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.
