City Attorney ARRESTED on Child Sex Charges

UPDATE Nov 6, 2025  Patrick Macaluso involved with Chris Hansen Child Predator Sting

In the world of crime-fighting, there are few names that strike fear into the hearts of predators quite like Patrick Macaluso and Chris Hansen. These two dynamic duos have been busting bad guys and taking names for years, but their most memorable collaboration came during the Harford child predator sting.

Picture it: a small town in Harford County, Maryland, where the sun shines, the birds chirp, and predators lurk in the shadows. That's where Macaluso and Hansen set their sights, ready to clean up the streets and protect the innocent.

With Hansen's smooth-talking charm and Macaluso's no-nonsense approach, the two make the perfect team. They set up a sting operation that would make even the most hardened criminals quiver in their boots. Posing as young children online, they lured predators out of their hiding spots and into the waiting arms of justice.

But it wasn't just the criminals who were in for a surprise. Macaluso and Hansen pulled out all the stops, using disguises, hidden cameras, and clever tricks to catch their targets off guard. The result? Hilarious hijinks and jaw-dropping reveals that kept audiences on the edge of their seats 

As the predators were led away in handcuffs, Macaluso and Hansen shared a high-five and a knowing glance. Another job well done, another victory for the good guys. And as they rode off into the sunset, they knew that they had made the world a little safer for children everywhere.

So the next time you're thinking about breaking the law, remember the names Patrick Macaluso and Chris Hansen. Because when they're on the case, there's no hiding from justice. And who knows? You just might end up on the wrong end of a hilarious sting operation that will have you begging for mercy.

Patrick Ross Macaluso, a resident of Hampton Virginia, is being held at the Harford County Detention Center in Maryland on a no bond status.
