Soo yeah don’t trust every teacher trust your intuition..
When I was in high school, we had this one creepy AF teacher. When we were barely 17, a female classmate moved in with him. They had the principals and her parents permission to be together. I remember during our freshman year, he suddenly started talking about how ANY girl could have ANY guy, no matter what. Of course he was fishing. Dude still teaches there *shudder*
speaking of teachers, my ex’s sophomore math teacher was arrested for having a lot of cp. he has two kids. they are under both girls under 8 years old. it’s genuinely awful
This guy is not showing regret or remorse about his actions. He's just sorry that he got caught and says anything to make his sentencing a bit better. All of them know that what they're doing is wrong so him saying that he's a huge ass or whatever is not him regretting his actions.
Had a teacher in high school who would show us movies apparently inappropriate for the class room (Boys don’t Cry comes to mind ) told us he used to be a male Stripper under the name of ‘Sebastian’ and later was found guilty of having relations with one of his female students.
Mike Manzi, Stanley Kendall, and now Walter Babst. All we need is James Rutherford and the TCAP teacher collection will be complete. Well, there was another guy but his exchange with Hansen was so short there was nothing memorable about it.
This guy was a teacher at my high school. Many students openly complained about his weird and creepy behavior for years to no avail. Crazy note: he returned to teaching at school immediately after he was busted. He sat in the corner of the class room crying until police came the next day and removed his computers.

I introduced my mom to this channel because I thought she would enjoy the TLC show reactions, but this morning I woke up with a notification from her that told me to watch this video. After I watched it, she told me that the guy taught at the same high school as my grandpa and that the predator and my grandpa were actually friends. (My grandpa never talked to or about him again after the show was aired). My mom said that she even knew the predator personally as a kid. Crazy how things can come full circle like that. Overall disgusted as usual, but just glad he didn’t try to hit on my mom as a kid.
No disrespect, but maybe look into your grandpa depending on how close they were... I hope I'm wrong
They weren’t that close, they were just coworkers that occasionally went to car shows on the weekends. My grandpa has been happily married for 46 years, so no he is not a predator :)
@@auroraborealis9916 ok but that doesn’t mean anything, sorry… some of them have been happily married for decades and still did it, which made it that much worse… it’s not just the ones that are single or with problematic relationships, in fact, most are in supposedly happy relationships…
@@auroraborealis9916 but the rest means I hope neither he nor anyone in your fam is anything like that and you’re all well (:
Oh my God. Are you and your family, okay? That must have been shocking to hear.
Going into education myself, and shadowing a lot of teachers at schools, I can say with absolutely sickening confidence that some people become teachers and educators for all the wrong reasons and none of the right ones. It’s disheartening.
Well what is to expected when the pay is so low that only super passionate angels and the evilest creeps will accept it?
I honestly feel so bad for all the students in the US. 😢
@@PoPcheesemo Eh the pay is really good when you consider the hours they work is a fraction of the norm. Their average salary across the US is $66k. The average salary of everyone in the US is about $50k. Teachers get about 3 times as much vacation time as most jobs, and many schools do not have 40 hour weeks. While teachers may stay at school after hours, or not, the work they do is hardly worth celebrating (the after hours work).
Schools need more funding, teachers don't. The environment, teaching material, and teaching curriculum are a lot more important to a students success than the slight chance of perhaps getting a more qualified person in 10 years down the road because the job pays a bit better (which is not a safe assumption). Unqualified people will become teachers for money. Teaching is one of the few jobs that requires passion and a certain set of skills to actually excel at, and an increased wage doesn't magically "motivate" someone to acquire these attributes. Besides, ignoring the best the teachers, the three things I mentioned (environment, teaching material, and teaching curriculum) are way more important for a students success than a good, let alone a decent, teacher.
To futher add on the useless gesture of increasing pay significantly, there isn't a shortage of teachers, but there is a very strong union that refuses to allow their worst members from being removed. If these "Creeps" or just under performing teachers could be properly dealt with than the over all standard would improve way more than it ever would by increasing wages.
I would support increased wages if it meant more rigorous training/education and being held to a higher standard.
