Law enforcement, taking big steps Wednesday in the fight against online predators.
Attorney General Henry McMaster announcing Wednesday that more than 100 internet predators have been arrested and convicted since a law passed in 2004 prohibiting adults from soliciting sex from children online.
"They have no idea they're talking to a cop," said detective Steve Collins.
Detective Steve Collins undercover in cyberspace for the Lexington County Sheriff's Department.
"Then in progresses to do you want to view my webcam?," said Collins.
Investigators like Collins hope to find men and women targeting children for sex.
Detective Collins uses his office as a staging area for online conversations. He logs on, posing as an underage child, and waits for someone to take the bait.
"He's already asking me about sexual experiences," said Collins.
Collins is just one deputy, hoping to clean up chat rooms. State Attorney General Henry McMaster announced Wednesday that since 2004, 101 internet predators have been arrested and convicted in South Carolina.
"They're are dealing with the most perverted and determined people that live on this earth," said McMaster.
But detectives like Collins are more determined to pull those people off the world wide web.
