The film is said to be inspired by Dateline's To Catch a Predator, in which adult men looking for sex with minors were lured to a filming location, at which point they were confronted with their misdeeds by host Chris Hansen; the series was criticized for its exploitative nature and encouragement of vigilante justice before ending in 2007.
