The I-Team internet sting helped bring down 6 internet predators. The sting caught the attention of the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency. "A statewide group aimed at protecting young people. They produced a DVD to teach kids about predators.

"Chaz Balogh with the the Luzerne County District Attorney's office worked with WBRE T. V. to set up a sting, all to help with technical questions that came about help to lure these predators to our area."

The producers also interviewed Gregory Farris, another one of the men nabbed in the I-Team sting. Gregory Farris told the producer "it was very easy to communicate with her extremely easy."
