Quotes:
Hansen: Well, there's something you gotta know. You ever watched television?
Breault: Yes.
Hansen: You ever watched Dateline NBC?
Breault: Yes.
Hansen: Have you ever see our stories on computer predators?
Breault: Sir, if I ... Am I on TV right now?
Hansen: Ehh... Not live TV, but these camera are rolling. You are obviously welcome to leave right now, but if there's anything else...
Breault: But, I'm gonna get in trouble, by the FBI and everything. And I don't want my face on the camera.
Hansen: Well, then you are welcome to leave.
Breault: But... I'm gonna get in trouble with all this everything.
Hansen: We don't know who' going to be in the story or who's not. These decision are gonna be made..
Breault: But you guys are calling the cops and everything?
Hansen: I'm just doing a story, and I don't know who's gonna be in the story and who's not. We haven't got that far yet. If you give me a phone number, I might be happy to call you.
Breault: I wanna know what's gonna happen right now, because the rest of my life just %*&$ing changed, dramatically. Cause, I'm gonna go in %*&$ing jail for talking to a 13-year-old which I never %*&$ knew and I don't understand why the %&*$ I did it. I'm gonna go and find a gun and %&*$ing shoot myself in the head. %*&$ing stupid!
Hansen: You want some water?
Breault: No, I don't want anything. I want a %*&$ing 12 gauge and put it in my %*&ing head. %?&*ing a$%. I'm %?&*ing stupid. I'm gonna throw my %?&*ing computer away.
Hansen: Why don't you get some fresh air?
Breault: Some fresh air isn't gonna do nothing. Who carry thsese teams? The FBI or %?&*ing whatever agency.
Hansen: It's different in different times. Sometimes, it's the FBI, and sometimes is...
Breault: I live at %?&*ing 30 miles away. Can you just call the cops right now, so I can go to jail?
Hansen: Well, why don't you go outside?
Breault: I don't want to go outside.
Hansen: Well... I-I-I I think you're gonna have to, Richer.
Breault: Why? %?&*!
Hansen: Richer, you can't just stay here forever.
Breault: I know I am.
Hansen: Why don't you give me your phone number and I'll keep you posted as to happen as the story evolves.
Breault: 62
Hansen: I'm sorry
Breault: ... 9!
Breault: But, as far as sending the picture, is that a felony, or anything?
Hansen: You know, I'm not a police officer, I'm not a...
Breault: Well, you obviously know something because you're a reporter and you're doing the story. And you said you do this for a living.
Hansen: It's usually against the law to send obscene pictures of the internet to somebody who is... who is underaged yes.
Breault: Okay, but is this... do you know the charge or anything?
Hansen: It's different in different jursidiction.But, typically, usually the... *sneeze*
Hansen: It's illegal under the federal law, it's illegal under most of the jurisdiction.
Breault: So, what? Jailtime?
Hansen: it depens! Again, I'm not a lawyer, I can't give legal advice but, you know, there's a lot of different factors to account there. All I can talk about is the story and again, we made no decisions as to who's gonna be in the story or anything like that, but, as I said, I-i I'll be happy to call you and let you know how that goes. That's all I can do for you.
Breault: I'm so done. My dad will kill me.

@3234718 He's definitely at fault in this video, no doubt he's about to commit a disgusting act. I just think that maybe a real underage girl would never have asked him for sex and his life wouldn't have been ruined if Dateline hadn't baited him.

2:24 Richard you just can't stay here forever, we've got pedos coming in by the hour!

LMAO!

[Trike17]

At nineteen he's still a teenager himself and has "sleazy" judgement, but he obviously knows what he did was wrong seeing as how he broke down. Can't help but feel sorry for him though, being as Chris called him, a "kid" who didn't strike him as dumb.

But if you're old enough to know better, you should DO better. I think his punishment was just, but if it were me, I wouldn't air this on television like they do to the older disgusting pedos who are like 20+ years older than a 13 year old.

@mathematics64 I actually don't think this aired, if I'm not mistaken. A lot of these on Youtube hadn't been released on the air, and bear in mind they typically only show 1-2 minutes for each case they do show

@shanefolan Um, perverted justice has been around since 2002. They only worked with dateline for a few months, generating minimal money; other than that, they've always been -- and will continue to be -- a non-profit organization. All their chatters are volunteers, idiot. Do research before you try to act like you know anything.

Fucking moron.

[shanefolan]

@malevmaliac perverted justice has got fcuk all to do with justice,its all about money for them-they made huge profit in this the whole way thru

[easyway2001]

LMAO fucking foul mouth pedo 

[malevmaliac]

@thetwomuffin All Perverted-Justice (not Dateline) does is toss the bait: they pose as children and wait for predators -- predators who, had it not been for Perverted-Justice, would have found a real child and molested them -- and then do their best to convict those individuals. There's a reason these agencies do what they do; they're protecting children.

[mathematics64]

You know I don't feel sorry for the older sickos but this guy is still a teenager too and not an adult. I think he made a mistake but there is entrapment going on here too. This dude is not a pedo, he probably just got carried away, they shouldn't have released this tape imo, I mean, fuck up a teenager's whole life, I feel bad for him, not for any of the others I have seen though, this kid is an exception.

[Lennycoma]

Damn he fucked up his life...that's what ya get for grooming underagers

[Zggrt443]

This guy should have been punished for doing wrong but he's still a kid...they shouldn't have put him on camera. Not excusing pedos but I feel bad for this guy. Other sleazy little maggots like Jeff Stacey and Lorne Armstrong can burn though!

[xEricTheGothx]

I think he's sorry that he got caught personally thats just my opinion
