I have seen the video (or parts of it) and it's hard to imagine how he could not be considered guilty. On the other hand, determining the innocence or guilt of a person based on videos from vigilante groups who have a huge incentive to produce dramatic videos makes me incredibly, incredibly uncomfortable.

Wanna link to the juicy parts? Embrace the drama. EDIT: 40m32s is so damning. https://youtu.be/XDbMDy2e44w#t=40m32s https://youtu.be/XDbMDy2e44w#t=40m32s I’m amazed how stupid he is for not shutting up and walking out the door.

  The interrogators are pretty slick at this, and this is clearly not their first rodeo. The way you stop someone from walking out the door is you pretend that if they cooperate with you, you will help them out and contain this issue; if they don't cooperate with you then their life is ruined. You can see this from the good cop/bad cop routine they have setup between the man and the woman [1] Once you're caught as a pedophile who is lured into a hotel room with walls of text worth of conversations, you're basically done. At that point in your mind you're praying that the person who caught you doesn't disclose this to everyone, your job, your partner, your family, etc... You are praying that there is some way to contain this issue and get some help, and the good cop interrogator gives you some hope that she will help you contain it and that while she thinks what you did is disgusting, she can help get you out of the worst of it if only you cooperate and do what she tells you. Of course in reality it's not like these interrogators are good guys themselves and this entire thing is being streamed to Twitch in real time. The whole thing is just a crappy mess.
