YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Skeet Hansen is part of a growing group of so-called "video vigilantes." Similar to Chris Hansen's "To Catch a Predator," video vigilantes set up online sting operations to catch alleged child predators. According to the Washington Post, in the last three years over 150 groups have emerged featuring average citizens catching predators online. He agreed to show Inside Edition how his latest sting went down in a Michigan hotel room. He says he’s doing a public service and disagrees with being referred to as a “vigilante.”
