Have A Seat with Chris Hansen

Feras Mahmoud Klisli is an alleged predator caught in a Polk County, Florida investigation.  At the time of the sting, Klisli had been living in Orlando, Florida with his wife, Heba, and their adult disabled daughter.  Klisli had been communicating with a decoy posing as a fourteen-year-old virgin girl. Described as "cryptic" by detectives, Klisli said in the chat that he wanted to kiss the girl all over her body and wanted sex. Klisli acknowledged the decoy's age at least five times, saying, "I hope I can meet with you, but you are 14 and that's dangerous."  When Klisli arrived at the sting house, he was taken into custody immediately after getting out of his car, instead of the typical scenario where the alleged predator walks into the house. Deputies took him to the ground in the middle of the road while Klisli repeatedly asked what was happening. Detectives called the number they had for Klisli, to verify that the person they were talking to was the man that showed up, and it appeared that Klisli had the decoy's name saved as "14.” During the interview with Chris, Klisli claimed that he did not know that the decoy was underage, instead claiming that he thought she was nineteen.  After further questioning, Klisli admitted that he did know that the decoy said she was fourteen, but claimed that he thought she was a liar.   Sponsored by: TruthFinder.com.

Initially, Gizinski asked for a "5-10 min quickie." Described as a "fast mover" by Chris, Gizinski repeatedly asked the decoy if she was ready to meet because he had limited time away from work.
