He is currently serving his 5 years and upon release will be on probation for 15 years. But it’s what his wife Brittani Stapleton had been doing on line that leaves everyone shocked! Hansen and Baker dive into all the details!

The Dark Truth of the Gulf Coast Stapletons | Derek Baker | Have A Seat Ep 31

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.

"I'm so dumb!" Douglas Cooley

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.

Ethical Hacker Ryan Montgomery Reveals How He Started Catching Predators Online | Ryan Montgomery | Have A Seat Ep 30

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.

Brien Terry

On this episode of Have a Seat, Chris Hansen is joined by Chief Legal Officer and Litigation Director of Gold Law, Spencer Kuvin. In 2005 Kuvin represented the first known victim of Jeffrey Epstein whose report to Palm Beach Police Department kicked off the investigation and later exposed Epstein’s sex trafficking ring. Kuvin and Hansen discuss the missed opportunities and warning signs of that first case, Kuvin’s face to face interactions with Epstein during his depositions and the co-conspirators yet to be prosecuted. They also dive into the suspicions surrounding Epstein’s death and the recent revelations about the guards who were supposed to be watching him that night.

I Sat Across from Epstein: Victim's Lawyer on the Deposition, the Sweetheart Deal, and the Co-Conspirators Still Walking Free | Spencer Kuvin | Have A Seat Ep 29

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.

"Call me, "Master!" - Christan Medina

On this episode of Have a Seat with Chris Hansen, Chris is joined by Martin County, Florida Sheriff John Budensiek to talk about the harrowing case of two underaged sisters who were groomed on Roblox and eventually kidnapped by a man from Nebraska. For Hours went by and the family and law enforcement had no word, no leads, no clues, but it was a tech-savvy and quick thinking detective that cracked the case and eventually led to the mans arrest and girl's safe return home. 
The suspect, Hset Mu Lah Say is now facing charges from two states as well as federal prosecution, but this case and the ‘happy-ending’ needs to be heard by every parent or guardian with a child that is active on-line as they are always at risk of being groomed by another looking to do them harm.

Sheriff Reveals Disturbing Roblox Kidnapping Case | Sheriff John Budensiek | Have A Seat

A seemingly ordinary car salesman hides a far darker agenda. Anthony Farr of Little Rock spends hours behind the wheel, driving six long hours across state lines for a meeting he believes will be with a minor. What began as a series of explicit online messages quickly turns into a disturbing journey fueled by anticipation—and intent. But when Farr finally arrives in Livingston Parish, Louisiana, the person waiting for him isn’t who he expects. Chris is there, along with local law enforcement, ready
to confront him the moment his carefully planned encounter falls apart. Chris presses Farr in a revealing interview that exposes the troubling mindset behind predators who travel great distances to act on their fantasies. In this intense episode, the investigation lays bare the premeditation, deception, and dangerous patterns investigators look for—and the critical steps being taken to stop these encounters before a child becomes the victim.

Anthony Farr

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.

Ken Paxton | Have A Seat ep 27

"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.
