you call it a "false crime" situation, which is not how I would describe it. The crimes are real

Who is the victim?

I dont see the difference between this and any other undercover work (drugs, prostitution, muggings, weapons, bribery etc).

Undercover muggings?
The difference, as I have already pointed out, is that when someone buys crack from an undercover vice cop, he's *actually buying crack*. Typing dirty words and sending dirty pictures to an adult is legal last time I checked, especially if the adult taking delivery of the dirty media is willing. Accepting an invitation to a private residence for the purposes of having sex from an adult is also legal last time I checked.
So what if the "criminal" thinks he's talking to a kid? Thinking you're doing something is not the same as actually doing it. If it is, then the powerball people will be hearing from me, because I *think* I bought a ticket last week with yesterday's winning numbers.
