This guy blew his brains out because a guilt ridden mind is difficult to live with...not because he was being harassed.
You dont know that and neither did the police or Dateline. Nobody saw him do anything and, BTW, almost ALL of the time the Feds arrest a predator they have much more than just a transcript. You need to get the guy in contact with the "victim", or show some type of connection. The Feds have been extremely patient in predator busts because it has to stand up in court.
The embarrassment and humiliation they imposed on this guy and his family with such weak evidence is almost unheard of, as far as I know, and would not have happened without Dateline, regardless of whether he was guilty or not. It is disgusting what they have done, and I hope they get burnt on this.
The fact that there were twenty guys with cameras, lights and microphones, police dogs and guns in his house at the time is just a coiky-dink?
As a parent I am glad those perverts are caught. There is no excuse for them to talk like that to posters they believe are minors and then drop in when the "minor" says he/she is home alone. There is no entrapment - Dateline had copies of their chats. One guy actually showed up nude.
