Dateline 'To Catch a Predator' - why do they show faces?

Question

Dateline has been running their sting operation for a long time now and I always wondered why these alleged pedophiles' faces are shown on TV and not blurred out. Do they not have to receive persmission of the target themself? Are they compensated so that they are willing to allow them to be shown?

Isn't this borderline entrapment to begin with?

Answer 1

Nope its not entrapment because the predator
came on their own free will- hoping to have sex with a minor
child..
