Correct. More honorable than what's going on here. We have middle-aged male sheriff's deputies trolling the internet pretending to be 12 year-old girls luring people from thousands of miles away to be busted on federal charges that the locals don't have to jail, indict, prosecute or incarcerate.
If there is no underage girl, there was no sex and the whole thing was based on a fabrication, where is the victim and who is the criminal?
MSNBC’s “To Catch a Predator” regularly used adults posing as underage teenagers to lure sexual predators to a house where, after being exposed and humiliated, they are promptly arrested, tried, and given various sentences.
All this happened BEFORE the parents found out and took over her FaceBook ID. Presumably the "rape" charge involves their face-to-face meeting in May.
