Here's what I don't get: what crime are these predators actually committing here? I get that it is illegal to solicit minors for sex over the internet, but they aren't soliciting minors, they are soliciting people posing as minors. If a girl tells me that she's 16, we have sex, and then it turns out that she is actually 19, have I committed a crime? Don't get me wrong, I am not sympathizing with these people, they are disgusting. Legally though, I just don't get how they have broken the law.
