Im for it. they want to meet with a teen for sex and here in the USA that is considered illegal. IF preditors are so stupid as to meet with teens for sex then they deserve and need to get caught no matter how it is done.

I think of it this way - in real life I was not the first person my abusers got. Theres no telling how many those abusers got. One abuser I know went through the at the least 2 generations of victims. every female in those generations had an encounter with that abuser.

Now that the laws and so on are tougher preditors have slowed down somewhat with their old ways of getting their victims. Kids are now taught as young as 3 and 4 years old about good touch and bad touch. Because the real world upped the ante with tougher laws and education perpetrators had to up how they find their victims. With on line they have access to unlimited victims and top that off when they go into court they claim it wasn't their fault the raped that child. The children should know better then to meet with a stranger they meet on line. So not the law is taking that out of their hands by having child and teen looking cops doing right back to perpetrators what they thought was a sure thing - befriend a teen on line misrepresenting themselves as teens to gain the trust and then meet and rape them. Hey if perpetrators are going to go to that length to commit crimes then the law has to match that in order to catch them.

Bottom line the undercover teens are not th e ones setting up the meetings. The perps do. the under cover teen and cops just follow thier lead and catch them in the act. No one is forcing the perps to make a plan to meet the undercover teen and the cops are not forcing the perps to show up at the meeting with the teens.

Just like no one forced my real world abusers to abuse me.

Bottom line having sex with a minor is illegal and considered abuse in the USA.

Theres a saying here -

If you don't want to do the time don't do the crime.
