Some had seen the show before and still couldn't help themselves from showing up to meet children at the sting house. And some were also in their 60s as well as ministers and teachers.

I'd like to see more information on these people posted in web-sites on sexual offenders like the one for FL. They do not seem to give that much details on the crimes involved, if the adjudication were part of a plea deal, and the exact ages of the victims. Of course, they should leave details about the victims out except for age and maybe county.
These sites seem to go for the emotional re-action of labelling many people as immediate threats to kids and women when this may be far from the truth. You really have to know more about each offender to determine if the person really is like the creeps who show up on "To Catch a Predator".
