7. The Legal Definition Of Entrapment
A person is 'entrapped' when he is induced or persuaded by law enforcement officers or their agents to commit a crime that he had no previous intent to commit; and the law as a matter of policy forbids conviction in such a case.

If you are an adult and you knowingly go to a destination to have sex with with a minor you may be "loser" but you are also a predator and a criminal...

I have some reservations about the show because some of the perps are indeed losers but adults having sex with kids is wrong...

Most people caught in stings use the entrapment defense... It is up to the courts to sort it out...

To close, if you don't want to be humilated on tv and end up in the hooskow don't have sexual conversations with anybody under the age of consent anywhere and certainly don't meet them to engage in sexual acts...

That's just wrong...
