Ex-‘To Catch a Predator’ host appears in court after arrest warrant ‘miscommunication’

Former “To Catch a Predator” host Chris Hansen says the arrest warrant put out on him for allegedly skipping a Michigan court date was just a “miscommunication.”

Hansen was supposed to appear in a Shiawassee County courtroom Thursday in connection with footage from a sting operation he assisted authorities with, a local TV affiliate reported. The sting had led to the October 2020 arrests of three men who allegedly sought to meet up with underage girls — an undercover operation akin to the work Hansen did as host of the popular NBC series, which ended in 2007.
