"He's made his name with a controversial show that catches would-be internet sex perverts in televised stings. But now Chris Hansen has found himself on the receiving end of his own hidden camera tactics, after the married NBC anchor was secretly filmed on an illicit date with a blonde television reporter 20 years his junior. 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. A source told the newspaper the pair met in March, when they were both out with friends at the Blue Martini Lounge in Palm Beach. Miss Caddell, who was once an intern with NBC in New York, introduced herself to Hansen in the VIP area, and 'there was an immediate physical attraction between them', according to the source. The source alleged: 'Chris and Kristyn got on so well that she ended up going back to his room at The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach - and later boasted to pals about staying the night with him.' The couple have allegedly continued to meet up in Miami and Palm Beach over the last few months, with Miss Caddell and her friends even flying to New York to spend a weekend boating with Hansen, the Enquirer reports. According to the source: 'Chris sends Kristyn flowers and tells her he loves her, but he still doesn't seem all that motivated to leave his wife for her. 'He's telling her he loves his wife too, but they've grown apart over the years, and she's not sure what he should do.' Hansen has worked for NBC for two decades, but became famous with his controversial Dateline series To Catch a Predator. The show's producers work with online watchdog Perverted-Justice, whose volunteers pose as underage girls offering sex on the internet. But when they arrive to meet the girls, they find themselves confronted by Hansen, his film crew and sometimes the police. The Enquirer's sting took place last weekend, and recorded the pair as they went for dinner at the Ritz-Carlton's Angle restaurant on Friday at about 7pm. Miss Caddell was dressed up in high heels and a short, revealing dress, and according to the source they spent much of the evening staring into each other's eyes. They left at 9.15pm, and went for a drive along the ocean front, before being filmed filling up Miss Caddell's Jeep at a nearby gas station. Then they drove to a liquor store, and Hansen emerged clutching a bag full of bottles. The couple returned to Miss Caddell's apartment at 10pm. At 8am on Saturday, they, with Hansen pulling luggage behind him, and she drove him to the airport. A source told the Enquirer: 'They were both wearing different clothes from the night before... Kristyn's hair was dishevelled as if she'd just rolled out of bed.'"

Oh the irony

6/29/2011 3:49:44 PM

oh god

a grown man is dating a 30-year-old woman

6/29/2011 3:50:54 PM

6/29/2011 3:51:32 PM

I wouldn't call it ironic. "To Catch a Predators" isn't "Cheaters." This is America, no one takes marriage vows seriously anymore.

6/29/2011 3:52:19 PM

A man who is best known for exposing people's unethical sexual proclivities has been caught engaging in what is generally considered unethical sexual behavior

6/29/2011 3:53:02 PM

yo man you've got to bold some shit or put a tl;dr

this is chit chat i don't come here to work

6/29/2011 3:53:48 PM

He exposes people's illegal sexual proclivities. Adultery isn't illegal and this is a 30 year old woman.

6/29/2011 3:54:50 PM

Trying to hook up with kids isn't unethical, it's just illegal and a violation of social norms. Cheating on your wife with another consenting adult is...eh, I don't know what it is, probably unethical, but not illegal and not particularly uncommon.

6/29/2011 3:54:51 PM

would have been more ironic if she were underage.

Hey, I know that bar well. I too had a date with a hot blonde there once.

6/29/2011 3:57:15 PM

At least he's normal? A dude who wants to screw a 30 year old hot blonde TV anchor is probably a pretty normal guy. I would trust him to babysit.

6/29/2011 3:58:18 PM

If she was putting the moves on him and he didn't follow suit. I would have called him a faggot, but since he didn't, he's a man.

Besides, isn't the woman the one who is doing the wrong? according some bs islamic blah blah blah?

6/29/2011 4:00:36 PM

Adultery is much worse than any of the "crimes" being considered by the people on the show. Not even taking into consideration the fact that none of them actually had sex with anyone or anything and said prey never existed.

6/29/2011 4:06:00 PM

Why do hot women always go for old boring hairy old fucks.

I tell women in my age bracket who do this, "I hope you like his wrinkly balls."

6/29/2011 4:06:47 PM

oh gheez, I can't figure it out... maybe something to do with his power, money and stature... maybe its because he has a boat... must be it.

I should get a boat so I can fill it with hoe's.

Isn't 51 a little old for this.

6/29/2011 4:09:20 PM

I'm wondering with all of the drive through liquor stores, why didn't he use one of them.

6/29/2011 4:10:26 PM

How many bottles do you really need for two people? C'mon buddy, you've already got age working against you, whiskey dick ain't gonna help.

6/29/2011 4:11:22 PM

^ ^ ^ ^ I just got a really funny visual of a boat filled to the top with stacks of garden hoes lol

You know he came out of the store thinking:

I know what the young people like. I'm hip!

