I have a great idea, lets go to a FUCKING GROUP HOME FOR TEENS and brag about how great my life has been. Smart move JOHN, tell a bunch of pissed off, angry, troubled kids how rich and famous you once were. How great your life was....hot girls, kids, mansions, tv, record deals...Im sure they are just filled with life lessons and motivation...YOU FUCKING DICKHEAD, they hate you. They see a bragging, drunk, jerk off....this is the YOUTH john...they have cell phones to look into your life like Bronx murder detectives. These kids NEED HELP...Not some has been narcissist to make them feel like shit. How arrogant to think he could stroll in there, bragging about a life of privilege and success and REACH THESE KIDS. Another massive rake....

Jeff Sokol is one of the most memorable people caught by Chris Hansen. In the attached photo, he seems so comfortable with Chris Hansen that he starts eating his pizza. During the interview and later police questioning, he argued that trying to have sex with and marry a 13-year-old wasn’t a big deal because he thought her parents might approve. His videos has more then 100 million views.

I’m writing a college paper about the encounter and what happened afterward. How was he treated by people in his community? Was he shunned, forgiven, or something in between? Did his family face any consequences because of his actions? I’d appreciate thoughtful, honest perspectives.
