**Daniel Peter Kelly** was a potential predator exposed in the Flagler Beach, Florida edition of **To Catch a Predator**. He is best known for refusing to let go of his keys during his arrest.

## Biography

Daniel was 45 years old at the time that he began an explicit chat with a girl he believed to be thirteen years old named Amber. He spoke about how he would tour with a rock group and attend strip clubs at the age of thirteen but was "too chicken" to do anything about his horniness. He was married and had children at the time, one son and one daughter. Daniel originates from Canada but moved to Florida years before the sting.

## Sting and Arrest

After a lengthy chatlog that spanned four days, Kelly arrives at the sting location but is clearly wary. He eventually begins to warm up to the situation but is fully scared off once Chris Hansen arrives. Daniel makes a brief run for it but is eventually caught by the police. While the police are attempting to handcuff him, Daniel refuses to drop his keys. This causes all three cops to yell, "LET GO OF THE KEYS!" in unison. Daniel smugly agrees to drop the keys, and he is thrown to the ground. Despite being fully cooperative from this point forward, one of the officers tells Daniel to stop resisting. Three condoms were found in his jacket pocket.

Kelly held out for a trial well into 2010, but when continuances didn't get the case dropped and the trial date loomed, he ended up regretting the fact that he didn't take one of the earlier plea deals that had been offered to him. At one point he even tried to force Hansen to testify, indirectly admitting to his crime by claiming a journalist who witnesses a crime should have to testify. He plead no contest to charges of attempted lewd and lascivious battery of a child and use of the internet to solicit/attempt to solicit a child for sex. He was sentenced to two years in prison and two years of sex offender probation. After being released from prison, he was later deported back to Canada, but will be registered as a sex offender in Florida for the rest of his life. It is unknown if he is on the Canadian Sex Offender Registry, as Canada does not allow RSO information to be public.

## Trivia

* Daniel was a Scientologist, but the organization he worked for is unknown. He was dismissed from his position following the sting.
* Daniel had three nicknames for his penis: "Lil Dicky," "Gertrude" (which was named after a girl from his high school), and "Peter Pecker."
* During his short time in the local jail, Daniel befriended fellow predator Todd Spikes. The two can be seen smoking and chatting with each other and Daniel even gives Todd a ride when they leave the jail.
