Police Cadet Rapist on To Catch A Predator Michael Patterson Police Interrogation

Michael Joseph Patterson, otherwise known as jon_raven2000 was a predator caught in the Bowling Green, Kentucky installment of To Catch a Predator. He is perhaps best known for screaming his ass off while being arrested by the police.

Biography
Prior to the sting operation, Patterson was a reserve police officer in Lebron, Indiana, who was fired for using police car lights to pull someone over, impersonating an on-duty officer.

Patterson drove 5 hours away from Kouts, Indiana to the sting house in Bowling Green to meet up with a girl he believed to be thirteen. Within 2 hours of being acquainted with the decoy online, he drives to her house and talks to her over the phone on the way. During the conversation, he discloses that he carries a gun with him everywhere, so the sting team gave the decoy special instructions to make sure he was unarmed upon arrival. The decoy gives a series of verbal commands to Patterson to prove that he is unarmed, and he giddily does so without suspecting a thing. Once he enters the house he gives into the decoy's small talk, admiring the house and falsely telling her that he's a detective lieutenant. After disclosing this he is greeted by Chris Hansen, who exercises his own detective skills and asks Patterson why he's there. Patterson cites his loneliness and his ongoing divorce as reasons to commit statutory rape.

After chuckling at hearing some of his chat log lines, he is let go by Chris, only to come face to face with a group of officers (who are advised to act more swiftly than usual due to the earlier suspicion of him being armed).

Upon seeing the officers, he steps back into the house and makes a run for it, being shot with a taser gun as a result. Only one of the prods of the taser connects with Patterson's body, which allowed him to run even further through the house without being electrocuted. Like a scene straight from The Walking Dead, he is quickly ambushed from all sides and taken down while he screams and begs hysterically.

Aftermath
On June 11, 2008, Patterson was convicted of Traveling In Interstate Commerce For The Purpose Of Engaging In A Sexual Act With A Minor. He received 7 years in federal prison and 10 years supervised release. He also received three years and ten months by the state of Kentucky. Both sentences were served concurrently.

In 2011 Patterson represented himself in a civil lawsuit against NBC Universal, Inc., asking for $40,000,000 each in monetary and punitive damages, as well as injunctive relief in the form of having all information about him taken off television and NBC's website. Patterson's allegations include:

He was "lured" to the sting house, and that the decoy took advantage of his "vulnerability".
NBC Universal, Inc.'s "libel, slander and defamatory statements" have caused him mental and emotional stress and ruined his reputation.
NBC Universal, Inc.'s participation in his arrest and search violated his constitutional rights under the Fourth Amendment.
State law claims for intentional disclosure of private facts, intrusion on the right to be left alone, harassment/intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligence.
NBC Universal, Inc. is liable for violating the "Journalistic Code of Ethics."
Patterson’s complaint was entirely void of any factual allegations regarding his claim for negligence, and the case was dismissed.

Trivia
His scream is commonly compared to Homer Simpson and Tom from Tom and Jerry.
He is the only tased predator to withstand the taser shot before being taken down.

MEN, How Did You Catch Your PERFECT WIFE Cheating?

MEN, How Did You Catch Your PERFECT WIFE Cheating?Stories of men catching their "perfect" wife cheating often highlight moments of heartbreak, betrayal, and shock, especially when the infidelity was unexpected. Here are common scenarios and ways men have discovered infidelity, often shared anonymously online or in real-life anecdotes:1. Suspicious BehaviorIncreased Secrecy: A wife suddenly became overly protective of her phone, using passwords or hiding messages.Changed Routines: Men noticed unusual work hours, frequent “girls’ nights,” or unexplained absences.Example: One man suspected something was off when his wife started staying late at work but never had a clear explanation. A surprise visit to her office revealed she wasn’t there.2. Technology Slip-UpsPhone/Texts: Finding flirtatious messages, suggestive photos, or incriminating chats on her phone.Social Media: Catching hints through tagged photos, private messages, or her behavior on social platforms.Shared Devices: Email or app notifications accidentally popping up on shared devices like tablets or smart TVs.Example: A husband received a text on their shared iPad meant for his wife, containing explicit details from her affair partner.3. Third-Party InformantsFriends or Family: Someone close spotted the wife with another man and felt compelled to share.Coworkers or Neighbors: Witnessing suspicious interactions and tipping off the husband.Example: A neighbor casually mentioned seeing the wife at a restaurant with someone who wasn’t her husband—on a day she was supposedly out of town.4. Gut InstinctBehavioral Changes: Sudden coldness, a lack of intimacy, or being overly defensive about small things.Intuition: A strong feeling that “something isn’t right” led men to investigate further.Example: One man felt uneasy when his wife kept “forgetting” her wedding ring. After a bit of digging, he discovered her affair with a coworker.5. Accidental DiscoveryCaught in the Act: Walking in unexpectedly or arriving home earlier than planned.Incriminating Evidence: Finding hotel receipts, gifts, or unusual purchases.Example: A man came home from work early one day to find his wife and her lover in their bedroom.6. Hired a Private InvestigatorSome men, feeling certain but lacking proof, have hired private investigators to confirm their suspicions.Example: A PI followed the wife to a hotel during a “business trip” and provided photographic evidence of her affair.7. Confessions or Slip-UpsUnintentional Confession: The wife let something slip during a fight or casual conversation.Guilt Confession: She admitted to the affair after struggling with guilt.Example: During a heated argument, a wife accidentally blurted out, “Well, at least he listens to me!” — leading to an unraveling of the truth.8. Unusual Financial ActivityBank Statements: Seeing charges for unexplained dinners, gifts, or trips.Unaccounted Expenses: Finding receipts for items that weren’t for the household or family.Example: A husband noticed repeated charges at a luxury hotel and eventually discovered his wife was meeting someone there.9. Friends of the Affair PartnerOccasionally, the affair partner’s friends or significant others have tipped off the husband.Example: The affair partner’s girlfriend found out and contacted the husband to reveal the truth.10. Emotional DetachmentChecked Out: The wife became emotionally distant, less engaged, and uninterested in shared activities.Focus on Someone Else: Overpraising a "friend" or constantly talking about someone new.Example: A husband noticed his wife’s emotional energy was directed toward a “new coworker” she couldn’t stop talking about, which led to the discovery of an affair.Common Themes After DiscoveryDevastation and Shock: Men often describe feeling blindsided, especially if they believed their relationship was strong.Confrontation: Many describe how they confronted their wives, and reactions varied from denial to tearful apologies.Moving On: Some men ended the relationship, while others chose to work through it, depending on the context and willingness to rebuild trust.Men, perfect wife, cheating, infidelity, betrayal, suspicion, affair, red flags, secret messages, phone activity, social media, unusual behavior, gut instinct, confrontation, private investigator, technology slip-ups, third-party informants, accidental discovery, emotional detachment, financial clues, hidden affair, guilty confession, caught in the act, unusual routines, trust issues, relationship breakdown, marital problems, incriminating evidence, hidden secrets, coping with infidelity.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-cheating-stories-2025--5953081/support.