@@CrossBreedTacoHDI have a strong feeling teachers would debate you on this but when you think about having to remember hundreds of students individual needs that some of the actual good teachers make a point to try and help with it’s a little ridiculous to downplay it. Most adults bitch and moan about watching ONE child that’s actually related to them lol.
I’d agree if anything nurses deal with more fucked up chaos daily and aren’t praised enough for it more than teachers. But just like teachers there’s some assholes in any and every job that do less than they could to help kids or others.

I remember him being at my school crying when the police took away his computers. Couldn't believe the police didn't inform our school know and get him fired.
That's horrific! Imagine if he'd realised his life was over and decided to go out with a bang... I know that's extreme but you think they'd have more than enough grounds to lock him up for a bit while they get even more evidence, considering he admitted to it all?? Ridiculous they just let him go to school.
Somebody here in the comments wrote something similar, maybe you know him if he was in the same highschool as you

@@aksel_5537 I read what the person wrote. Now am like wow someone in my class was there too?!
I remember watching this as it aired. I think I was 12/13, I had no concept of what a predator was or why it was wrong. Chris Hansen was helping the community on so many levels. He taught me about ONLINE predators & the dangers of it. No telling how many kids at that time were innocently unaware that these creeps exist. These men don’t think you’re mature for your age. It’s the exact opposite, they know you’re young & gullible. Chris Hansen taught me “stranger danger” because my parents were too uncomfortable to discuss anything about s3x. Thanks Mr. Hansen for alerting the community.
Same and agreed! When I was in HS too in the early 00s, the last two years, there was all these rumours about this guy in my year (who looked mid-20s but that’s besides the point) hooking up with this pretty young (20s) teacher (female) and he was popular and “the man” for it amongst the guys in school and she wanted to keep it more hushed up but he was braggy about it to his friends, and nobody said anything about her being a paedo or predo being the early 00s but now it’s like 😐😶🫥

@hollowgonzalo4329 why else would a paedophile choose to be a teacher
Why is he even allowed a job at this point
Had a teacher in 5th grade named Mr. Holcomb. He was buff and was always flexing his muscles in class. As a kid I assumed it was just something buff people did. 3 years later he gets caught with CP on his computer. All the lines just connected when we found that out. He was always flexing in class at the young girls, and the girls would get away with anything in class. It surprised me at first but looking back it was pretty obvious. It was just as kids we didn't know any better.
Makes me wonder about my 6th grade teacher at an all girls school … always had his fly open or a button on his shirt popped because he was overweight and he made a big deal about us possibly seeing him and “hid” behind the chalk board to fix his clothes while making weird jokes and laughing. Always made me feel uncomfortable…
@@mariannapuzzles That is creepy.
My middle school math teacher was fired for sleeping with students. And i remember when we were in class one day a kid told everyone that he was in the teacher's shower the night before and he had a very dirty soap holder, and the teacher looked embarressed. And I thought the student was just f*cking with him at the time, and I didn't realize until years later he probably was telling the truth
My school speech therapist was a pedophile, he even had adopted kids. He thankfully did not do anything to me but he would always hug my brother and now all of those experiences are now forever ruined in my head

How do they not run out of predators? Some of them even watched the show . They really deserve a darwin award
It's absolutely horrifying but there are probably thousands of pedophiles in the states. Who knows how many of them have actually acted on their disgusting impulses. I think the majority of them probably were assaulted as kids as well.
new people are born everyday
Sadly Darwin awards are for those who remove themselves from the gene pool without harming others, and before they can pass on their genes.
@@Disneymagic24 I hate how morbidly true that is 😩
They DID run out. Show ended in 2008 after the DA predator killed himself, but they were running dry before then with less than 50% "attendance"
There's a teacher at my old high-school who's been there for a looong time. He got kicked out of his old school district for 'repreated inappropriate interactios and conversations with minor girls' but was still hired by another school. There were district rules that he wasn't allowed to have a female student aid, if he was running detention another staff had to be with him or there couldn't only be females in the room with him, etc. He would sit all the pretty girls around his desk, assigned one girl he liked the most in every class 'kitten', and had, on multiple occasions, invited girls who had either just graduated or turned 18 over to his house to either A. Help him move, or B. Model for pictures. One of my friends told me about how he sat on some girls desk, took her food (some fries) out of her hand and tried feeding them to her during class telling her to 'just let me help kitten.' He was suspended last year, not for any of this, but because he got I a fist fight with some kid. My younger brother is a senior, and while the high school refused to say why the fight happened, my brother said it was because the teacher was acting weird to this guys friend/cousin so he fought him over it. There have been complains about the guy dating back over 15 years, but considering my school actively covered up multiple hate crimes (literally painting over things and then gaslighting kids telling them they didn't see anything and that they 'couldn't believe everything they hear) and the principle was paying kids $50 to snitch on people smoking in the bathrooms, I'm not surprised.
