NBC paid a consulting fee to a group called Perverted Justice to do what they normally do-- Go into chat rooms posing as underage teens and engage in sexually charged conversations with adults.  These men made dates for sex with the decoys, and now they're showing up at this house, where Chris Hansen was doing an undercover investigation.

Despite the fact that almost all of the men who appear on the show pled or were found guilty of using the internet to solicit a minor for sex, NBC and Perverted Justice have been accused of entrapment, despite the fact that only law enforcement officers can entrap, and for NBC's paying Perverted Justice a consulting fee.  ABC's ''20/20'' criticized this alleged misconduct.
