Re: To Catch a Predator, Revisited

In almost all of these To Catch a Predator cases, its pretty clear that the defendants were not unwilling to have sex with underage kids.

I don't know any of the facts, so I can't really comment. But the credibility issue is relevant here. How reliable is NBC's testimony about what was said (or worse, their pervert-hunter subcontractor's)?
Or maybe the DA just found the whole thing very distasteful and didn't feel like prosecuting. The fact that all but one of the cases was dropped suggests that there has to be either a systemic flaw in the evidence or a general unwillingness to go forward.