Damn, use his actual name. Amazing the school boards always cover for these people. Definitely don’t care for any of the children
JFC what kind of shit school is that???
@@JA-oo9qp I don't know his first name, last name is Rogers
If a teacher has to have another teacher in the room to be around children, they probably shouldn't be working there
@C Yeah. We have another teacher in the same school district who's had over 20 years of reported child abuse to her first graders. I remember her hitting me and my mom with a pair of scissors and cursing me out until I cried (i wasnt even in her class at that point, i was a 3rd grader), and the principle told me that since I was moving to the big kids playground and Mrs. Fri didn't watch the big kids, there was no use doing anything. She also refused to let other adults help me when I got pushed off a high play ground equipment and the entire back of my neck was cut up and bloody. She just got suspended this last year after she messed with a kid who's mom wrote for our newspaper. The school board here doesn't gaf about the kids.
I got a letter from a law firm a couple years ago. They asked if I had ever been inappropriately approached by one of my high school teachers. Apparently, with the whole “me too” thing, one of my classmates had come forward & reported one of my teachers. Once I got on FB, I learned all my classmates had received the same letter I had. And unlike me, some did have stories of inappropriate interactions with the teacher.
Don’t know what happened to him though. Nothing more has ever been said about it on FB.

You just weren't hot enough I guess 🤷 😂 jkjk
It’s almost worse when they are so self aware because they still do what they do and avoid the accountability for the actions. Like a bad boyfriend saying “Well what did you except from me, I’m just an Ahole ”
I used to know a guy who, when angry, would say extremely hurtful things then later when confronted, he'd say, "I told you when I'm mad you can't listen to me. I say things when I'm mad. You have to talk to me when I'm not mad. "
Like, you don't get a pass to be hurtful just because you're angry, and it's not the world's place to tiptoe around your emotions
@@echo1336A Totally!! I feel like most people have probably known that awful person. 😂 The first experience I remember was about 15yeats ago ,I dated a dude named Garrett in high school with an anger problem who would blow up like a toddler over literally nothing. I’d stay silent so his own words would just echo in the silence. He’d feel awkward, then he’d hit me with something like this (in a whining low dudes voice) “Your right, I’m an Ahole and a rude loud jerk” And me just there thinking That’s exactly right but you said it. And it was like WOW that seems to be totally okay with that for some reason. It’s much worse as an adult to run into someone like that.

@muhelectionwasstolen7253Well periods are a normal thing. Being a jerk and pissed off the whole time is not. People with anger issues need to get help.
@muhelectionwasstolen7253 I don't know a single person who is ever in labor as often as they are angry. That just makes 0 sense.
The thing about self awareness is it gives you more control over your choice, so if you still go and make the wrong choice you are morally worse than if it was mindless instinct.
@@andrewthorpe3377 I have similar experience. I often say knowing is not half the battle and that it's maybe about 1%.
However, ethically speaking we recognise awareness as increasing guilt and this is the point I was making. The law recognises this when comparing murder to manslaughter. If our disordered eating was as bad as child abuse, we would be a lot more motivated to fight it than we are when it only harms ourselves, right?
Now, you are right that if he was trying to fight these urges then he would have an uphill battle after self-awareness got him that far, and I would have sympathy for that, but he's not fighting it. He's self aware and yet he stays in a job where he can be close to kids, watches CP, and talks about it online all the time, and chatted up a decoy teen... So in this case self awareness does damn him further.
