Craig blew this one.
This sucks.
The argument upholding his innocence says that he didn’t actually engage in sex in a public restroom.
In a sting operation against internet predators targeting children, they need only get the perp to make a date and show up at the agreed location. The plan apparently has to involve sexual activity of some sort. That perp also has not engaged in sex with the minor. However, it appears that the person is guilty because they have acted out the pattern of those who will actually engage in sex with a minor.
Police nets that catch men soliciting undercover cop’s pretending to be hookers also seem to rely on a behavior pattern. The men agree to a deal and they either go with the woman or have her go with them. They never engage in actual sex, either, and it’s possible that they would never have gone through with it. However, the pattern would normally lead to sex.
I can’t imagine what Craig and another man would have done in that public restroom if it had not been a police officer. Apparently, they would have somehow devised just enough privacy to engage in restroom sex. Apparently, also, the police had seen it enough to know how the pattern develop and is consummated.
“Craig blew this one.”
Well... not this one.
