It wasnt until a few weeks later that we even learned he was on the show.
It just kept unraveling!
He had come to get drinks for one of my birthdays and to be honest he seemed completely normal.
To Catch a Predator
There was nothing that stood out to me as creepy or off.
My friend was a WRECK after everything happened.
Shes a smart girl too and didnt expect anything like that AFAIK.
I felt really bad for her.
We were all in our late 20s, he was a highly educated, well liked guy.
He was nice, funny as hell.
We were all shocked.
He got busted trying to sleep with a 12 or 14 year old girl.
We read the chat log between him and the girl, it was disgusting.
Never spoke to him again.

There were no signs
Im a lawyer.
He was married and had kids and was the nicest guy.
Very earnest and dedicated to the cause, trying to make the world a better place.
There were zero signs he would do something like that.
It was a shock when it came out.
It really shows that it could be anyone who does this key in of thing.
Just figured he was a good guy doing something for kids.
He didnt have any children though.
20 years later or so I see him at a rink.
To my surprise, he remembers me!
We talk for a half an hour.
He asks me about my parents, I show him pictures of my family.
I didnt think anything of it.
Anyway, we go our separate ways but do exchange phone numbers.
I figured Id call him over the weekend.

I Googled him
This was over a decade ago back in 2008 or 2009.
I was on a dating website and was talking to a guy that claimed to be a doctor.
I was getting suspicious of the guy and reverse searched his phone number.
I couldnt believe what I was seeing and asked him to send me a new selfie.
Sure enough, it was definitely him.
Just really glad I never met up with him.
Be careful out there everyone!

We all knew he was bad
Rapey, extremely rapey.
Was someone from my hometown in NY.
Went to school with their younger sister.
After he graduated high school, he did everything he could to hang out with much younger kids.
Always wanted to buy booze for us or roll up a joint and smoke us out in his van.
Never touched me but there were rumours of him molesting a 12 year old in sleep away camp.
He was kinda dumpy in appearance but thought he was hot shit.
Both at the job and with the women.
A couple of them said he just creeped them out and let his touch linger longer than was polite.
He was just another shitbag to me.
Blue_E_Tank
He was weird but friendly
I was one dudes RA in university.
He had guns and rope in his vehicle when he went to meet the girl.
When he was a sheriffs deputy in Florida, he would come into my job frequently.
He was a really nice, respectful guy; he seemed to be a good cop too.
I was SHOCKED when I saw the episode.
You never really know what goes on in someones bedroom.

Bring your kid
Yes, Matty Nash.
He was creepy and kept trying to get me to go to Burning Man.
He came over to my house under the guise of talking business and then put the moves on me.
I turned him down and sent him home to his wife.
No one suspected it, he loved kids but thats cause he had 2 right?
Hed fix everyones computers for free and help them get into work.
Really great upstanding citizen.
This was particularly problematic, as the company was Nickelodeon Animation.
Everyone who knew the guy was actually pretty shocked.
Felt bad for the guy, completely gullible and too nice of a dude.
It was the Riverside, CA episode where two really young guys show up at the house.
Six years later the guy was busted for molesting a couple of his young students, girls and boys.
We literally called him Herbert.
It was the opposite of a he was the last person I would suspect situation.

My brother made me do it
I went to school with Robb Kline.
From what I can remember of him was that he was quiet and kept to himself.
He never did anything to label himself a creep.
His excuse for showing up has to be one of the worst.
He also throws his brother under the bus for the child porn that is on his computer.
It is blurred out in the episode but the company is Covenant Transport.
I went to work for them a few years after the episode.
During orientation they gave us a list of things that will result in immediate termination.
Things like Driving under the influence, failing a drug screen, and impromptu meetings with Chris Hansen.