Hope that clarifies things. I'm sorry to have given you any idea that what I said applies to you in your situation - that was clumsy of me. And I hope you are seeing some progress. Often these things come from our past traumas so seeing a trauma counsellor can help break it's back. ❤
@@colmwhateveryoulike3240 I appreciate the response, but I don't agree with your characterisation of awareness as it relates to manslaughter vs murder. The legal difference there is not awareness. The difference is premeditation and malicious intent.
If you kill someone with malicious intent or plan the killing of a person in advance (premeditation) it's murder. If you kill someone unintentionally or without malice, it's manslaugter. Anything more specific varies from State to State, but those are the basic common differences between the two.
Personally, I don't accept your assertion that, ethically speaking, awareness increases guilt. As far as I'm concerned guilt is solely based on action and intent.
If anything, being self-aware enough to admit you did something you know was wrong is ethically less severe than trying to lie your way out f the situation.
Essentially, I don't think this guy was any more or less aware that preying on children is wrong. He was just willing to admit outright that he did wrong instead of lying and trying to twist the facts to save his own skin. It common knowledge that preying on children is not acceptable.
As far as I'm concerned, if I was going to say one scenario was less morally reprehensible ( I don't. As I said before I see it all at the same level), the predators who prey on children and try to lie their way out of trouble would be more reprehensible than the predators who admity what they did was wrong from the stat and a
@@andrewthorpe3377 Ok I see where you're coming from and I think what I'm implying is that by being aware that what he is doing is wrong, intent can be concluded. In manslaughter being unaware of the consequences of your actions is what allows us to judge the lack of intent.
@@colmwhateveryoulike3240 Your imnplication is incorrect. "Being unaware of the consequences of your actions" is not what makes something manslaughter. You can be fully aware of the consequences of your actions and still commit/be charged with manslaughter. Manslaughter is just killing someone in a way that cannot be classified under the legal definition of murder (ie not with malicious intent--can still have intent that is not malicious--and not premeditated).
As I clarified before, the specific details may vary from State to State, but it's easier to explain using specific statutes, so I'll use the specific statutes from Arizona to explain what I mean.
In Arizona there are 2 categories of manslaughter (voluntary:intentional and involuntary:unintentional) beyond that there are 5 types of manslaughter (Reckless, by Sudden Quarrel/Heat of Passion, by Force, by Aiding Suicide, and of an Unborn Child).
Essentially, all killing of another person is homicide. Under the umbrella of homicide there is murder (of varying degrees) and manslaughter. Murder is the more serious of the two and has a more limited scope. If a homicide does not meet the requirements to be considered murder, it is considered manslaughter. The level of personal awareness an individual has and their level of intent (as long as the intent is not malicious and the homicide was not premeditated) are irrelevant when deciding whether a homicide is murder or manslaughter.
@@andrewthorpe3377 Ok so if someone backs their car over someone they are aware is there and may die versus someone they aren't aware of being there, the action is the same and they are guilty but awareness makes it worse. Right?
Had a teacher in high school that always gave me bad vibes. Not long ago, he was busted with tons of cp. It's so sad that our children are being preyed on by such sick f***

The fact that this dude passed a background check is mind boggling to me
This guy has never been caught before, that’s why he passed a background check. Also, once hired they don’t run background checks any more. I was a teacher and the only time a check is run is when you first get hired.
You'll be surprised, a lot of these creatures are able to keep this behaviour hidden from others. I mean if most of this happens in DMs then no background check (that I can imagine) will be able to spot it, unless they have a lot of kids on their socials there wouldn't be any red flags if they haven't been caught before.
Background checks can only get so much info, social media, prior criminal convictions, etc. Anything not publicly available is unfindable basically. It's scary that creatures like this can pass these checks and educate the very people they would victimise, but unfortunately there isn't a system that exists just yet that can spot these people unless they have been caught before or have an unusual amount of children added on social media.
Doesn't surprise me
Background checks don't see into the future. The check your Background, hence the name.
Background checks, while very important, is only able to weed out those who have been caught before.
