> Let's imagine all the facts were the same, but the police sent a picture of Nancy Pelosi instead. And when the poor schmuck showed up with a condom in his pocket, Nancy herself beckoned him in. Are you still going to convict him based on text proclaiming that she's 13? The girl who posted the ad stated repeatedly she was 13 years old. The convicted sex offender was fully aware he was meeting a 13 year old girl with the express goal of having sex with her. It makes no difference if the girl had posted pictures of herself or the pope. She stated she was 13 years old, the convicted sex offender knew he was 13 years old, he was fully aware he was meeting a 13 year old girl for sex, and he was caught by the police while knocking at the door of a 13 year old girl to try to have sex with her. And your best argument against all those facts is that you feel that pics people send online in dating sites are the source of truth, and all the facts all in the open, including the sex offender's own admission he was meeting a 13 years old girl to have sex with said 13 years old girl, should matter nothing?
