Case narrative

Sting

When Bryant arrived to the house, he met the decoys at the door and paid the mother $200. Chris Hansen came out and asked Bryant what he was thinking when driving up to the house. Bryant stated that he thought the size of the house was weird for someone to be a prostitute in. When asked why he came anyway, Bryant said, "Probably because I'm a bad person."

When Chris told him that he had an impressive degree yet he came to meet a minor for sex, Bryant asked, "Why would y'all bait this, though?" Bryant said he thought it was weird that the decoy insisted he have sex with the minor first. Chris asked him to clarify his intent, to which Bryant said, "I'm just horny." Bryant agreed that he did not care whether he was having sex with a minor or an adult. He also agreed that he paid the mother to have sex with the minor girl and intended on receiving oral sex and having intercourse. Although he had gone online to find sex before, Bryant stated that he never before looked for someone underage.

Bryant asked whether he was being recorded. Bryant and Chris briefly argued about what constitutes entrapment before Bryant asked, "Are you Chris Hansen?" Chris said that he was, to which Bryant responded, "You're still doing the show?" Bryant stated that he had seen the show before and had thought that the predators caught in it were "poor fellas." He also stated that his life was about to be ruined. Chris asked him who he blamed for ruining his life. Bryant responded, "Me. Actually you." He also told Chris that he had a loaded .45 caliber handgun in his truck.

Bryant stated that despite thinking earlier that police had to tell someone that they were police when asked and afterword researching that they do not, he still decided to hope that it was not a sting. He also said that he thought the mother was a "piece of shit for doing this," meaning selling her daughter for sex. When asked what he should have done instead that night, Bryant said that he "should have turned around when [he] saw this big ass house." Chris tried to tell Bryant that his life was not necessarily over and that people can get through situations like the one he was in, but Bryant told Chris that, "I didn't even do anything."

When asked if there was anything he wanted people to know, Bryant asked, "This is fu... why do you still do this?" Chris told him that he still did it because people still keep showing up. Bryant asked further, "Does[sic] people still watch this?" When told yes, Bryant just said, "Cool."