"Arrest me, take me to jail and execute me"
Woah, he's very daring when he got caught. i like that he just gives up, but i also hate the fact that he didn't start crying, feel very ashamed that he got caught OR GOT TAZED like a disgusting predator he is. He really killed my mood of satisfaction
It infuriates me more when instead of fighting Chris and swearing up and down that they aren’t doing anything wrong, the predators go full on waterworks and are all “boohoo woe is me wah wah I’ll go to jail I’m so terrible I deserve to get beat up and die”. It’s emotional manipulation and painting themselves as the victim to garner any bits of sympathy because “they realized they’re wrong”. Predators are already disgusting but moping and groaning makes them even more pathetic
If I was the police chief, I'll hire Dane and have his primary weapon a taser gun, side arm a flashlight taser, and brass knuckles as his back up.
I'll hire Ken too, he'll trash talk these type of guys while they're on their way to jail.
Yes!! Great idea! 👍
Even having them in a back room, wearing headphones and listening to the interrogation like an episode of “Impractical Jokers” would add so much.
Have them both roast this guy in the interrogation room 😂
And point things out in the background
Imagine: "okay boys we got a tough one, give him the old bad cop worse cop routine, it's what you two are best at"

There was a creepy bus driver when I was in middle school. We all knew something was up with him, but I don't think anyone complained to the adults. He lost his job when he closed the door on the last girl to leave the bus. Her friends were waiting outside and made a ruckus when they realised what was up. To make things worse, he kept a photo of his daughter (a fellow student) on his dashboard. Everyone knew her dad was a creep. I don't think anyone teased her about her dad.

It's definitely not a straight across the board type of thing...
I had a high school math teacher who was accused by a student and they just took her out of the class and had her restart the class in virtual school, and he just kept teaching- finished the year and this was like 2013-2014ish and as far as I know he still works there. While I can't say whether it happened, he did have like a bunch of girls who had lunch in his room with the door closed and it was like a well known thing with my friends that if he asked to speak to you after class, someone stayed and waited at the back of the class for you until you were done. It's funny how many times students will get bad or weird vibes from a teacher and then something comes out and most of the class isn't that surprised.
When I was in middle school we had this tech dude who had his own office in the library and he would always call this girl out of class and was always with her she told me and my friend at the time that something was going on between then and the next day we were going to go to the office to let them know what we heard but someone got to them before us and he was taken out of the school in cuffs.

@@EssenceBScott the rumor among us kids was he brought a flash-drive in or something similar, he was the teacher of the computer class so he maybe could’ve figured out a way around it idk, and this was a little while ago too and our school district is still pretty outdated in tech. He only left for the last few weeks of my school year and then went back the next year like nothing happened, but we never got an official answer only something like “he had access to inappropriate videos of children while on and off school grounds” it’s wild
Many people have the assumption that allegations that arise after a trial has started are somehow invalid because “why didn’t they come forward before?” But many victims especially children are in a very vulnerable position where they may feel they cannot get help until someone else has gotten help first.
I always can’t wait for my Happy Birthday from Ken every year. On a TCAP video though? Sublime
happy birthday! 😇
A great way to add a year onto your life.
He said before he doesn't like to end these vids like that
Lucky! It always seems to be Nikocado avocado on my birthday 😂 watching that guy makes me nauseous 🤢
Happy Birthday!!! 🤗
I had a choir teacher that would also help out with the band (so I was around him a lot in school) that worked with both the middle and high school. Later after transferring to a school in a different state, he was arrested for s*xually talking to who he thought was a minor on an app. It was actually someone undercover. It's so scary to think someone who had access to children, especially someone I personally worked with, could do something like that.
This happened to my school, an old teacher that was like 50 something was caught making out with a Minor in his classroom. His name is Jason Patrick Sager, in Florida, Sumter county. This is a Yee yee Redneck town so he's lucky he didn't get Shot or even killed for that matter, I just feel bad for his Son that attended the school
@@tashgardner I never had him as a teacher, thankfully, so I was generally unaffected, but my best friend was a victim of his unfortunate Creepy Presence and was hit on multiple times. Even tried to have her stay after class on his breaks.
@@onyxmisfortuneWhat exactly did he do that was creepy? I’m not doubting at all just curious
@@JA-oo9qp From what I heard from the few girls that talked to me about it, he would ask them if they just wanted to hang after school, sent the girls Dic pics, and very explicit Dms to them on Instagram and Snap. He was that "cool teacher" and that he was "chill," so no one believed it at first until images of his nudes leaked out all around school. The girl that was making out with him in his class never came to the school again or rarely. The janitor walked in on them.
