> The cancellation of To Catch a Predator was prompted by the suicide of one of the show’s targets, Louis Conradt, a prosecutor from Texas. Conradt was caught in a sting operation and accused of attempting to have sexual contact with a minor. > Shortly after the sting operation, Conradt committed suicide. **The tragic event** raised questions about the show’s tactics and the potential harm they could cause. Critics argued that the program’s methods could lead to people feeling trapped, hopeless and that the show’s producers did not have the right to ruin people’s lives. There's nothing tragic about a pedophile offing himself. > BY SHRISHTI BAJPAI lol Makes sense now.
