**Brian Gosselin** was a suspected predator featured in the Fort Myers, Florida edition of To Catch a Predator. He is well-known for his bizarre hair, odd voice and creepy demeanour. He is one of the three men (the other two being Michael Wilusz and Thomas Moffitt) who took their case to trial and were acquitted.

## Biography

Brian, 32 years old at the time, chatted up a fifteen-year-old decoy with the hopes of having the decoy "show [him] god..." sexually. Throughout the chat, Brian would become passive-aggressive and angry whenever the decoy showed any signs of distance or unattraction towards him. At one point, he was so in admiration of her that he claimed he would eat dog faeces if she wanted him to.

## Sting

Immediately after arriving at the sting house, Brian scopes the place out and engages in a light banter with Emily. He comments on the size of the house and asks if the decoy is an only child, which commenters pointed out as concerning. Emily then asks if Brian brought any protection, to which he responds with *"Yeeeeaaahhhhhhhhhhh."* It's at this point Chris Hansen enters, claiming that Brian won't be needing THAT type of protection this night. Immediately upon Hansen's entrance, Brian says, "I knew this was gonna be a set-up." Hansen replies, "You knew, huh? How did you know?" Brian does not give an answer to this. When Hansen asks for his last name, Brian says, *"I don't have a last name"* and *"I'm not wanted here."* He leaves immediately, refusing to do an interview, and is arrested outside.

Due to Perverted Justice refusing to hand over the hard drives and computers that contained his chat logs, Brian's charges were dropped. Brian was, however, bound over in jail for 37 days as his case made its way through the legal system.

## Trivia

* Brian's chatlog was available to read in pdf format, but the drive has since been removed. Readings of it can still be found on YouTube.
* According to Chris, Brian changed his name to Brian King and relocated to Quebec, Canada. He was unable to obtain any contact details but is open to hearing from/speaking to him for the *Predators I've Caught* podcast.
	+ However, this information may be inaccurate, as a man named Brian Gosselin with the same birthday living in Fort Myers is listed on a Republican voting site. It is possible he divides his time between Quebec and Florida, although this is unconfirmed.
