A quick preface; I think all pedos are sick and should be in jail for the rest of their natural life. Now, having said that...
You've probably seen that show "To Catch A Predator" - the NBC show that documents sting operations where people try to hook up with minors over the internet. When perpetrator shows up at the house, they arrest him.
I was watching it tonight and it occurred to me; online, the "decoys" claim to be someone they are not, a minor. All of the decoys are of legal age, yet they claim to be 13-15 yrs old. Then when the predators show up at the decoys house, they get arrested for attempted sexual act with a minor.
So, here's my question: how can they be charged this way when in fact the decoys aren't minors? I mean they lie on the internet about their age and it would seem that the predator could claim he was lying too. Im not trying to defend the predators, but this would seem to be an easy rap to beat.
Are there any legal begals in the group that can explain the precedence?
Thanks!
