I read an article once about FBI training wrt interacting online with such sexual predators.

The FBI actually brought in two 8th grade girls to speak to the FBI class about all the current internet jargon that teen girls might use in chats.

This article was from 4 or 5 years ago at least, back when I used to subscribe to Newsweek.

The FBI agents (male) were supposed to learn how to chat online as if they were 13-yr-old girls.

I agree with NosferaDrew. I've watched a few brief segments, and they're all pretty similar. I felt an odd disconnect as I watched. We see these guys getting nailed, and everything seems rather low key. But what's really happening is that their lives are being ruined forever in the most ghastly of ways. The way it comes across inside the house is not very dramatic.

What actually happens to these guys afterward, does anyone know? I mean, they're caught and arrested 'before' they actually commit the worst part of their crime. Just wondering.
