Biographical thriller Primetime, featuring Robert Pattinson, has brought the infamous extramarital affair of Chris Hansen back into the spotlight. Chris is a veteran television journalist who gained prominence by hosting To Catch a Predator, a show where he documented his efforts to catch online predators through sting operations and other tactics. His career suffered a brief jolt after he was exposed for having an affair with TV newswoman Kristyn Caddell.

Chris even reportedly sent Kristyn explicit photos flaunting his bare body during their secret affair. The details about the dad of two and journalist's infidelity row left everyone in shock.

Chris Hansen sent several explicit semi-nude photos to Kristyn Caddell

Chris Hansen first met Kristyn Caddell in March 2011 at the VIP area of the Blue Martini Lounge in Palm Beach, Florida. They experienced an immediate spark and ended up spending the night together at a nearby hotel. Chris and Kristyn then began a secret relationship reportedly driven mostly by physical attraction on his part; however, she was emotionally involved as well. What made it worse was that he allegedly sent explicit photos of himself to her shortly after they met.

The details of Chris' disturbing act were shared by sources close to him and his mistress with the National Enquirer. The insider claimed that Kristyn Caddell received suggestive photos from Chris Hansen, which he emailed to her during the initial courtship phase. She then allegedly showed those pictures to her friends. The photographs were taken in a hotel and featured the crime reporter in a semi-nude condition. Some reports even labeled them as "Anthony Weiner-style photos."

In one of the images, Chris Hansen was in a white bathrobe; however, it was open, baring his body, with only his hands covering his private part. In another shot, he was seen posing in a bed wearing the same bathrobe and in a similar semi-nude condition. The existence of the inappropriate pictures came to light after Chris' affair with Kristyn was exposed. Regarding the explicit photos of the former To Catch a Predator host, the source shared:

"One of the images shows Chris standing in a hotel room in front of a large mirror. He's wearing only a white bathrobe that's completely open- showing off his entire chest and midsection- with one hand concealing his genitals."

According to the Daily Mail, Chris sent the pics to his then-mistress after their first night of intimacy, and later, when their illicit relationship was exposed, he was "terrified" that the images would be publicized.

All about Chris Hansen's affair with Kristyn Caddell

Chris Hansen's affair with Kristyn Caddell came to the forefront when the former was secretly filmed on an illicit date with her. The duo was caught on a romantic dinner at the exclusive Ritz-Carlton hotel in Manalapan before spending the night at Kristyn's apartment.

A source at the time told National Enquirer that "there was an immediate physical attraction" between Chris Hansen and Kristyn. The source added, "Chris and Kristyn got on so well that she ended up going back to his room at The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach - and later boasted to pals about staying the night with him."

After Chris Hansen was exposed for having an affair with TV newswoman Kristyn Caddell, she opened up about the negative impact it had on her life and her career. According to an exclusive report by Radar Online, she lost her job and was almost blacklisted from the television news industry after a picture of Chris kissing her was publicized by media outlets.

Kristyn was really mad that she had to face a more severe outcome when the father of two was equally responsible for the immorality, if not more. According to her, it takes two to tango, and it was unfair that fingers were pointed only at her because she was a woman.
