Plaintiff sued defendant NBC Universal, Inc. over the "To Catch a Predator" series broadcast on Dateline NBC. "To Catch a Predator" reports on the the efforts of law enforcement and a group called Perverted Justice to identify and arrest sexual predators. Plaintiff's brother committed suicide when he was confronted by police officers seeking to arrest him for soliciting a minor, who was actually a Perverted Justice decoy. Plaintiff asserted claims on behalf of the estate for violations of RICO and the Civil Rights Act, as well as intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, unjust enrichment, as well as for intrusion and disclosure of private facts on her own behalf.
