Darrel Rockewell

from Have A Seat with Chris Hansen · host Chris Hansen

“I’m not a pedophile.” A sting operation in Florida. A man with nothing left to lose.  Given three to six months to live with the terminal diagnosis. Most people spend that time saying goodbye, making amends, telling the people they love what they mean to them.  58-year-old Darrel Rockwell spent one of those precious days online, searching for sex with a 13- or 14-year-old girl.  In this episode, Chris walks through how Rockwell's online conversations led him directly into the sting operation in Marion County, Florida — and how the encounter ended with Rockwell trying to flee the scene, sinking his own car in the process. It’s a hard look at what people do with the time they have left — and why vigilance never gets to take a day off.  Sponsored by: AquaTru: Head to https://AquaTru.com & use code HANSEN for 20% off your purifier and a 30-day best-tasting water guarantee Home Title Lock: Go to https://hometitlelock.com/chrishansen and use promo code HANSEN to get a FREE title history report and a FREE TRIAL of their Triple Lock Protection!
