https://nypost.com/2021/10/26/mom-38-poses-as-teen-girls-online-to-snare-sex-offenders/

Connecticut resident Roo Powell, 38, is snaring sex offenders in the new Discovery+ docuseries Undercover Underage by posing as different 15-year-old schoolgirls. The six-part series set to premiere Nov. 2 shows how the mom of three transforms into the teens in a bid to bust cyber creeps who are looking to lure in minors over the internet. In one episode, Powell poses as Flori an emotionally fragile high school student from Stamford according to the Daily Beast, which previewed the dramatic new series. At first, Flori enters online chatrooms for teenagers, where she is quickly contacted by several sleazeballs lurking on the forums. The messages Flori receives from the men range from the disgusting to the disgraceful to the outright abominable, according to the Daily Beast, and Powell is hell-bent on catching the creeps who composed them. In order to do so, she must keep the charade going and convince the men that Flori is a real teen.

The mom dons different wigs and uses a variety of lighting and touch-up tricks in order to look more than two decades younger. She sends snaps to the men and even communicates with them over FaceTime if they so request. Powell is so dedicated to catching the crooks that she even has a staged bedroom in her suburban home, which is decorated to look like it belongs to a teenage girl. But she doesnt work alone. Powell has an entire crew of assistants aiding her mission, including Norwalk Police Department Detective Mark Suda. The cop consults with the mom about her elaborate endeavors and pretends to be her Uber driver when she meets the men face-to-face. Powell is a child advocate and the head of the non-profit organization Safe from Online Sex Abuse (SOSA). Once SOSA has enough evidence about the identities of the men, they hand it over to official authorities. Alarmingly, two of the men busted in the new series are public school employees. Speaking with Deadline earlier this month, Powell stated: Online sexual abuse and exploitation can happen quickly and quietly. A minor can be alone in their room and someone can be abusing them via their phone 2,000 miles away. My hope is through broadening awareness with this show, we can prevent sex abuse and exploitation of children online, as well as empower parents and caregivers to be a compassionate support system for kids in their communities, she said. The show is created in the mold of the popular NBC series To Catch a Predator, which ran from 2004 to 2007.

ah yes, modeled after the show known to glamourize pedoshit for views
and then also fucking over investigations the cops had going on so said child abusers could get off free

At least with Jerry Springer you weren't fucking over the cops trying to put predators away and giving them more chances to abuse kids

So just like the series the show is created in the mold of they are going to waste everyone's time since most of these cases will get thrown out of court just like with To Catch a Predator?

She also looks nothing like a 15 year old.

Surprised Chris Hansen didnt scare off a generation of pedos thinking what if he shows up when I go to meet an underage woman. That these shows can still catch a bunch of them.

Entrapment laws will prevent actual child predators from going to jail. People need to stop this shit as while entertaining it allows a lot of criminals to get away. Let the police/law enforcement get these sick fucks the legal way and where they will actually go to jail.

I dont know how it works, but the whole point is to fool them. Shes in disguise and leads them on. Actual 15-year olds wouldnt if the dudes are much older and obvious creeps.
She doesn't initiate contact though

I think the people who do this stuff are just as creepy as the people they are setting up. Stuff like this and to catch a predator just seems weird to me like why are we watching tv shows about grown women pretending to be 15 year old girls to catch grown men. Would this woman even be doing this if she wasn't going to financially profit from it and gain fame?

This just plain isn't true

And it's only entrapment if she compels them to commit a crime they otherwise would not have. If they are initiating sexual conversations with someone they think is 15 then that isn't happening here.

Some one who knows the entrapment laws like a lawyer or attorney can explain it best. Even a police officer would probably be able to explain it.

Indeed, and it's also worth noting that she uses an actual police detective as a consultant

It's not entrapment. They aren't initiating contact with the men and telling them to do her. The men are initiating it. A cop leaving a car with the doors open and key in the ignition waiting for someone to steal it isn't entrapment. Coercing a random guy on the street to take the keys and making him drive it just to bust him for stealing it would be entrapment though.

Lol I love hearing about stupid stuff like this. As a kid I was astute enough to accurately guess that Chris Hansen himself was the pedophile (you just sometimes have an intuition about people, you know) because who would do something like that.

As for this case, since it's a woman doing it instead of a man, it's quite obvious that it's because she's secretly super jealous of the attention that younger girls get compared to an aging old hag such as herself which is why she's doing it, sort of like a Snow White-Evil Stepmother relationship.

It's not too far off from the age of consent, if she just happens to be into older men who are you to judge?

TCAP got a lot of convictions and she said she's working with law enforcement. this isn't the dumbass vigilante shit on Youtube. Just because some judges are idiots and throw cases out doesn't mean it was an overall bad thing.

What always astonished me about TCAP was the sheer amount of predators they snagged. Theyd set up a house for one day and like 50 dudes would show up, theyd be having to rush one predator out the back door so they could let the next one in. Shit was crazy, I never thought there were that many people like that.

just google it.

hes an exploitative piece of shit greedy asshole narcissist who fucked over chain of evidence and led victims on so he could try and be famous again on YouTube.

hes garbage.

the only reason you dont know that is because hes been irrelevant for so long hardly anyone talks about it and youre stuck with the thought he got the pedos so he must be good.
