#Primetime speaks to a uniquely post-9/11 American need to revel in the bloodlust for the righteous and public crucifixion of others with moral impunity. Child predators are the ultimate moral target with which to regain any sense of societal control after the Twin Towers.
Every single person on To Catch a Predator not only solicited a minor online but actually showed up to a second location with the explicit intent to sexually abuse them. That OVER HALF were utterly unprosecutable is a result of how insanely reckless production behaved.
This movie hardly did anything to villainize Hansen, nor did it paint pedophiles in a sympathetic light. What it DID do was call attention to the fact that they’re people, and force the characters to reckon with that, rather than continue conceptualizing them as abstract monsters
