Sting
Gurley arrived to the sting house and was greeted by the two decoys. The decoy playing the mother told Gurley to be gentle with her daughter and that she was nervous, to which Gurley responded, "Why would you be nervous if you're offering?" He then agreed to not harm the minor girl. Gurley paid the mother the money that he promised, $300, which would have been the price for sex with both the mother and daughter. Chris Hansen then walked out saying, "Doing a little last-minute Christmas shopping, huh?"
Upon Chris walking out, Gurley stated that he "knew it was a set-up." Gurley stated that he did not know why he decided to come meet a minor for sex, but agreed that he was trying to blow of some steam before going to Savannah, Georgia the next day for work. When asked why he lied about his age, Gurley claimed hat he thought the slightly younger age would make him more appealing to younger women. However, he stated that he was mostly interested in having sex with the older mother, not the daughter. I'm not gonna lie to you."
I don't have time to go date." Chris asked what should happen, and Gurley, taking total accountability, said that he should just go home and pretend that it never happened. Gurley stated that he did not bring condoms but "meant to ask" the decoy.