@JA-oo9qp everyone knew it was him because his face were in the images
Mine was Chris Young in Peabody Kansas. I caught him straight up in the act if penetration with a girl and nobody believed me and I was punished hard. Barely 4 years and more minors later he got caught by somebody better than me it seems and went to jail
So as for no complaints before his arrest, I think I can understand why. When I was in high school we had a coach who we would notice checking girls out. He also got a bit flirty with me a couple of times, but he did it in a way where he could play innocent. Like he would say something worded to where he came off as innocent, but his body language and tone showed his true intentions. Due to that none of us reported him, because we had no evidence.
The thing I find most sickening, he was only in jail for a year!
I'll give him credit. He tried to disguise himself as The Great Cornholio when those cameras came out.
I have had a very sexually creepy teacher encounter as well, where my intention was to push it all the way to court, but the teacher acted like "I have no memory of this" and for some stupid reason he was let go, despite me providing extremely detailed chat logs. I'm very disappointed, but I'm glad he was promptly kicked out of the school he was teaching at. He even tried to guilt trip me about this, like "how are my students going to be able to graduate" yada yada. And I'm not the only one who was affected: he threatened exchange students that he "maybe might not give them their course credits" unless they met up at a club. He also revealed that he was abusing strong depression medicines with a lot of alcohol when he tried to back-pedal after I reported him to the school.
as Chris says best "talk is talk and showing up is showing up and guess what [insert name here] you showed up."
I love these videos, I’m still always shocked though that they’ve never caught a woman.
TCAP focuses on men who are child predators! I thought it was weird too so I looked into it!
There ARE obv female child predators, but Chris Hansen has said that you virtually never see them predating on children in this kind of context. It’s usually in a different setting and facilitated in a different manner that makes it pretty impossible for Chris and TCAP to actually catch a woman in the act
Female child predator are usually opportunistic predators, they prey on children they already have access to, they don’t go out seeking more often than not. They’re teachers, foster parents, coaches, family members etc.
Very small percentage. Black people are not into hurting children. Different people do different crimes
They honestly don't text minors often... its very very often a woman that you already, and it's in a private setting
He says high school like they're safe.
8:16 "i didnt transmit it though." He sounded like peter griffin right there
We had a gym teacher that was openly creepy and got reported multiple times for slimy behavior. Nothing happened to him while I was there, but about 6 years after graduating, I saw him stocking shelves at the grocery store. Maybe he finally got got. 🙃
They always say "it's just talk" when they're confronted about their screen chats, but I remember how embarrassing and uncomfortable it was when I was a kid and a relative talked to me like that. Talk is not harmless.
@CinnamonToastKen what you meant to say is "I hope we never run out of these videos of predators getting tazed" and we all agree with you. There's no such thing as tazing a predator too much, especially if it tries to mess with kids
I love these videos so much!! Thanks for uploading, guys.
No matter how many times I watch TCAP recaps, they're always great. Love these Ken!
He'd rather get the chair than have his wife find out. Well, now the whole country knows, so...
Ken gets so excited when he is reacting to Chris Hansen! You will never see him happier!
I'm so glad you can go back and review things you've watched when you're having a bad day this is an all-time classic
I actually found out that a distant family member who was a high school teacher groomed and abused couple of children and only got 3 years in prison I believe. I don’t even think we have the rule in my country where they have to report to their neighbors he is a predator. I have to say that I did spent quite some time around him as a kid and he was never inappropriate towards me in any way so this is super weird to me.
2:56 they are all self aware ken, always
Ken and Dane's reactions are so good that they add the comedy genre to a true crime drama show like TCAP.
Chris with the mind tricks get me every time 😂😅😅
Ken struggling with all these words make me realise I'm not as mentally deficient as I thought
I just binged your TCAP playlist yesterday. What a surprise to have a new video today!
I think part of the reason TCAP existed was to educate parents on the ways that their kids were being groomed online/to educate kids on how groomers and predators interacted with kids online (and irl) and to let them know that it was safe to come forward. Child predators have always existed but it wasn't really taken as seriously imo in certain areas in the US as it is today and shows like this made it apparent that child abuse in this way was not okay and that there was someone out there who was protecting kids. In this episode especially we see a teacher who has gotten away with being a predator for who knows how long until this moment.
