    Juan Guzman

    04/06/2026 | 41 mins.
    "Like I said, I lost my mind." ―Juan's reason for trying to molest a minor

    Juan Carlos Guzman is a predator who was caught in the Polk
    County, Florida sting.  Juan immigrated from Puebla, Mexico to the United States in 2004, setting up a life for himself with his wife in Hollywood, Florida.  Juan, thirty-nine at the time of the sting, initiated a chat with a sheriff's decoy posing as a fourteen-year-old girl. He lied about his age by one year, claiming to be thirty-eight. Although he initially acknowledged she was too young when she said she wasn't eighteen, Juan's fears quickly subsided. He asked the decoy if she was "looking for friends, boyfriend, or sugar daddy?" claiming he was "looking for just hanging out and having fun." He would profess he could "teach [her] anything [she] wants," hoping the decoy wouldn't tell anyone. The decoy denied this, claiming that her mother would not be pleased. When the Sheriff's decoy gave Juan an out, he kept talking to the decoy "little by little," declaring he would like to be the girl first. Juan's chat got progressively more explicit, at one point sending pornographic images of himself to the decoy, as well as asking her if her mother ever checked her phone, which the decoy denied. He would describe in detail the sexual acts he wanted to perform, such as kissing the decoy's breasts, describing their size as "perfect," and attempting to
    solicit the decoy for naked pictures.  When the decoy claimed her mother was away at work, Juan made the three-hour drive from Hollywood to Kissimmee, making a stop at a gas station to pick up condoms, beef jerky, and Fanta orange. When Juan arrived, he was arrested by the Sheriff's deputies. Hilariously, despite being threatened at gunpoint, Juan
    continued to casually chew the gum in his mouth as he was arrested and
    searched, with his phone being seized by the arresting officers.  Detectives interviewed Juan before Chris entered
    the room.

But it’s what his wife Brittani Stapleton had been doing on line that leaves everyone shocked! Hansen and Baker dive into all the details!

    "I'm so dumb!" Douglas Cooley

    03/30/2026 | 42 mins.
    Douglas Vincent Cooley is a predator caught in a Polk County, Florida investigation. At the time of the sting, Cooley had been living in or near Apopka, Florida. Shockingly, he worked at the Clay Springs Elementary after-school daycare in Apopka.  Cooley had been communicating with a decoy posing as a foster mother willing to sell her fifteen-year-old daughter for sex. After learning of the girl's age, Cooley asked if they were law enforcement. Assured that they were not, Cooley then stated that he had never "come across this opportunity before." He also specifically asked to confirm the girl's age as fifteen. He agreed to pay $100 for a half hour of sex with the minor girl, saying, "I just want to fuck her." Cooley arrived at the house and was immediately arrested by deputies. While being handcuffed, Cooley muttered to himself, "I'm done for." While being searched, Cooley repeatedly kept telling himself, "I'm so dumb." He was first interrogated by deputies then it was Chris’ turn.

    Ethical Hacker Ryan Montgomery Reveals How He Started Catching Predators Online | Ryan Montgomery | Have A Seat Ep 30

    03/25/2026 | 1h 45 mins.
    In this exclusive episode of Have a Seat with Chris Hansen, Chris talks with ethical hacker and cybersecurity expert Ryan Montgomery for an eye-opening and informative session you won’t want to miss. Montgomery, founder of Pentester, the leading cybersecurity technology platform, talks about how he got his start in combating on-line attackers including uncovering an underground site ran by politician Nathan Larson. Montgomery’s pleas about Larson to the media and law enforcement fell on deaf ears until Larson was later arrested for kidnapping and sexually assaulting an underaged child, a crime that could have been avoided if Montgomery’s findings were taken seriously. But it was that determination and drive to protect children that founded Pentester and how law enforcement can now utilize his technology to find victims of human trafficking.

    This mega episode highlights the latest crimes against children, a show-and-tell of information available on line about YOU and what you can do to keep yourself safe from hackers, the latest products to prevent cyber-breaches and devices that can save your life in a disaster, as well as discussions and thoughts on the Epstein files and even the Nancy Guthrie case! Hansen and Montgomery leave no topic off the table; from sextortion, to Roblox, to 764, no group or threat against a child is safe from the duo of Ryan Montgomery and Chris Hansen.

    Brien Terry

    03/23/2026 | 46 mins.
    Chris confronts a predator who should have known better—but didn’t stop anyway. When 25-year-old Brien Terry is caught in a Marion County sting after pursuing what he believed was a 14-year-old girl, the case quickly reveals something more troubling than a single bad decision: a pattern.  What begins as defiance turns into a tense, psychological unraveling—excuses, contradictions, and ultimately a moment of raw remorse. But as Chris digs deeper into Terry’s past, one question lingers: when someone has already faced consequences for crossing this line… why do they
    come back? A chilling look at repetition, rationalization, and the dangerous mindset of a predator who knew exactly what he was risking—and did it anyway.
