Dateline NBC: To Catch A Predator

[Amnesia]

I know the men who do it are wrong but when they are chatting online to a 13 year old. The '13 year old' is an actual decoy (18+).

So when the predator talks dirty with the decoy and send indecent images of themselves, it is actually an adult to receives them.

So how can they be charged with sending images with a 13yo with intent to have sex....?

The internet

Where men are men, women are men, and little girls are FBI agents.

Well you're wrong because the same thing happens in this country too.

Think they did a similar show in ITV not too long ago. Remember one of the captures was at Euston train station

 

[Von Smallhausen]

England and Wales have laws similar to entrapment to counter acts of being agent provocateur.

It's under PACE, section 70 something I think.

Not that I condone their actions or anything like that just want to try and clarify something.

So if the paedo is 'grooming' an adult but he believes he is talking to a child he is charged due to the intent being their.

What happens in cases of statuatory rape when the offender belives the person he is having sex with is older, either through mistake or deceptioon by the child? The intent is there to sleep with someone older but that has not actually been the case.

Puutting aside the caes that most adults should obviously be able to tell just by looking at a person that they are too young.

What exactly are "intended kids"

Actually, on reflection, shouldn't you get back to class?

The paedo's thought they were chatting and sending things to kids (perhaps intended is the wrong word).

I'm actually half way through a Child Protection course in Maternity.
Pretty gruesome so far
