To Catch a Predator: He wanted a special birthday gift (Lorne Armstrong "lorne_a_20014")

Frag (Perverted Justice): He's coming back, Casey. He's trying to make sure he can see you.

In a few minutes, our next potential predator will probably be thinking he too should have stayed away.

Frag: OK, his name is Lorne, L-O-R, and you're Kayla. He should have condoms, pizza, bracelet and a cam.
Decoy: Hey, Im glad you could come.

Armstrong: Hey girl.

Decoy: (laughter) How are you?

Armstrong: I'm good. How are you?

Decoy: Good.

Turns out that today's his birthday. He's 37-year-old Lorne Armstrong, a construction worker. He's been chatting with a girl posing as a 13-year-old for more than a month. It's one of the longest chat logs we've ever seen -— 407 pages. Using the screen name lorne_a_20014, he tells her how to masturbate. And then asks her if she wants to see him naked. She agrees and he turns on his webcam. He wants her to look at his penis.

Lorne_a_20014 (09/17/07 11:48:40 pm): would you like to see it up close so you can get a better look at it?lol

Decoy (09/17/07 11:48:58 pm): omg I guess if u wanna show me

After chatting with the decoy posing as a 13-year-old for just six days, he expresses his deep love for her.

Lorne_a_20014 (09/23/07 11:55:25 am): I wish I could marry you right now because I would do it

Lorne_a_20014 (09/23/07 11:55:41 am): that's how special you are to me and that's how much I love you

But he clearly knows what he is doing is wrong, telling her to delete all evidence of their chat log.

Lorne_a_20014 (10/15/07 11:23:46 pm): ok, delete your archives and remember mrs. Kayla marie Armstrong.............I love you more than anything

Decoy: He was so excited to be here, and he came walking in very proud, very excited.

Decoy: It's a massager--

Lorne Armstrong: Oh, my God--

Decoy: --chair.

Lorne Armstrong: Look at that.

Decoy: It vibrates when you press the buttons.

Lorne Armstrong: Look. Oh my God.

Lorne Armstrong: I thought you had blonde hair?

Decoy: Do you like it? I dyed it--

Lorne Armstrong: I think--

Decoy: --myself.

Lorne Armstrong: I think it's pretty.

Decoy: Thank you.
Lorne Armstrong: It's very pretty.

Decoy: Well, weren't you going to bring me something?
Lorne Armstrong: Well, yes, I was. And I did.

Decoy: Did you bring condoms?

Lorne Armstrong: Yes, I did.

Decoy: Where are they?

Lorne Armstrong: Out in the truck.

Decoy: Well, what good are they going to do in the truck, if we're in here?

Lorne Armstrong: (laughter) well, yell at me, why don't you. I haven't had a kiss, yet.

Decoy: Oh, OK. Well, then, what did you want to do.

Lorne Armstrong: I want to kiss, first.

Decoy: And then what--

Lorne Armstrong: Can I have a kiss first?

Decoy: Well, let's talk first.

Lorne Armstrong: (laughter) No kidding.

Decoy: You just got here. (laughter)

Lorne Armstrong: Are you nervous?

Decoy: A little bit.

Lorne Armstrong: A little bit? Not as bad what you thought it would be? (laughter) I like seeing you in person.

Decoy: yeah, I like seeing you, too.

Lorne Armstrong: Good.
Chris Hansen: You seem pretty comfortable there.

Lorne Armstrong: How are you, sir.

Chris Hansen: How are you?

Lorne Armstrong: All right. How are you doing?

Chris Hansen: What's happening?

Lorne Armstrong: Not too much.

Chris Hansen: Yeah. So what are you up to tonight?

Lorne Armstrong: Not a whole lot.

Chris Hansen: Well, Ill tell you, for the last several days, you've been up to a lot. You're a pretty prolific chatter there. You want to explain yourself?

Lorne Armstrong: Not really, Id never, really, was going to do anything.

Chris Hansen: You weren't really going to do anything?

Lorne Armstrong: No.

Chris Hansen: So you brought condoms? What else did you bring?

Lorne Armstrong: I brought her a bracelet.

Chris Hansen: And she is how old?

Lorne Armstrong: Supposed to be 13.

Chris Hansen: And how old are you?

Lorne Armstrong: Thirty-seven.

Chris Hansen: Now, besides all this chat here, and we'll go through that in a minute, you also sent a whole bunch of pictures. Now why would you think--

Lorne Armstrong: Ugh.

Chris Hansen: --that's appropriate?

Lorne Armstrong: It's not.

Chris Hansen: It's not. You tell her to delete her archives.

Lorne Armstrong: I didn't want her to get in trouble by her parents.

Chris Hansen: You talk about getting married to her. Getting married? She's 13.

Lorne Armstrong: I meant when she was 18.

Hansen: You were going to marry her when she turned 18. What do you think ought to happen to you? 

Lorne Armstrong: I think I should go to counseling to get off the internet. I've got to do something, because I can't do thi-- oh my God. (crying)

All that's missing is a little propeller on the top of his hat.

2:00 god this is pathetic it reminds me of when i was 13 years old with a boner trying to talk to girls

[Nennachen]

@malevolomaniac I *have* read them. Guys who are that lonely will "fall in love" with anything breathing that will give them any positive response at all. I work on videochat sites so believe me--I know first hand! All I do is pretend to care and next thing I know, I've got regulars pouring their hearts and feelings out to me. It's really sad.

lorne_a_20014 (10/08/07 8:22:08 PM): you mean you wouldn't kiss my pimple on my butt to make it feel better?? lol

kayla_princess94 (10/08/07 8:22:25 PM): ewwwww no way

[07andrewthedude]

@mrbdubski the show didn't even come close to showing the world how much of an arrogant prick that he really is. He makes it difficult to feel compassion for him. He is a weasel of a man and a poor example of humanity.

[MrBdubski69]
