Juan Guzman

4/6/2026
"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.

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

3/25/2026
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

3/23/2026
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.

"Call me, "Master!" - Christan Medina

3/16/2026
Christan Medina is notable for having called five separate Ubers to pick up a 14-year-old child for sex, wanting to do BDSM things with the 14-year-old, and for making her call him, "Master." Medina was caught in a sting by Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office. Instead of making an excuse for not knowing her age, he instead just said, "How do I know she's 14?" and that there was no way to know she was 14, despite the decoy stating it. Medina throughout the episode continually places blame on anyone and any system and refuses to take responsibility for any of his actions.

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.

Joseph Ross

3/2/2026
"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.

“Would it be cool if I spent the night? You can say no.” In this episode of Predators I’ve Caught, Chris breaks down the chilling sting that led to the arrest of Milan Miko, a 25-year-old culinary student caught attempting to meet a minor for illegal sex. Working alongside the Genesee County Sheriff’s team, Chris reveals how Miko allegedly left his girlfriend’s family dinner to pursue the meetup—after sending explicit messages to a decoy posing as a 15-year-old. Chris also examines what may drive this kind of behavior, from compulsive pornography use to the need for control, and why understanding predator psychology is essential to protecting kids online.
