A television reporter confronted middle-aged men in a park after they hooked up with a fictitious 14-year-old girl planted in an internet chatroom.
Reporter Gill Higgins from TVNZ's Close Up said she was horrified when the middle-aged men swarmed around the girl online within minutes, asking intimate questions about bra size and making explicit comments.
One displayed a videocam of himself naked, while another chatted with his wedding photos in the background.
"We were gobsmacked," said Higgins.
Close Up returns to TVOne tomorrow at 7pm.