It also put pressure on authorities to actually get out there and do something about predators and to take victims seriously.
I watch all of my shows through yall I've been a fan since yall started! Yall Crack me up and make life a little less mundane! Thank you for doing what yall do! 😍 u guys!!!!
in 7th grade at a catholic school i had a crush on a teacher (and me being young i didn’t think of any consequences that could transpire). one day he was out of school and we had a substitute who had logged in to our teachers computer to show us a science slideshow… there was an open tab of p0rN and he resigned at the end of the school year (which was only a few weeks away). thinking back on that now, that’s was absolutely fcked up
Normal porn or the bad kind?
@@ravenID429 i mean it was in the hot bar but all in all, it was bad either way
There are too many people like this. WE NEED A HERO!
We had a teacher in Middle School, married with 2 boys, and the teacher was an absolute UNIT of a creep.
I vividly remember him putting security-esque cameras above the girls with the biggest chest in class, & when we’d ask about them they’d be down the next day, always making creepy remarks towards girls, taking several minutes to address questions by girls while glossing over the guys, chatting it up with girls, getting in their personal space, having girls stay after class/school for no apparent reason, etc.
We had complained to school officials several times and nothing ever happened that we knew of, despite overwhelming evidence that he was creeping on kids.
It sucks that institutions that are responsible for creating a safe, & comfortable environment for children to become productive members of society, allow unions to pay their teachers like garbage but allow predators to work around kids at the same time…
“Absolute unit of a creep” lmfao what a great way of phrasing it 😂
I didn’t know about the images on his computer. That’s absolutely disgusting; one is unforgivable but that many? He should have gone to prison for at least five, ten years for that alone.
That must be nepotism or very high favoritism from job buddies. TCAP fans must have contacted his employer, but he still has a job. Unbelievable.
In the same school we had a high school math teacher who married a student (my freshman year all of us busty gals had a hoodie rotation for his class because he would ALWAYS stare at your chest), a middle school counselor who participated in “slap ass Friday”, and the counselor who replaced him cheated on her husband with a 13 year old boy. I remember there being news vans outside and the rest of the teachers trying to keep us away from the windows. Buncha winners, them.
If anything this makes it worse in my opinion. He knows HOW BAD it is, knows people are trying to prevent it and all. And he still did it… sigh.
You HAVE to cover Jim Rauch! His interrogation was pure gold!
My dentist got set up like this by a guy just trying to scare pedos. He left the incident and went directly to his office and gassed himself. Everyone that knew him was super shocked. He was a strange kid but yeah...big oof.
Just finished watching another of of you guys’ Chris Hansen videos and was like “I wish there were more of these” and then this popped up in my feed! Perfect!
BuffPro’s face when Ken says “I kinda like this guy” 😂
I’m about to be a teacher. The things I’ve seen from teachers horrify me. I have no doubt they get through the hurdles in the profession for this purpose. And the lack of a criminal record for many is no accident; they fingerprint test you beforehand
You have the opportunity to be the teacher a lot of kids need. Especially with the current gen coming in, they need strong role models. You can be one
Every time I’m on a TCAP binge you come in with one of these - i believe im manifesting great content ✨
‘Until the next guy gets here in 5 mins’ KENNNNN 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
How do you look at a child and not have maternal or paternal feelings? Something isn't right with their brains.
That’s exactly it, I think it was on dr Phil or something they said pedophiles’ nurturing instincts and sexual desire are all twisted together or something
I don't have maternal or paternal feelings. Kids irritate me and make me uncomfortable instead. When a coworker brings their kid in, I'll pretend to be super busy or leave my desk to dodge them. Even then, I still despise neglect or abuse of children on a moral level and I once literally walked barefoot across broken glass as a teen to pick up a neighbor's baby when she shattered a crock pot lid all over the tile floor and forgot the baby was in one of those doorway bouncers a few feet away from her.
There's something even worse than a lack of parental instincts going on with these people.
I never get when the creeps are like "I knew this was all a setup". Then whyd you still show up? That means you weighed the percentage and knew more than likely you'd be arrested. Looked at the small percentage and went, but what if it's legit. And went through with it gambled your life on a small percentage to do something so gross. You deserve all the tasers then.
