Old farts trolling for young tang, on the IT, is sick.
Here's the deal with those idiots.
Not only did they make contact w/what they believed to be under-aged girls, they THEN sent porn TO THEM.
Cross that line and you're done. PERIOD. All discussion after that is moot.
But to actually put cuffs on the perv, you have to be able to lure him out, see him and then handle the puke/perv. Hence, the sting.
If you're arguing about the sting, TS. The sting is a tool to get your hands on the perv. In court, the issue will be the trolling and porn being sent to the "victim" - everything to get him into court will be (OR SHOULD BE) moot.
All we're seeing is the method of trapping the puke. You do notice that we're not being shown, exactly, what got the investigation started in the first place. That's because that's the evidence that's going to be used in the puke's trial. Show that crap on TV, and he's as free as a bird. WHY? Because you've tainted the possible jury-pool.
Any attorneys out there see anything wrong with that statement?
AustinCE, arguing about the age and method of catching the puke/perv is moot. It's what got him to this point that has his @55 truly in a bind.
And, as for his @55, I don't want it in my grandkids' neighborhood, or anyone else's either. They need to stay off the street forever, or isolated on some God-forsaken island in the middle of nowhere, with only their kind - over 18 and only one gender. Let's not even care if there's a victim on that island...they can enjoy, among themselves, what they wanted to dish out to us, in their own, private little hell. As far as I'm concerned, they all died when they went after the kids in the first place.
