Yes that guy is scum but some of what I saw on dateline tonight went a little too far. For example. some nerdy 27 yr old guy turns up to the "bait" house. From his point of view some 14 or 15 yr old girl invited him to her house for sex and told him to bring condoms and alchohol. OK he's a pervert or whatever but in most countries having sex with a 14 or 15 yr old girl is at worse socially unaccepable but far from a crime.
Anyway the guy turns up and the dateline guy comes out. Nerdy guy is really forthright and apologetic, looks really ashamed of himself, and even makes a plea to the camera to other would-be predators not to do what he has done.
He then leaves the house, calmly walks out the door, and gets knocked to the ground by a few cops with totally unecessary force. Then it's off to jail to be assfucked, charged with a felony and be put on the sex offenders registry. He's probably lost his job and any friends too. Basically, life fucked.
The guy was just hanging out in the romance chatroom and some girl asked him for sex. What the fuck.
