Summary

David Randolph Scott is an alleged predator that was caught in a Blount County, Alabama investigation of Takedown with Chris Hansen. At the time of the sting, Scott had been living in Adamsville, Alabama with his wife. He also had two children, one 35 and one 38. Blount County Sheriff Mark Moon said that Scott did not have a criminal record. Scott worked as a Toyota car salesman but was described as being "semi-retired" at the time. Scott had been communicating with a decoy posing as a fifteen-year-old girl. He agreed to pay the girl $50 for a blowjob. Scott arrived to the sting house, but quickly turned around and drove off. A few minutes later, he returned to the house and parked in the drive way, greeting the decoy at the door. Once Chris came around the corner, Scott attempted to flee out the front door but was quickly apprehended by deputies. While being handcuffed, Scott stated that he was only "coming to visit." He denied ever meeting anyone online for sex in the past, despite his previous charge for soliciting prostitution. Scott did admit to knowing the decoy's age and requesting a blowjob from her, but claimed that he changed his mind.

0:00.0	I've confronted hundreds of men over two decades, men online looking for children to sexually assault.
0:07.7	Oh, Cody, I'm Chris Hanson. I'm not who you are. I tried to get into their heads and understand why.
0:13.4	But you have it on your phone. That's true. And ultimately, make sure they face justice.
0:19.5	Can I just give you some money on me?

0:23.6	These are the predators I've caught.
0:26.8	I'm Chris Hansen.
0:30.5	I spend a lot of time thinking philosophically about the approach we take in our take down with Chris Hansen's stories

0:49.1	You know, how do we balance the way we, the way I approach the men who show up in our investigations.

1:05.0	Do they deserve understanding?
1:08.0	Do I feign compassion in order to create some sort of a relationship that allows them in their mind to feel comfortable telling me their story?
1:25.8	I mean, ultimately, as a journalist, you know, I am a seeker of the truth.
1:29.8	And I go through this philosophical discussion, this mind play with you guys here on the podcast.
1:41.7	We don't always go through it on camera for the Take Down with Chris Hansen series that
1:49.6	you can find on my streaming crime network True Blue. It happens, you know, intellectually. It happens
1:57.1	behind the scenes, but I don't know that you always see it play out in the finished product
2:02.7	because we're caught up in the moment trying to execute the investigation.
2:10.1	And as you heard me talk before, there are a lot of things going on all the same time.
2:17.1	There are decoys working for the various
