"in 1889 a girl could legally consent to sex at 10, 11 or 12 in half the (USA) states and in Delaware the age of consent was 7." - Text

it's funny, he would have been regarded as perfectly normal in the late 1800s. the laws have changed, but you have to assume their are still going to be people in the population attracted to kids that age.

I wonder how this kind of entrapment can be legal? 😕

Entrapment????? How did they force him to pursue sex with a "13 year old"

They create a fictional 13 year old, who is (apparently) offering to meet him for a sexual liason. How is that not entrapment?
 
Anyone else think that site looks amazingly like Anandtech?

Edit: I just read the FAQ on the site... 😱

He might argue entrapment, but it's gonna be hard to get 12 parents of young teenage girls to listen to that arguement.

The dude is screwed, literally. Bubba's gonna make him his g/f.

It's really just a witch hunt. allows the mainstream to sleep at night, now they've shoved the sex monster back in its cage.
 
how many times do we have to go through this?

ENTRAPMENT - A person is 'entrapped' when he is induced or persuaded by law enforcement officers or their agents to commit a crime that he had no previous intent to commit; and the law as a matter of policy forbids conviction in such a case.

However, there is no entrapment where a person is ready and willing to break the law and the Government agents merely provide what appears to be a favorable opportunity for the person to commit the crime. For example, it is not entrapment for a Government agent to pretend to be someone else and to offer, either directly or through an informer or other decoy, to engage in an unlawful transaction with the person. So, a person would not be a victim of entrapment if the person was ready, willing and able to commit the crime charged in the indictment whenever opportunity was afforded, and that Government officers or their agents did no more than offer an opportunity.

On the other hand, if the evidence leaves a reasonable doubt whether the person had any intent to commit the crime except for inducement or persuasion on the part of some Government officer or agent, then the person is not guilty.

In slightly different words: Even though someone may have [sold drugs], as charged by the government, if it was the result of entrapment then he is not guilty. Government agents entrapped him if three things occurred:

- First, the idea for committing the crime came from the government agents and not from the person accused of the crime.

- Second, the government agents then persuaded or talked the person into committing the crime. Simply giving him the opportunity to commit the crime is not the same as persuading him to commit the crime.

- And third, the person was not ready and willing to commit the crime before the government agents spoke with him.
