I have no sympathy for any of the people who showed up for those stings. They were clearly there to have sex with children. The only thing sicker than that is a society that would allow lawsuits on their behalf, including the lawsuit by the sister of the former prosecutor who killed himself. Who gives a sht. He showed up to have sex with children. That’s why he killed himself. Entrapment? Maybe. But you can’t get entrapped if you don’t want to have sex with children.
I can't stand to watch these shows and have never seen more than a few seconds of one. I think it has something to do with not wanting to hear lame excuses. Exactly how young are the "children" these men think they are coming to have sex with?
Your argument migth have more weight if it were at all accurate. The man had an online conversation with the "girl" where he (according to the show) set up a meeting. He never went to the meeting. So the TV crew packed up the cameras and went to his house.
At that point, only the statements of the crew allege any wrongdoing on his part (he never made the overt act required by the law in that area). In fact, considering the DA has thrown out all of the charges against the others, the word of the crew that he committed a crime (as opposed to them suggesting the meeting, etc.) is seriously compromised.
I'm a supporter of the death penalty for child molesters. But I do think in order to be a child molester... you kinda' have to molest a child or something...
The suicide did not show up, he backed out. However, NBC wasn’t satisfied so they, along with the police with whom they had a fiduciary arrangement, went to HIS house.