6/29/2011 4:13:09 PM

16 and 17 year olds are legal in most countries and even most states. Adultry is wrong anywhere. This is beyond Ironic. This is like the chairman of the fed filing for bankruptcy.

6/29/2011 4:15:24 PM

Can you imagine him being romantic with her later?

So first, I am going to have a seat over there.

And then I am going to ask you to have a seat over there.

And then we're going to have a conversation.

How are you tonight?

I think my favorite Chris Hansen line ever (formerly huge fan of this show in its heydey)
Oral sex is touching

His deadpan is classic.

Mix drinks require a few bottles and honestly its Florida. Alcohol is uber cheap there. You pay the same for a small bottle or a fifth.

6/29/2011 4:16:00 PM

I want to blank you in the blank

6/29/2011 4:17:13 PM

people cheat, in other news.....

Chris Hansen and his mistress were later reportedly blanking in the blank.

I've only watched the show twice but doesn't he always claim the girls are 13 or 14?

Nah it's more like the chairman of the fed committing adultery.

6/29/2011 4:35:17 PM

I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!


I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!


I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!


I KNEW HE WAS A PEDOPHILE!!!


He wanted to be able to explain WHY he was a pedophile by catching other d00ds. It was rewarding on a personal and societal level.


BUT ALAS


HE'S EXPOSED

Adultery is still worse

6/29/2011 4:37:30 PM

^ You might think it's worse, but it's not illegal (nor should it be) while sex with underage people is illegal (as it should be)

"I KNEW HE WAS A PEDOPHILE!!!"

The woman was 30

6/29/2011 4:38:44 PM

If these two people had done the exact same thing...


10 years earlier then.....contributing to the delinquency of a minor (liquor store)


13 years earlier then.....pedophilia


Seems to me he's guilty.

6/29/2011 4:40:46 PM

news would only be shocking if he peed on her...

This is the case in very few corners of the world. I don't know why you think its what should be.

Meanwhile adultery actually hurts someone and has been a sin for thousands of years.

6/29/2011 4:44:00 PM

^ If you're doing anything with that argument other than just playing devil's advocate for the sake of arguing then............

6/29/2011 4:45:32 PM

Fornication is a misdemenor in 4 states. Adultery is a crime in most of the world. Age of consent is 13 or 14 in most of the world. I don't know what you are trying to say.

[Edited on June 29, 2011 at 4:52 PM. Reason : smoking weed is also a crime here doesn't make it worse than adultery. ]

What constitutes underage is different in different countries, but sex with underage people is illegal pretty much everywhere except backwards 3rd world countries.

6/29/2011 4:52:36 PM

The artificial construct of marriage is significantly less important than the biological mandate of human development.

6/29/2011 4:53:58 PM

I think the point is that the particular age is arbitrary. Having sex with someone that is too young to understand the ramifications is wrong, but the "cut off" for determining that age varies substantially from place to place.

6/29/2011 4:55:16 PM

Backwards 3rd world countries like Sweden?

Quote :

"The artificial construct of marriage is significantly less important than the biological mandate of human development."

So you think US has late puberty? You don't think 13 and 14 year olds are biological adults?

^I know 25 year olds that don't understand the ramifications

6/29/2011 4:56:56 PM

Exactly, and these are the questions that are asked when people figure out how to agree on living together as a society about what's acceptable based on your culture.

I don't have all the answers, but that priority system is how I feel about the issue ethically, and the legal definition is what you're required to obey as a citizen.

6/29/2011 4:58:32 PM

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_Europe#Sweden

Quote :

"The age of consent in Sweden is 15, as specified by the Swedish Penal Code, Chapter 6 (On Sexual Crimes). The age of fifteen is referred to several times, for example in Section 4, which reads: "A person who has sexual intercourse with a child under fifteen years of age or who with such a child carries out another sexual act that, having regard to the nature of the violation and the circumstances in general, is comparable to sexual intercourse, shall be sentenced for rape of a child to imprisonment for at least two and at most six years.""

6/29/2011 4:58:39 PM

So your philosophy is anything illegal is wrong and anything legal is right.

6/29/2011 5:02:57 PM

So Julian Assange would have been in a better position (no pun intended) with a 15 year old.



[Edited on June 29, 2011 at 5:05 PM. Reason : ^ no - just that ethical defintions and legal definitions are mutually exclusive - for any area]

6/29/2011 5:03:18 PM

Somehow a 16 year old in Asheville is more prepared than a 17 year old 35 miles away in TN. Both developmentally challenged when compared to the 14 year old in Italy or the 13 year old in backwards Spain.

6/29/2011 5:11:00 PM

Seriously though, Spain and Italy are kind of backward in many ways.

6/29/2011 5:12:51 PM

Good to know that 11 US States and the muslim world got it right while the rest of the world is still living in the stone ages.

6/29/2011 5:15:23 PM

do you think chris hansen wears a suit to the blue martini VIP lounge? or does he show up in like slacks and one of those striped club shirts? either way i imagine it is ridiculous.
