The law that is linked in post 678 was signed into law on 7/7/2006 after numerous activist judges struck down other attempts to create child protection laws for the internet. Previous court rulings had ruled that perverted language even to a child is just exercising free speech and there must be intent to solicit for sex in a physical setting and unless there was visual pornography involved. Until 7/7/2006 there was no real enforcible law for merely explicit language even to a minor. The problem they will have with prosecuting Foley is that anything written prior to 7/7/2006 can not be enforced because there was no standing laws (laws not struck down) to prevent it.

I really would like a link to this supposed federal law. The post in 678 only refers to definitions. Definitions define things in other law.
