I really don't know why anyone  thinks what this man does is any of their business, it should be a private matter between him and his wife because he had an affair between 2 consenting adults NOT A CHILD. He has taken many criminals and exposed them for the predators that they are and I think that is a great thing because he has prevented many children from being sexually molested or killed, look at some of the things that some of the people that were arrested had, guns, knives, duct tape, ect, I hate to think what some of those people were planning to do with those things. Leave this man alone because it isn't any of our business who he sleeps with, he is married to one woman and she should be the only one that cares who he has sex with.

I call BULLSHIT!!---I, and I suspect you and other readers as well, know nothing about Chris Hansen's personal life, except in this case, where he apparently cheats on his wife.  While I do not condone him, or for that matter, any married person, cheating on their spouse, placing them in the same class of individuals (married or not) as those exposed on "To Catch a Predator" is bullshit.  In "To Catch a Predator" Hansen and the others involved expose and help law enforcement catch, and usually convict, adults who use the internet to pray on children (individuals below the age of consent) for purposes of sex. An act that is illegal. Cheating on one's partner in marriage is a far cry from the same, and in many states not even illegal, nor grounds for divorce.It seems to me, the liberal among us in-fact defended Bill Clinton for the same and more.  Not only did he cheat on his wife, he lied to Congress, and to a federal judge.  Both illegal, even for the POTUS!  The liberal argument was, "yes, he lied, but he lied about sex!!.  A lot of peple do that!"  And now you're ready to hang Hansen for it.  .  The only similarity here is the use of hidden cameras, and if that were the only connection you made I'd have no problem with it.  But you, in some strange way attempt to twist him being in the same class as those exposed on "To Catch a Predator"!  That being the case in logic, you must also treat Bill Clinton the same.

I don't think that people lack appreciation for his human frailty, but that he confronted those in others' as if his own, if any, was to ever be questioned, or become public, is beyond reproach. All human beings deserve a level of dignity, irregardless of the wretched behaviors they indulge in, whether their indulgence be an acquired or an innate taste. He might, in the future, want to temper his self-righteousness with a little humility, when confronting the human condition.
