Michael Gentile was a predator caught in the Fairfield, Connecticut sting. He is among one of the oldest predators caught in the series. He is known for his unsettling voice from calling the decoy, as well as his inappropriate nude pictures which he sends.

Gentile was a 64 year old limo driver at the time that he contacted a girl over a mobile app that he believed to be thirteen, and proceeded to act extremely creepy. He mentions to the decoy that he likes to be in the nude. He sent the decoys multiple pictures, including him naked in a forest, him naked in his living room and even him on the toilet. He would also encourage the decoy to experiment in a nude lifestyle herself by asking her to try to sleep naked and to attend a nudist gathering with him. Michael even sent multiple calls and voicemails using a breathy and creepy voice calling the decoy his "sex kitten" as well as mentioning the things he wanted to do with her, such as having oral sex with her in a "69" position. He also asked the girl to practice having sex with a banana to get ready for him as well as send links to pornographic videos to educate the decoy. The chat continues for about a month.

Gentile makes the 35 mile drive to Fairfield. When he arrived at the sting house, he closes a window the decoy said she was having trouble with and immediately felt that something was off (for unknown reasons). He then decided to leave the house with Chris yelling behind him in an attempt to coerce him back into the house. Never even getting a glimpse of Hansen, Gentile closes the door and power walks away from the house only to be ambushed by several cops a few feet away from the door.
