Irony Alert: To Catch a Predator…err…I Mean to Catch a Philanderer

You remember Chris Hansen don’t you? He’s that guy hiding in the kitchen ready to jump out and surprise the perverts and would-be child molesters on his hidden-camera sting show To Catch a Predator.

Well, it turns out that Mr. Hansen was caught on video cheating on his lovely wife with this little tart, a 30-year old journalist from Florida named Kristyn Caddell:

Hansen, 51, has allegedly been having an affair with Kristyn Caddell, a 30-year-old Florida journalist, for the last four months.

Last weekend he was recorded taking Miss Caddell on a romantic dinner at the exclusive Ritz-Carlton hotel in Manalapan, before spending the night at her Palm Beach apartment.

Hansen, who has two young sons, was caught in an undercover sting operation arranged by the National Enquirer.

Secret cameras filmed the couple as they arrived at the hotel for dinner and then drove back to her apartment – where the pair left, carrying luggage, at 8am the following day.

Hansen lives in Connecticut with his wife Mary, 53, but he has been spending more and more time in South Florida investigating the disappearance of James ‘Jimmy T’ Trindade – and allegedly sleeping with Miss Caddell.

As Ace notes:

Hansen’s use of the cameras was for a good purpose (well… it was for ratings, but still, it was for a good purpose as far as a secondary benefit).

And catching him cheating with an adult woman isn’t the same as him catching determined pedophiles.

But there’s some kind of impossible-to-miss connection here.

Pretty funny actually, that the guy who made a name for himself setting up these types of stings was himself busted in one.
