Farzad Kalantari is a predator involved in the Long Beach, California investigation. He is known for chatting to a staggering nine different decoys at the same time, as well as lying about being Austrian and trying to help the girl he met with her education. Twenty-nine-year-old Kalantari, a native of Iran, began an internet chat with a Perverted Justice decoy who was posing as a twelve-year-old girl. Farzad stated that he wanted to have sex with the decoy and asked, "DO YOU HAVE ANY COUNDOM?" After she says no, Farzad said, "I MUST GO SHOPPING." When Kalantari arrived at the sting house, he extended his hand to shake the decoy's. She gave it to him grudgingly and he tried to kiss her forcibly. Before things grew worse, Chris quickly entered the room, shook Farzad's hand, and motioned for him to take a seat.

You just never know what kind of an excuse a suspected sex predator will come up with when he’s confronted. A 25-year-old, Robert Graber, described online in graphic detail how he was going to take the virginity of a 13-year-old—then he said it was all a ruse. And when he finds out he’s going to be on national television...”I’m Chris Hansen with Dateline NBC,” Graber gives some sage advice. “Do not mess around on-line. It can get you really in trouble. I’m extremely sorry. And I hope I don’t go to jail or anything. I’m really sorry.”

James "Jim"" Clifford Rauch was a potential predator caught in a KBI sting in connection with the Bowling Green, Kentucky investigation. Despite never being questioned by Chris, he gained notoriety due to his tumultuous journey to the sting house and his outrageous interrogation with the police, where he jokes with detectives and goes off topic numerous times. Rauch, started a webcam session with “Cheyenne," a girl he believed to be thirteen. He literally started off by asking the decoy if she wanted to give him oral sex. Over the course of eleven days, Rauch would send naked pictures of himself (one of them in his office) as well as make plans to take her back to his place for sex. Jim would take off in his car drunk on his way to see Cheyenne. He would get lost on his way, calling her and cursing like a sailor about not being able to find the house, saying things like, “The bears are looking for my dick!” When he arrived at the sting house, no one was there except the police to pick him up.

Stephen Michael Holt is an unaired predator involved in the Flagler Beach, Florida investigation. He is notable for almost being caught in the Greenville, Ohio sting. Eighteen at the time, was almost caught in the Greenville, Ohio investigation in March of 2006. Chatting to a contributor known as "Susan," a thirteen-year-old girl, Stephen's chat was fairly standard, claiming he loved to treat girls really nicely, suggested they play pool with penalties such as the winner getting a hug from the other player, and almost immediately organized to come over and watch movies. By the time of the Flagler Beach, Florida sting, Stephen attended college in South Florida for film studies. He was then nineteen and in college so he complied with prosecutable standards. In December of 2006, he started an online conversation with a decoy pretending to be a thirteen-year-old girl. Stephen inquired as to the type of underwear she was wearing, promised to teach her various sex practices, sent pictures of his genitals, and vowed to take her virginity…until Chris stepped in.

Michael Robert Reyes is a suspected predator involved in the Flagler Beach, Florida edition of To Catch a Predator. He is mostly known for rushing for a hug from the decoy before using having a two-year-old as an excuse as to why he wouldn't abuse somebody else's child. Michael, twenty-eight-years-old at the time, began chatting with a decoy whom he thought was a fourteen-year-old girl. At first, he tells the decoy he would not do anything inappropriate because he did not want to go to jail. However, when the decoy mentions that she is a virgin, Michael questions if she would have sex with him. He also asks if she had sex with older guys, and later sends a picture of his genitals. It took Michael two hours to arrive at the sting house. Upon entering the house, Michael rushes to the decoy for a hug, which causes Chris to come out.

Maroof Shah Farooq is a predator that was caught in the Long Beach, California sting. He is best known for showing up with two other males, one underage, for an apparent group sexual assault. Farooq, twenty-four at the time of his encounter, entered into a chat with a girl he believed to be twelve-years-old. His chat had very broken English to express some very raunchy desires that he wanted to have with a twelve-year-old girl, which included hard anal sex so she wouldn’t get pregnant and to “protect her virginity." Sounded like a blossoming romance... until he showed up to the trap house with two other men. Farooq would send in one of the guys, a fifteen-year-old, as a spotter in case it was a trap; if it wasn’t a trap, an apparent gang rape was in the plans. The fifteen-year-old bumped into Chris and tried to explain that he didn’t come to have sex because he had a girlfriend.
