Which then leads to the question of whether using the internet to make arrangements with a 17 year old to have a sexual liason after his (or her) 18th birthday constitutes solicitation of sex from a minor under the statue Foley sponsored as a House bill.
I think that would be a really tough sell both to juries and for the prosecutors to appelate judges: if the person in question showed up for the tryst, he or she would be a consenting adult.

As an aside, I am not looking for a loophole, but when was the law go into effect about "cybersex"? Because as far as I have seen, regardless of how old this kid is, or was, there are no IM's from after 2003? If the law was signed into law after that, doesn't that shield him?

And actually the discussion of being underage could be portrayed as the parties being conscious of the law and of trying to obey it.

Either way... ABC lied and the over sensationalizing of this ordeal will be the story's death knell.
