Chris Hansen, the journalist who created the televised series To Catch A Predator, warns that the problem of adults preying on children for sex is growing at an alarming rate.

Hello. I’m investigative reporter Robert Riggs with disturbing information from inside the crime scene about how our most precious human beings, our children, are being abused and exploited.

The journalism community has honored Chris Hansen with 10 Emmys and 5 Edward R. Murrow reporting Awards.

Over the years, we crossed paths as each of us shined a light on sexual predators.

Chris, I so remember your landmark work with “To Catch A Predator” in which you really peel back the curtain on sex predators. And you, you showed how 400 men were attempting to have sex with children. What do you think the state of that abuse is today?

Robert Riggs

Chris, let's pause for a break. And we'll be back and talk to you about the true crime nation.
