Have A Seat with Chris Hansen

On this episode of Have a Seat with Chris Hansen, Hansen is continuing his investigation into Roblox, the on-line gaming platform that is at the center of controversy surrounding lax measures to keep children safe from predators. Chris is joined by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton as he too has filed suit against the mega-gamer for not protecting children, not disclosing crimes, and is asking for statutory damages for their security actions, or lack thereof. Multiple cases have come to light in Paxton’s state of Texas that struck a chord with him and his office, which he discusses with Hansen as the instigation of the lawsuit. The two also deliberate on what it will take to make kids safe on Roblox, who is culpable in the crimes against children both on the gaming platform and on chat sites like Discord, and how you can keep your kids safe on-line.

"If she wanted to play, I probably would have done oral and that's about it."

―Joseph Ross

At the time of the sting, Joseph Ross resided in Marquette City, Michigan.  Ross was communicating with a fifteen-year-old decoy run by the Marquette County Sheriff's Office. During his chat with the decoy, he requested that she wear a thong, a halter bikini top, and pigtails and informed her that he was into fetish play. He requested a phone call with the decoy so that he could hear her voice. After the decoy told Ross over the phone that she wanted to have sex, Ross asked how many times she
would "like to play." He then asked what she would charge and asked
the decoy, "how much do you wanna be a little fuck slut?"  During the phone call, Ross asked the decoy what her age was. He said it was "A-Okay" that she was young.  Ross arrived at the sting house and
immediately asked if it was setup upon entering. Once again assured that it was not, Ross took out $150 to pay the decoy, much less than the agreed upon $500. The decoy left and Chris walked out to meet Ross.

In this heartbreaking, shocking and emotionally raw episode of Have a Seat, Chris Hansen talks with Jason Sokolowski, a Canadian father whose daughter died by suicide in 2025 after being groomed by someone she met on Roblox and was messaging with on Discord. Penelope was just 16-years-old when someone going by the screen name “Culprit”, a member of the vicious online group 764, encouraged her to commit heinous acts, self harm and eventually to take her own life.  Today, Penelope’s father Jason speaks out about what he went through in the hopes to educate parents and adults on 764, the online group that prey upon our children to commit horrendous acts of self-harm and violence against themselves and others.
