Edgar, using the screen name ricks_talented_tongue chatted online with a decoy who told him she was a 12-year-old girl.
He tells her hes sending a picture of his penis. He asks if the girl has condoms, and in graphic terms, if he can perform oral sex on her.
But in the middle of the chat, he suddenly becomes suspicious:
ricks_talented_tongue (chat log): I have a strong feeling you are either a undercover or a cop trying to set older guys up.. you hear about it all the time
thisplacesux_ihateit: ur insane
And he makes this declaration.
ricks_talented_tongue: i would never meet a female under 18 to do anything sexual. I am reporting you to yahoo. Please leave me alone
Is he just testing the waters to protect himself? Whatever his intent, Edgar doesnt leave the decoy alone, and keeps chatting. Just to be sure the girl is real, he says he wants to talk to her on the phone.
Perverted-Justice obliges, and puts the decoy on the line with him. In the end, he decides to come—but hes still not convinced.
Edgar: So, what are you doing?
Decoy: Not too much. I was just talking online.
Edgar (suspicious accent): Talking online?
Decoy: Lol! Yeah!
Edgar: Hmm...
Decoy: You can look around. Nothing.
Edgar: Ahaha.
Decoy: Where are you going?
Edgar: Just tryin' not to think about this.
For the next few minutes after he enters the home, Edgar cant decide whether he wants to stay or go. Finally, he comes in.
Decoy: Whatever.
But spots our camera crew in the next room.
Edgar (at the house, sees Hansen): See?
Chris Hansen (walks out): You are a suspicious guy, Rick.
Edgar: I told you theres people here.
Hansen: I want to speak with you for a minute. Why dont you have a seat right over there.
Edgar: I dont—I wasnt planning on any of this.
Hansen: Good, I want to hear the whole story. So come on over here and have a seat. You can tell me all about it.
Edgar: Geeze, I might as well, just—my lifes over. My lifes over.
Hansen: Rick, now Ive got some transcripts here of your conversation with this girl.
Edgar: Didnt—I did not want this to happen—I didnt do anything—
Hansen: Please have a seat on this stool. Relax. Calm down for a minute.
Hansen: Alright, let me just, so lets clear the air...
Edgar: Ive never done anything like this.
Hansen: Let me read to you the first line out of your mouth. Hello, howre you doing? Can I tease and please your blank with my tongue, and make you blank over and over? Right after that, she tells you shes 12.
Edgar: And then I said, Y—youre a little too young. Please—
Hansen: Right. You say, I knew a young female like would like that.
Edgar: Youre arresting me and everything like that.
Hansen: Im not, Im not arresting you.
Edgar: They are.
Though he doesnt see them, Edgar seems to know the police are outside.
And that shouldnt be a surprise. Remember that Edgar sent this picture of what he said was his penis?
Edgar: That aint mine. No.
Hansen: Whose was it?
Edgar: I have no clue. That aint mine.
Hansen: So you didnt send her, or transmit, or let her see—
Edgar: It—it was a fake picture, is what it was.
Hansen: Okay, but you transmitted it?
Edgar: Yes.
Hansen: It may not have been you, but you transmitted a picture of somebodys genitals—
Edgar: All I did was copy it and I did that. Thats it.
Hansen: Okay. Do you think thats appropriate behavior, when talking to somebody who says shes a 12-year-old?
Edgar: No, its not.
Hansen: No. okay
Edgar: Read what I wrote to her this morning when she kept playing—trying to get an older guy. This is wrong, I s—I clearly said, Please leave me alone. Do not message me. What does she keep doin, she keeps messaging me. And m—trying to get an older guy to come over here.
Hansen: So its her fault?
Edgar: No, its not—it—
Hansen: Blame the victim...
Edgar: Its not my fault. Its not her fault.
Hansen: Not your fault, Rick? You kept going with the conversation.
Edgar: I came here because I was going to get cigarettes, fill up my tank and then go fishing.
Hansen: What, you thought they sell cigarettes at this house?
Edgar: No.
Hansen: Do you think they sell gas at this house?
Edgar: No, I do not.
Hansen: Then why even stop here, then, if all you were going to do today is get cigarettes and gas.
Edgar: Thats why it was wrong for me to even stop here, and I just--
Hansen: Come on you gotta have some sort of insight.
Edgar: I was going fishing. Check my trunk. I—I have my fishing gear. My fishing license is in my console. I was going fishing.
Hansen: It sounds like what youre fishing for was sex with a 12-year-old girl is what you were fishing for.
"Can I have a drink of this?"
"If you'd like."
"Can I make a sandwich?"
"I guess so."
"Can I bake a cake and have some dessert?"
"OK, NOW YOU'RE PUSHING IT, RICK."
