Dateline: catching online sexual predators

For those who are clueless Dateline has been running these specials on tv for a while about how they lure men into thinking they are talking to underage minors about sex. Some of the guys actually are dumb enough to come meet up with the teens who actually turn out to be Dateline + Police. The guys then are booked and go to jail... guys who don't even show up they go pick up and do the same to.

Here is the question... do you agree with the practice? personally i think it is fine but i do have some questions on their line of questioning.... like entrapment? is it breaking civil rights of some sort...

example: some girl gets on IA and STARTS a sexual conversation with a guy on here she is 15 the guy could be 17+... he buys into the trap then is caught for solicitating sex with a minor. even though nothing took place but conversation online he can get in trouble.

that just sounds funny to me... people have alter ego's online all the time like saying "i'll shoot you"... is that now a death threat? or if someone said "911 was justifiable" is that treason/terristic act...? nothing has taken place other then the exchange of words

WHATS YOUR TAKE ON THIS???

I think what they do is good, makes these guys question who they may be going to meet and maybe scare a few from going through with trying to meet someone. But I still think its entrapment.

Agreed.

**mumbles** · 10-02-2006, 08:54 AM

it may be sick. but watching those dumbasses makes me laugh.

**B16a2 Civic** · 10-02-2006, 08:54 AM

if that was the case, then 88.6% of IA would be convicted of racism

**B16a2 Civic** · 10-02-2006, 08:55 AM

people are different online and offline, some people come out of their shell online, some people arent scared to talk to females online, but are scared offline

LOL i do fight the urge to be quiet, sometimes, fear overcomes me

**SLOWLYbtngU** · 10-02-2006, 08:59 AM

I personally think that it is entrapment...I hate answering a question with a question but what if this is the guys first time doing this....I mean not saying it is ok to have sex with a minor but at the same time apparently the "minor" is also saying things to provoke interest...Or at least I assume so. I haven't seen one of specials but know that my bestfriend worked with a guy that was on the show, who also happened to work some of the production at my church....

**Princess12** · 10-02-2006, 09:03 AM

Didn't they do one in Georgia not long ago? I do agree that the scenarios they use evoke situations of entrapment, but at the same time, it's good to know that people who are potential threats to children have been caught or the show scared/made others think twice.

**ShooterMcGavin** · 10-02-2006, 09:08 AM

all i gotta say is: GEORGE BE CAREFUL!

**Sammich** · 10-02-2006, 09:16 AM

dnt tell george, leave him oblivious

**B16a2 Civic** · 10-02-2006, 09:25 AM

im the same in both worlds, talking to people online are the same to me offline, i'll joke around with ya, shoot the shit wit ya and be real chill

Clowning- Joking around and everybody that was around was laughing..

I normally dont just walk up to people to introduce myself unless we have interacted online some how...Like after this, I may introduce myself...I would hate to go up to somebody and do the whole, "Hi, I am Joselyn (SLOWLYbtngU) *extends hand for handshake* (other person gives the who-gives-a-fuck face and attempts to smile back)

i think what they are doing is fine. in this case entrapment is all good. i mean the guys still know the girl is 15, so they should know better. it doesnt matter who started the conversation, the guy should know better than to attempt to stick his dick in a 15 year old

See that is what I was thinking too...Talking online to me should not be punishable...I think everybody does it to an extent...But actually going to meet up with the girl..Yeah that is just fucked up...Like when the guy from my church was on there I was like, "Whoa, whoa, what????"

i wasn't surprised one bit this world is full of fucked up people. and nothing is surpriseing any more. we deffinately live in a world now of expect the unexpected.

but see here is my problem w/ this...

1) there was never a 15 yr old girl, so if your lying to get you to do something bad to me its like dangaling drugs in front of a drug addict... do you think they will pass?

2) what about the guys who just talk online... technically they aren't talking to a 15 yr old, so how can they then be charged for solicitating a minor if they never pursued anything? they aren't only arresting the guys who come out but the ones that just talk online.

anyone who commits a crime should do the time, but its like the age old test of honesty... put a wallet w/ 20$ on the sidewalk see if someone turns it in or pockets the $

when you play w/ peoples minds they do fucked up shit. i bet if they did the same scenerio with people going through bitter divorces yet not w/ kids but pluging in ideas of murdering their ex; its very possible that idea will make one act upon it.

**B16a2 Civic** · 10-02-2006, 09:32 AM

**LETZ RUN** · 10-02-2006, 10:53 AM

my question is how far do they go to get them to come to their house? do they send the guy naked pix of the "fake girl" and stuff like that. I saw on one of them that they put the "fake girl" on the webcam and stuff, was she stripping and stuff? If they do go that far to bait them, I would say its probably over the line. If not then I'm all for it.

**Sammich** · 10-02-2006, 11:08 AM

LOLercopters

**ORGANIZATIONXIII** · 10-02-2006, 11:09 AM

this is honestly one of the better online predator specials I've seen to date.... hooking up with Perverted Justice and actually putting this on primetime tv to warn parents of the danger and hopefully derail many of these criminals to stay off the net, but that poses a potential threat due to them finding new ways to prey on children..

the funniest thing I see all the time on these shows is.... "I came to be a friend"
"I knew this was wrong to come out here, I had a bad feeling" "I saw your special on TV"

well guess what? I guess you didn't fucking learn..

go to jail, get pounded, serve time, get castrated, and maybe they'll think about letting you out

**Sammich** · 10-02-2006, 11:15 AM

didnt cam'ron have something like this b4

**JuicedCpe** · 10-02-2006, 11:24 AM

Supposedly these men know they are talking to a minor. They are not lured into thinking this person is of legal age and then go to meet. My understanding of it is that they "know" they are talking to a 12-13 year old. I have absolutely no problems with it that way. Otherwise I would think it is entrapment if they lead them on to believe they are of consenting/legal age.

**ORGANIZATIONXIII** · 10-02-2006, 11:33 AM

its STILL SICK man!

**Fast Shadow** · 10-02-2006, 11:37 AM

The debate on whether or not "sting" operations are entrapment has been around for years. I don't really have a problem with them if the cops are posing as buyers of illegal goods or services because nobody is forcing the sellers into doing anything they weren't already going to do. But when it comes to cops acting as sellers of illegal goods and services it gets pretty dicey, if you think about it. Anybody can be talked into anything if you're a good enough salesman. Tempting people into breaking the law where as they may normally never do anything wrong in their lives is a pretty dark road to start down.
