Dan's Victoria Secret No More

October 24, 2012: NBC's long running show To Catch a Predator that went off the air in 2007, was famous for taping slovenly looking gents, pushing through the front door of some surburban home armed with beer and condoms hoping to get lucky with an underage girl. Don't look now, but the show apparently must go on.

The alarming news emerging from Anchorage police is that a local news reporter with the NBC affiliate KTUU has been caught soliciting a 14 year old girl online. But as Chris Hansen, host of To Catch a Predator would tell you, it might have been a decoy participating in an online sting to catch child predators.

Forty year old Dan Fiorucci, a native of Philadelphia and a two time KTUU reporter had begun an online conversation with a supposed young lady in early October. Within the first few chats, the girl almost immediately told Fiorucci she was only 14.

What happened during the following five days of conversations was as twisted, sick and illegal as it can get. 

Fiorucci first expressed concern when he was told she was only 14 on October 7. "Yikes...you're hot but you're jailbait," he responds once hearing the news he's communicating with an eighth grader.

After she coyly expresses ignorance, he tells her that if any guy over 18 "screws' around with her, he could be arrested.

But instead of listening to his own words about statutory rape, and immediately signing off and avoiding anymore contact, he increased his contacts while his sexual suggestions became more and more graphic.

"If I ever meet you, your DEFINITELY getting spanked...and then after I'm going to have your tight little pants pulled down so I can kiss the boo boo," Fiorucci wrote just twenty four hours after he was told she was only a child.

Throughout the transcript of the chats, he says she is "dangerously hot," and continues to slip deeper into a sickening pedophilia induced state.

Again, just twenty four hours after he knew she was a child, he wrote his most graphic message.

"Well it sounds like you like guys who threaten to spank you." (The transcript shows she said nothing like that) He continued. "And then kiss you on your panties. And I'm afraid I would definitely NOT limit myself to the BACK of those panties! No, the front would have to be kissed too."

If that wasn't enough, he closes the message by asking this young girl, "So would you fight back?" 

Three days later Fiorucci asks what she wants for her December birthday, and when she replies a puppy he responds by writing, "I was thinking more like Victoria's Secret."

He then sends her a link to a tight blouse on the Victoria's Secret website (picture below) and adds, "You should see what would happen if I ever got you all alone in this blouse :)" 

               Victoria's Secret Package from Mr. Fiorucci

The entire five days worth of his graphic propositions would make any parent reach for a shotgun. Thankfully his employer and the long arm of the cyber law yanked him away before he could do any real harm to any actual 14 year olds.

What is so frightfully ironic, is the show To Catch a Predator, famous for the scenes where waiting police wrestle pedophiles to the ground, aired on the same network that Fiorucci worked for. 

So Johnny, tell Mr. Fiorucci what he could win for soliciting a minor on the internet.

Well, under AS 12.55.125 you could win a Class C felony charge. But that's not all. If found guilty you face up to five years in prison and a lifetime of being labeled a registered sex offender. But there's more. You'll have legal fees, lose your job, the right to vote and the felony scarlet letter will follow you around forever. And...your tawdry story will be etched on the internet for eternity, for anyone to see who Googles your name. Quite a package.

All humor aside, this guy deserves everything the law throws at him.

And that's no Victoria's Secret.