3:28 I believe Babst when he says that he never did anything with anyone but his wife. HOWEVER... That means... his poor wife was victim to some pretty gross fantasies that he likely never told her about. Unless he did the whole "school girl" thing. 🤮
This proves that these sickos know it’s not okay and they still go through with it. They still can’t help themselves. They don’t want to stop. It’s so scary that they’re out walking around and just living their lives. They will never change and people are still not safe around them.
We will always support you and your channel. Keep up the good work.
The thing that i really like that Chris says is "it ceases to be fantasy when they walk into our house".
We had a teacher who was finally busted for abusing students because of a text he sent. The girl went to the school and it came out that hed been abusing students for over 10 years. Had a wife and 6 kids. 2 were fairly young. It was disgusting. He was arrested and lost his job etc. It was really awful. The girl that exposed him (luckily she didnt send anything back, went straight to yhe school) was in crossfit and he was the coach. Thats why she had his number. The most dusgusting thing to me is that she was then bullied, people saying she was just wanting attention, ruined his life blah blah. Just...i hate these people
I'm stunned no one has tried to assault Chris on this show 😂
One almost did
His first case, the Rabi did lol. Was a sad effort but that dude did lung at Chris after the cameras came out. It literally was the first person Chris got
David Kaye did
Notice how he say “EVER!” Slowly creepily pans eyes down.
Is no one enraged by the fact that he was only sentenced to prison for 1 year? And all peds get such low sentences?
xD I love how ken didn’t need to put “to catch a predator” in the title, it was implied by that moustache in the thumbnail
I love spending time with ken and buffpro in my day. It’s like hanging out with my two best friends 🥹
… sigh.🥹
“I didn’t do nuthin’, buh-da-buh-duh” is now my new excuse for everything 👌🏻
I had a health teacher that always gave me a creepy vibe. He would literally show videos of him and his girlfriend working out in class.. so strange lol. One day after school got out, he asked me in the hallway what I was doing after and if he could talk with me in his classroom. I replied “No why? I’m going home..” then just walked away. After that he had the balls to ask a guy I sat by if I had a boyfriend wtf. Come to find out, he got caught “visiting” some girls college dorm that recently graduated from the same school 💀 Soo yeah don’t trust every teacher trust your intuition..
There should be a bingo card for this with how many of the same stuff they say
You can tell Chris Hansen is SICK of hearing these dumb excuses these days
Watching your videos have become a part of my morning routine! Always happy to see new videos ❤
Samee 💯
When I was in high school, we had this one creepy AF teacher. When we were barely 17, a female classmate moved in with him. They had the principals and her parents permission to be together. I remember during our freshman year, he suddenly started talking about how ANY girl could have ANY guy, no matter what. Of course he was fishing. Dude still teaches there *shudder*
You guys should do a reaction vid to the show 'Cheaters'. Some wild stuff going on there lol.
oh man i loved that show so damned funny 🤣
THIS!
speaking of teachers, my ex’s sophomore math teacher was arrested for having a lot of cp. he has two kids. they are under both girls under 8 years old. it’s genuinely awful
This guy is not showing regret or remorse about his actions. He's just sorry that he got caught and says anything to make his sentencing a bit better. All of them know that what they're doing is wrong so him saying that he's a huge ass or whatever is not him regretting his actions.
Had a teacher in high school who would show us movies apparently inappropriate for the class room (Boys don’t Cry comes to mind ) told us he used to be a male Stripper under the name of ‘Sebastian’ and later was found guilty of having relations with one of his female students.
How the heck did he get such a good job after this happened? These people dont deserve jobs or even a roof over their heads.
Mike Manzi, Stanley Kendall, and now Walter Babst. All we need is James Rutherford and the TCAP teacher collection will be complete. Well, there was another guy but his exchange with Hansen was so short there was nothing memorable about it.
Thanks for the video! I have two very special people in the hospital today and I needed the distraction.
My high school computer teacher was arrested for having spy cameras in the girls bathrooms and locker rooms. He had a wife and kids too.
😡
Sadly, you've already watched the only three times in this entire show where someone gets tazed.
my dad told me this teacher was at his school, scary to think how close predators can be to kids.
