Corey's latest RSO mugshot

**Corey Lee Edgar** is a suspected predator involved in the Long Beach, California edition of **To Catch a Predator**. He is best known for his whiney voice, suspicious attitude and mental breakdown during his interview, claiming he was going fishing and blaming the decoy for being dishonest.

## Biography

Corey, 32 years old at the time, started chatting with a girl named “Shyanne”, whom he believed to be twelve years old. Corey starts off by offering to give cunniligus to Shyanne. After being told she was twelve, Corey presses the issue and already plans to come to her house and sends a penis pic. Corey gets spooked that she is a cop, asking her to swear to him she is not. He then makes a declaration that he would never meet an underage girl for sex, telling her he is going to report her to Yahoo, but yet he continues to chat with her and immediately asks for her address.

Arriving at the house, Corey waffles between entering the house and leaving. He finally enters the house and almost immediately spots the camera crew, which prompts Chris Hansen to come out. Corey goes to leave, but changes his mind and stays to answer questions after spotting the policemen outside as well. He tries to defend his actions by saying he made resistant statements which are not shown in the chat. Chris shows him his penis pic, which he denies being his. Corey then says he was only stopping by on his way to go fishing, to which Chris responds by saying, "Sounds like what you were fishing for was sex with a twelve year old girl!"

Corey eventually resigned to the fact that he will be arrested, knowing police were outside waiting to apprehend him. He does what he can to avoid leaving the house, even kicking back on the couch and drinking the trap fruit punch. Finally, Corey gives into the inevitable and goes outside where he is peacefully arrested. Like many of the Long Beach arrests, Edgar escapes jail time and is given three years probation, 60 hours of community service and lifetime registration as a sex offender.

## Post-Predator Activities

* In 2012, Corey would write an open letter post-arrest on the internet explaining his actions. He said he believed the girl he was chatting with to be one of his friends trying to catfish him, and he wanted to try to turn the prank back around on them, even though the chatlogs show he was the one to initiate the chat.He also spells his name as “Cory” in the letter despite his rap sheet showing his name as “Corey”.
* One of his excuses to try to get out of the situation was claiming the decoy set her profile age as "102", where then Chris grills him asking if he was coming for a 102 year old instead.
