They went into chatrooms making a decoy account that clearly stated they were a child and they NEVER initiated any conversations or any sexual references. See, that's the part that isn't clear. My understanding is that they were looking for perverts. Then when they find some tell them where to meet. If they just went online and acted like normal people with a healthy sense of privacy then they wouldn't have a show. They made it very clear in the show. They said that all they did was make a visible profile of an underage person. The people that contacted them were not previously contacted. zebatov posted... It's literally the definition of the word. "Caught in a trap". The definition in criminal law is different than the colloquial definition. Entrapment is where police provoke or induce someone into committing a crime. The act of simply pretending to be a child on the internet is not entrapment. It would be entrapment if they had initiated sexual conversations with strangers. zebatov posted... Imo it should be illegal for someone underage to solicit themselves at the same level it's illegal for an adult to solicit them. It possibly is. Everyone involved in that show, including the "kids", were adults. They hired young looking adult actors for the purpose of sharing photos/appearing in the decoy house. --- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiCtAUrZbUk -- Defeating the Running Man of Ocarina of Time in a race since 01/17/2009. -- <cite>faramir77 posted [p:904842806] in Do you lik...
