Dylan's U.P. mugshot

**Dylan Abrahmson** is a suspected predator caught in the **Marquette County, Upper Peninsula, Michigan** sting on *Takedown with Chris Hansen*. He is mostly known for his resemblance to actor Tony Revolori, as well as his mental breakdown during his interview and arrest.

## Chat

21-year-old Dylan Abrahmson initiated contact with a police decoy. He immediately asked what services she provided and if she did French kissing. The decoy immediately revealed her age as 15. He asked for a picture to verify her, saying he would be in Marquette between 5 and 6pm. He brought up the fact that the ad said 19, with the decoy explaining she had to lie about her age to get on the website. Unphased, Dylan said "fair enough" before making the particular request that she wear a skirt and leggings for their hook-up. He lied about his age, saying he just turned 18. He said he was "average" (in reference to his genitals) and requested a video to prove the decoy was real, expressing his concern that she was underage and it could be a scam. Despite not receiving the video, Dylan still made his way to the sting house.

## Chris Hansen confrontation

Dylan was greeted by the decoy at the front door. The two made conversation for a moment, with Dylan acknowledging that she had a bong and that he would be willing to share some of the mariujana in his car with the decoy. When the decoy went upstairs using the phone charger excuse, Dylan attempted to follow her, only for Chris Hansen to come out and stop him. Dylan immediately tried to leave after letting out a grunt but Hansen stopped him and ushered him into the living room. Dylan, frustrated, threw his hat on the ground in anger before trying to use it to hide his face from the cameramen. He once again tried to leave after telling Hansen he didn't want to talk about it, resulting in the police coming out and handcuffing him. Dylan began to cry and begged the officers not to arret him, claiming he was on his way to get a college degree and that being arrested would ruin his life. The police tried to calm him down and told him he was safe. He finally calmed down and the deputies placed him on the couch.

Dylan continued to sob as Chris questioned him. He admitted to being "curious" about whether or not anything would happen. He admitted his real age and that he was almost 22. He revealed what he studied at university and that he was only two years away from graduating. He asked if he could get up and move around but was refused. Hansen tried to ask Dylan why, with such a promising future at a young age, would he do such a thing as solicit a minor for sex. Dylan tried to use the excuse that since the decoy needed to sign up to the website with her social security number and I.D. then she must have been lying when she said she was 15. He then went on to say that the decoy looked older as soon as he saw her at the door and that's why he felt comfortable walking into the house. Hansen refuted Dylan's excuses by pointing out a whole part of the conversation was dedicated to Dylan being worried about getting caught attempting to have sex with a minor. He claimed this was before he realised about the I.D. and social security number, but Hansen once again dismissed this as nonsense. Dylan attempted to move around but Hansen told him to sit down for security reasons. Dylan banged his head against the table just as Hansen reminded him about calling his penis size average. When Hansen brought up the social security excuse again, Dylan admitted it was stupid before banging his head against the table again. Hansen then questioned how someone as smart as Dylan could fall for such a trap, with Dylan once again explaining that the physical decoy's photographs on the ad looked 19.

Dylan revealed he was going home while coming back from seeing friends in Ann Arbor. He told Hansen that he lived with his parents and tried to pull the 'consent to be filmed' card. Hansen explained that Dylan had no right to request whether or not he was filmed because he was in the comission of a felony. Hansen then became much louder and more aggressive with Dylan, driving home the fact that he was the one meeting a child for sex. Dylan called himself "stupid" and said he "didn't know," which irritated Hansen. Dylan admitted to having condoms before once again saying he was just "curious," once again calling himself "really stupid." Hansen mockingly asked if Dylan was hoping it was in fact a Hansen sting, which Dylan actually tried to use as an excuse immediately afterwards. Sure enough, Dylan revealed he knew who Hansen was. Hansen asked Dylan about his parents, who apparently worked "regular jobs." When Hansen asked if he had ever done such a thing before, Dylan pulled a face and denied it before subsequently admitting it was a fair question given the situation he was in. He did not agree to call himself a predator, however, but agreed he was "a terrible person." He said "yeah" fifty times in defeat before admitting it was "the worst mistake of [his] life." He then tried to use the "worried about her" excuse before Hansen reiterated what the chat and showing up with condoms implied. Hansen brought up the mariujana Dylan admitted to having. Having had enough, Dylan asked the police if he was allowed to leave the interview. Before he did, Dylan expressed concern about his friends and family finding out when Hansen revealed that it would indeed be on *Takedown*. Dylan declared that it would ruin his life, but Hansen reminded him that Dylan had ruined his own life. Before Dylan could finish saying what he had to say to the viewers, another suspect arrived and he was rushed into the basement.

## Aftermath

Dylan was charged with four felonies: Accosting a Child for Immoral Purposes, Child Sexually Abusive Acitvity, and two counts of Using a Computer to Commit a Crime. He was released on a personal recognisance bond and is awaiting his day in court.
