They are truly happy families with healthy happy children living the American dream. I'm not saying this particular guy is a saint. He may very well be a sleazeball. But he could also be a very lonely guy that was just looking for a relationship and got sucked into a sting operation. Would you feel this way if the situation involved a 15 yo girl that looked like a 20 yo dating a 40 yo man? How about a 17 yo girl dating a 25 yo man?

We are not discussing other cultures. We are discussing people who live in the United States. Your forgiveness for the sting operation is what really puzzles me. He wanted to have sexual relations with a minor. Period. If he wasn't trying to have sex with a minor, he could not have gotten sucked into a sting operation.
Your reference to looking older is just as puzzling. Jon benet Ramsey looked older. Was she fair game?
