Summary

Jared Michael Weaver is a predator caught in a Genesee County, Michigan investigation of Takedown with Chris Hansen. He is mostly known for claiming that Satan tempted him come to the sting house to sabotage his marriage. Weaver began communicating with a decoy posing as a fifteen-year-old girl. After being informed of the decoy's age, Weaver said, "Ok," then asked if there was a place he could park a medium sized truck and trailer. At one point, after knowing her age, he sent a video of himself masturbating. He also promised to pay the decoy $80 for sex. When he arrived to the sting house, the decoy asked him about the various loads he had delivered that day, since he was a delivery driver.
