“So my intentions, I’m gonna be blunt about this, is to help people.” Devin Fernandez

Episode Description from the Publisher

In this disturbing episode, Chris revisits the case of Devin Fernandez, a former corrections officer who crossed the line from authority figure to alleged predator, luring a 14-year old girl for sex, during an undercover sting operation. Through graphic chat logs and tense interrogation moments, Chris exposes the calculated manipulation, grooming tactics, and dangerous mindset behind the encounter.  But the investigation goes deeper. Chris pulls back the curtain on the justice system itself, comparing wildly different sentencing outcomes in cases from Florida to California — including the controversial plea deals that leave many asking whether predators are truly being held accountable. Why do some offenders face decades behind bars while others walk away with shockingly light punishment.  Sponsored by: 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!
