I believe they trapped stupid people in this sting. I doubt that these guys were looking to rape children. What I don't understand is that how come the law enforcement has time to do shit like this but not enforcing law for real crimes committed on a daily basis!

I disagree, if they were all looking for 14yo as was reported, they deserve what they get...and probably more (prison justice will suffice)

Catching scumbags seeking children is taxpayer money well spent. I can't read the articles, they both prompt me to pay for subscriptions so nope. Tracking consenting adults however is ridiculous. It's legal there, but illegal here - oh ok - that makes perfect sense.

If someone is looking to have sex with your 10-16 year old kid or grandson and you aren't ready to send this creep up the river, then you need to get on the couch with a psychiatrist or be wearing a straight jacket. The same applies to someone else's kid or grandkid. I don't care if you post an ad to catch a pervert or the police posts an ad to catch the pervert. If the pervert answers the ad, what else do you need to know?
It's bad enough society is sexualizing our kids in the media, in our grammar schools where they are informing them of stuff a high schooler shouldn't have to hear or see, so if need to catch perverts targeting little kids---go for it. These kids will be screwed up for life if engaged with these aholes. If they ever decided that exploiting kids warrants the firing squad, I'll be first loader.

I agree that child molesters should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. As a society we should do everything to protect our children and give them environments were they can thrive. However, many of these sting operations will start out contacting men on standard adult dating sights. Adult men and women looking to meet each other. The conversation starts along those line and then the police will change it in a very subtle way. There was a big operation in Chicago on an escort site were a dozen men were charged with a child sex crime. The majority were downgraded to prostitution but those guys were destroyed by the simple allegation of being a child predator. If someone intent to molest a child I don’t think the police need to be deceptive to catch them.

based on what’s available, publicly, the case in the original post is not entrapment. Entrapment usually involves the use of threats, intimidation, or other means where the defendant was essentially forced to commit a crime. casting out some bait, and the perpetrator, biting, is not entrapment.

Entrapment is a practice in which a law enforcement agent or agent of the state induces a person to commit a "crime" that the person would have otherwise been unlikely or unwilling to commit.

Catching a person in the act of breaking the law is different from Inducing, then, catching a person in the act of breaking the law.

There's enough crime going on every second to keep police busy.
