About this episode
“That’s not my condom…they planted it on me!” Willie Merrill, a registered sex offender, was caught in a Polk County, Florida sting on Takedown with Chris Hansen. After chatting with a decoy posing as a mother offering her fifteen-year-old foster daughter for sex, Merrill suspected it might be a setup—but came anyway. Arrested in his car
outside the hotel, he argued with officers, demanded a lawyer, and claimed he was being harassed. During his tense interview with Chris, Merrill’s defiance boiled over, forcing deputies to push him back into his chair.
