Have A Seat with Chris Hansen

Tyler Daigle told his wife he was running to Walmart for work supplies and supper ingredients. Instead, he drove to a house in the Louisiana countryside to meet a “15-year-old girl.” He was married, with kids
aged nine and two. He barged through the door before the decoy could finish opening it, then asked if he should take his shoes off. Then Chris told him to have a seat. Daigle couldn’t remember her name, only her age. He said he came to “hang out” and that he “wasn’t going to go that far.” When the lies ran out, he admitted he had a feeling it was a sting. He came anyway. He pleaded guilty and got five years in a Louisiana prison, then probation and sex offender registration. Recorded from the field
in Polk County, Florida, Chris also reports on a disturbing trend in the new
sting. He also answers a listener’s question on the Michigan ruling that pulled thousands off the sex offender registry.

On this episode of Have a Seat, Chris Hansen is joined by John Manly, an attorney specializing in representing victims of sexual abuse and assault. The two weigh in on the allegations against seven Cornell University students accused of sexual assault of a female undergraduate who claimed she was pressured into consuming ketamine, marijuana, and alcohol during the hours long assault in 2024. The scandal has rocked the New York campus and created intense public scrutiny over how campus police handled the investigation and subsequent punishment of the accused. In September of 2026, the Jane Doe filed a civil lawsuit against the school and the fraternity members prompting the reopening of a criminal investigation. Manly, who has represented victims in similar cases, discusses the parallels and possible challenges this case presents and the two question the campus police’s investigation and what the future of claims of sexual assaults on campus and potential prosecution.

Aquatica water park with the wife, the kids, and his parents. Then Roland
Jr. Jean got in a car with his cousin and drove to meet a "14-year-old
girl." He was a 26-year-old seafood chef from Vero Beach. He had two kids
under four, a wife who thought he was hanging out with his "homeboys," and $100 in cash for a "quick visit." In the chat he asked if she was a cop, then came anyway. In this episode of Predators I've Caught, Chris takes you inside a May 2026 sting with the Martin County, Florida Sheriff's Office. Jean walked into the house carrying a loaded .40-caliber Glock. When Chris told him not to leave, he bolted. Deputies took him down and found the pistol. Outside, his cousin's trunk held two more handguns and two assault-style rifles, loaded. Jean says he "forgot" the gun was in his pocket and that he would have "felt guilty." He pleaded guilty and got three years in a Florida prison. Chris also answers a listener's question on whether the military shields its own child predators.

On this exclusive episode of Have a Seat, Chris Hansen is joined by Diana, the American Airlines passenger that exposed Wheel of Fortune announcer Jim Thornton for engaging in a chatroom intended for discussions surrounding crimes against children and CSAM (child sexually abusive material) while on his laptop aboard a cross-country flight. Diana, who has never come forward publicly until now, takes Hansen through her “undercover” operation at 35,000 feet, the photos and videos she covertly obtained and what they said and showed, and how her instincts should be a message to all that ‘if you see something, say something’!

Second-grade teacher. Children's book author. A polished bio built on a climb out of poverty in Jamaica. And on June 2, 2026, Ashay Shakes was on a hookup app, telling a "15-year-old boy" he was 29 and asking him to get in an Uber. In this episode of Predators I've Caught, Chris Hansen returns to a six-day sting in Marion County, Florida, where 58 men surfaced. Shakes was told the boy's age twice. He sent a picture of himself in his underwear, gave his address, and pressed the "boy" to come right away. When he walked outside to meet the Uber, detectives were
waiting. In the interrogation room, Shakes says it was a setup and insists,
"I'm not a predator." Chris answers with the chat logs. Shakes pleaded guilty and got four years in the Florida prison system.
