Police entice men from adult hookup sites under false pretenses by creating profiles or posting ads designed to make men believe they are responding to a like-minded, consensual adult seeking a casual encounter. Only after luring these men do the police shift the conversation, encouraging them to discuss illegal activities instead of the lawful interaction they were initially seeking. Our federal government has incentivized the creation of fake online solicitation cases involving minors. The federal government, along with various private organizations, provides grant funding to police task forces based on the number of cases of this type they have initiated and successfully prosecuted. It’s not about trying to save or protect children from sexual exploitation or abuse. It’s just about MONEY.
If the government were to lure individuals under false pretenses and then encourage them to engage in discussions about committing other crimes—such as murder, robbery, burglary, or terrorism—our courts would recognize this as entrapment and an example of outrageous government conduct. However, when the government lures men under false pretenses to encourage discussions about having sex with a minor, the courts fail to treat this as entrapment or improper conduct. They do not acknowledge that it is the government that initiates and creates the conversation about illegal activities, enticing men into it with the sole intention of charging them afterward.
Why is the government allowed to lure men under false pretenses and then solicit and encourage them to participate in a conversation about having sex with a minor without it being considered entrapment or outrageous conduct, while the same actions would be deemed entrapment if the conversation were about any other crime? Why does the type of crime matter? The government’s conduct remains the same—it is the government that initiates, suggests, and encourages individuals to engage in that conversation and commit an illegal act.
