Eddie Chan

**Hoi Dick "Eddie" Chan** is an unaired predator caught in the Riverside, California edition of **To Catch a Predator.**

## Chat

28-year-old Hoi Dick "Eddie" Chan thought he was talking with a Perverted Justice decoy posing as a 13-year-old girl. Chan quickly inquired about the decoy's need for company. After the dummy acknowledged that she was a virgin. Chan promised to teach the decoy about sex. He confessed dating a 15-year-old girl and instructing her in sex. Following talking about other topics,  Chan asked the decoy if she was interested in learning the size of his penis. Then he exposed himself to her on a webcam. He urged the decoy to have oral sex with him and compared it to licking a lollipop. He was eager to meet that day, saying he couldn't stop thinking about being with her. When she mentioned she had problems finding friends online, Chan remarked that most men online were looking for sex and wouldn't talk to her due of her age. He did, however, say that he would be very happy to have sex with her. After that, he offered to show her his marijuana plants. The following day, Chan phoned the decoy and admitted he was in court for a traffic infraction and would be arrested if the payment wasn't paid. Subsequently, Chan offered to take the decoy in when she stated she wanted to move out of her grandmother's house.

Chan expressed concern after she suggested her grandmother would call the police, saying that he didn't want them to locate his marijuana plants. But when he said that they would be in a relationship when they met, his concern vanished. Chan asked the girl if she wanted to smoke marijuana with him in a later discussion and said she would be in pain if he penetrated her. He invited her to play with his penis and inquired as to her desire to ingest ecstasy. He expressed concern once more, saying the girl was a minor and that he would be arrested if her mother found out. Chan then referred to himself as a pervert and claimed that he would be accused of harming the decoy because doing so would be against the law. Chan said that he was being called a pedophile by other people online when he made a comment on a picture of the girl her profile. He once more feared being caught and taken into custody. Before scheduling a meeting, the two continue their conversation for a few more days.

### Arrest and second chat

Chan's interview with Chris Hansen was never aired. After he was arrested by the Riverside County Sheriff's Office, Chan's bail was set at $50,000 dollars. Chan and fellow predator Keith Williams would again surface on Perverted Justice when they conducted a non-related Dateline sting operation at Laguna Beach in February 2006. Chan was caught again chatting up another underage decoy posing as a 13-year-old girl while out on bond. This time, he was careful about not being as sexually explicit. He gave her the full account of what transpired in January indicating he arrived to the sting house and was arrested at the front door, Chan also including the prediction that he would likely spend "a long time" in prison. Chan lied about his age this time, claiming to be 23. He inquired as to her preference for older males and whether she was single. He immediately requested to meet her. He claimed that she couldn't tell her parents or the police that they were hanging out together. He was once more concerned about being discovered meeting with a child. Then, he revealed his age as 28. Chan enquired about her sexual history and made a request to date the decoy.

## Aftermath

After being caught a second time, Chan was again taken into custody. On February 24, 2006, during a felony settlement conference, the district attorney informed Judge Bernard J. Schwartz that Chan was involved in "possible additional misconduct" and asked that his bail be increased to $1,000,000,000 dollars. Judge Schwartz denied the motion, and instead ordered Chan to not use computers for any illegal activities or access any websites that show illegal activities. The district attorney would file another motion, and on March 3, 2006, a hearing for a bail review was granted. The prosecution showed the court Chan's chatlog that showed "further contact online" and requested that Chan's bail be raised to $1 million dollars. The court agreed with the prosecution's motion, but instead raised Chan's bail to $750,000. Because he was unable to pay that amount of bond, Chan was taken back into custody by the Riverside County Sheriff's Office. On June 23, 2006, Chan was found guilty on one felony count of attempted lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 years of age, one felony count of attempted harmful matter sent with intent of seduction of a minor, and one misdemeanor count for growing marijuana in his house. On October 20, 2006, he was sentenced to three years in prison. In June 2008, he was arrested again for violating his sex offender registration requirements. Chan was subsequently deported from the United States back to Hong Kong.
