Don't forget they caught these guys at a house. To not be associated with them in any way, shape or form means lots of folks will be moving to the caves. I think he had clothes on, time to go naked.

If you are worried about what NBC shows... you might be surprised to realize that these people live everywhere, drive everything, work everywhere, eat and sleep and . .. ... just like the rest of us.

Please stop wasting our time with moaning about a TV show that has a nutcase driving a certain car. Spend your time and efforts on the nutcase.

Just get the child molesters off the street.

I agree with rcs128 I have met some of the finest, most caring, generous people (generous with time, money, etc.) through involvement with Corvettes - both online here on the forum and in person. Those stories don't sell commercial time on the tube.

Remember that Dateline was the same "news" organization that created an explosion for the old GM pickups.......all for the sake of selling commercial time and sensational news stories - pathetic.

I agree, just get them off the street. But just to play devil's advocate, I don't know who built the house and I don't know what kind of clothes he was wearing. And if I did, it would be because I took notice of such things and not because they were singled out by the media, as was the case with the car as the narrator specifically mentioned he was driving a Corvette. Obviously, pervs come in all forms, shapes, sizes, and social classes. I guess in my mind I'm thinking that this should just be a common sense deduction without having to point out what he drives. Although not a huge deal, I still prefer not to have the type of automobile I'm driving singled out and made apparent when discussing child molesters ... call me crazy

Funniest thread ever!

NBC also highlighted the fact that these scumbags were men. Do you actually think that now everyone is looking at all men lilke this ?

Sheesh...Corvette owners and their fragile egos and self-images...

Obviously he likes surfing the net. Who's to say this perve has not been amongst us here on the forum? At one point when perve boy came out of the house to be arrested they even show his license plate and did not blur it out.

It is that we got dissed, but at least the moron is off the street. The other guys were probably driving hunks of sh*t and they didn't wanna show them...but get a nice Vette...they wanna show it...heck if they wanted to show a Vette they could have showed up here, I'll show them mine...glad it isn't red right now though.

It was a TR with powdercoated or painted dark gray wagon wheels, so I'm guessing 97-99. They even showed the guys plate for a few seconds, from Cinci Ohio, but I didn't catch his full plate. Other than the wheels it appeared stock, might have had tinted windows.

Dateline and NBC have been sucking the life out that segment. It's about the 5th time they have done this sort of show.

Bottom line ... the creeps deserve jail time no matter what the heck they drive ... And I'm glad I was watching the Yankee game on TV instead.

My 1st thought is that they should stop tipping the criminals by exposing how LEO's are catching them but then the kids need to know this is happening...... I have mixed feelings on this one.
