Hansen returned to television in 2022 with the series Takedown with Chris Hansen on TruBlu, which ones again features him tracking down online predators.[34]

“ones” should be changed to “once”.

Unless I've got the wrong idea, I assume "Associated acts" under a creator's infobox is for people they've collaborated with. Hansen investigating Onision for pedophilia and Onision calling the cops on him doesn't sound like it fits the bill.

If I remember correctly, an earlier version of this article mentioned how Chris Hansen allegedly had an extramarital affair with a TV reporter Kristyn Caddell who is decades younger than him during his first marriage. According to [https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/to-catch-a-predator-host-caught-in-cheating-sting-report-says Fox News], Hansen was allegedly caught in a sting organized by the National Enquirer. Currently, this article does not mention that. Should that get added back in?

[https://people.com/celebrity/chris-hansen-caught-cheating-on-his-wife/ People] magazine reported the alleged affair. [https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/chris-hansens-alleged-ex-lover-says-she-has-proof-of-affair-with-to-catch-a-predator-star Fox News] reported how his alleged mistress has picture proof of the affair, which Hansen denies. The [https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2011881/Chris-Hansen-caught-cheating-wife-sent-explicit-photos-mistress-Kristyn-Caddell.html Daily Mail] reported that he allegedly sent explicit photos to his alleged mistress.

:To add to this, according to [https://www.businessinsider.com/nbc-drops-chris-hansen-2013-8 Business Insider], NBC let go of Hansen two weeks after Business Insider published photos of him kissing his alleged mistress. Flipperndipper (talk) 06:13, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

:To use more reliable sources, according to [https://time.com/3713694/chris-hansen-predator-killer-instinct/ Time magazine], "The married Hansen was allegedly having an affair with a Florida television reporter some 20 years his junior. In 2013, the woman, who said employers would no longer hire her after news broke of her apparent relationship with Hansen, released personal photos of herself and Hansen, including one showing what appeared to be the couple locked in a kiss. A short while later, NBC announced it was not renewing Hansen’s contract." Flipperndipper (talk) 06:21, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

Rumors of rape and sexual abuse by Dahvie Vanity of Blood on the Dance Floor had been circulating since 2009. Band members Garrett Ecstasy, who left the band in 2009, and Jayy Von Monroe, who left the band in 2016, have described Vanity as a sexual predator. Jeffree Star and New Years Day members Ash Costello and Nikki Misery have stated that they observed Vanity engage in questionable or illegal sexual behavior during one of the Warped Tours and also during the "All the Rage Tour 2012" in the early 2010s.Rachel Campbell (August 1, 2018) [https://www.altpress.com/news/blood-on-the-dance-floor-dahvie-vanity-sexual-assault/ Blood On The Dance Floor's Dahvie Vanity accused of sexual assault] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210304062924/https://www.altpress.com/news/blood-on-the-dance-floor-dahvie-vanity-sexual-assault/ |date=March 4, 2021 }}, Alternative Press, accessed March 18, 2020{{Cite web |title=Ash Costello Sheds Light on Dahvie Vanity Allegations |url=https://loudwire.com/new-years-day-ash-costello-dahvie-vanity-allegations/ |last=Schaffner |first=Lauryn |website=Loudwire|date=April 26, 2019 |access-date=February 14, 2021 |archive-date=March 6, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210306165419/https://loudwire.com/new-years-day-ash-costello-dahvie-vanity-allegations/ |url-status=live }}

On March 2, 2018, Jessica Leonhardt (known online as "Jessi Slaughter"), the victim of a 2010 cyberbullying case, made a Tumblr post in which they publicly accused Vanity of rape for the first time. In March 2020, Leonhardt told Hansen that Vanity sexually assaulted them in April 2009, when Leonhardt was 10 and Vanity was 24. They were interviewed as part of Hansen's YouTube channel Have a Seat with Chris Hansen; Hansen described Leonhardt as Vanity's "victim zero".[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujXVPl4q380 Have A Seat With Chris Hansen Ft.

Chris Hansen. March 26, 2020. Via YouTube. Leonhardt said they were at a party at which Vanity was present and while they were in the bathroom of the house, Vanity coerced them to perform oral sex on him. During the next 16 months, Leonhardt stated that Vanity had violently raped them under the guise of BDSM-style sexual activity. In 2010, Leonhardt told a classmate that Vanity had molested them, but later told Insider that they used the term as a joke, and viewed the relationship as consensual. Leonhardt also stated that had they not mentioned Vanity to classmates – which led to the case being discussed online – the abuse would have continued. One year later, 21 women accused Vanity of sexual assault, child molestation, and rape with many of the women saying that the attacks had taken place while they were under the age of consent. This led to the FBI beginning an investigation into the allegations against Vanity.

This information is absent from this article tho for an unexplained reason. 209.93.242.220 (talk) 17:32, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

All instances of "TakeDown" should be styled as "Takedown." Also, why does the article start with "Despite" when talking about To Catch a Predator's popularity? That makes no sense. The segment ran for a while, the ratings declined, it was canceled, and Hansen resurrected the format elsewhere. That's it. DiarrheusJohnson (talk) 05:19, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
