Seems like yet another instance of "give up your rights, think of the children" case.

What right? The right to invite someone online that you believe to be 13 years old to have sex?

  > you believe to be 13 years old There is no evidence that this was the case here.
  - Natsu 6y ago
    That's his defense, of course, that he didn't believe this person despite them continually saying that they were 13. But if you find someone pretending to be 13, you have to be incredibly stupid to go along with them for sex, whether they're lying or not. I mean, right or wrong, you're in trouble.

      People are doing incredibly stupid things that hurt nobody but themselves all the time. Should we put these people to jail?
      - Natsu 6y ago
        If the incredibly stupid thing is trying to hook up with people who claim to be 13-year-olds, I'm going to say "yes."

Give up your rights to send sexually explicit messages to 13 year old girls online and arrange to meet them in person when they are home alone to "play video games"...? Yes.

  Let me ask the opposite. If you are trying to meet a 13 year old girl and the girl on the other side is sending you a fake picture of herself pretending to be 24 year old, pretending to speak like a 24 year old, and in general pretending to be a 24 year old except when asked how old that person is, then why on earth would you meet that person? Anyone who was interested in underage girls would want to make sure that the person they are talking to is actually underage. That guy completely failed to confirm that she was actually 13, he made the "really stupid mistake" of confirming that the person he was talking to is 24.

    She said she was 13. If you're so naive that you think this was just a silly mistake by a man who wanted to play video games with her then you're so naive there's little point in continuing this discussion. No man in his right mind continues the discussion at that point. Even a sociopath would have the good sense to end communications out of concern for his own safety and freedom, even if he had no concern for the safety and happiness of the child. You're welcome to describe to me the type of man who continues to message a 13 year old online even after she has shared her age, taking that discussion to the point of explicit sexual messaging, and arranging to meet privately where she is alone. He just wanted to play video games, right? Why not wait until the parents are home and introduce himself? We both know why.
