And if being caught by NBC’s Chris Hansen on national television wasn’t enough deterrent for perverts, Shaq is also a detective for Internet crimes against children.

“I play a little girl on the Internet,” said the athlete and entertainer. “So whatever name I’m going by, that will probably be my catchphrase. If I’m Tanya, then it’ll be something like, ‘Tanya says hello.’ And they’ll be like, ‘Tanya who?’ And I’ll say, ‘You don’t know no Tanya, huh? I’m Tanya. Let’s go.’ And that’s when the cuffs get slapped on you.”

Yikes!

That’s just what the internet is all about. You think you’re ruining the life of an innocent little girl and you’re really sweet-talking a seven foot behemoth with four championship rings. Here’s hoping Shaq catches all the perverts and gets one for the thumb.
