New documentary scrutinizes Chris Hansen's 'To Catch a Predator' legacy

Original: ‘Primetime’ asks whether Chris Hansen is the predator. He’s sure of his answer.

A new documentary, 'Primetime,' examines Chris Hansen's career and asks whether the former 'To Catch a Predator' host behaved like the predators he pursued. Hansen, who became famous confronting suspected online predators on hidden-camera stings, rejects the film's portrayal, saying he is confident in his own answer to that question. The project has reignited debate over the ethics and conduct of the sting-show era.

Why now: A new documentary revisiting Hansen's conduct and the legacy of 'To Catch a Predator' is drawing fresh scrutiny to a familiar TV figure.
