I have a small problem with this all. Those evils are most deserving of legal authorities coming down on them like a ton of bricks. They are very bad people and deserving such.

My question is where action of evil and action of legal entrapment begins or ends. Entrapment can be used against the innocent of many crimes not associated with the heinous crimes against children.

Oddly those of crimes against children once in prison are “taken care of.” That is okay by me.

“legal entrapment” is difficult. The goal of entrapment is to prove that a person is “independently predisposed to commit the crime for which he was arrested” (Cornell Law). It is unethical to force a person to commit a crime that he does not want to do. In the case of predators, police simply pretend to be young kids and wait for the poor, lonely simpletons to show up: entrapping the independently predisposed to do stupid things.

If I remember correctly, it has been determined it does not constitute entrapment if the person can walk away; for example if a man is walking down a street and a woman solicited him for sex, he can say “I’m not interested” and walk away.

Or if a guy is on his computer and gets solicited online, he can delete it.
