How do we feel about this case? Obviously the man committed an act of paedophilia, but is he to blame, and should he be punished when he had no clue of the girls real age, as she said she was 19?
Could the man claim entrapment? Not that the girl wanted the man to be caught...
It's an oddun.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.For obvious reasons we don't get to see her, in order to judge how old she looks, but the problem here is that if one hooks up over the Net, meets up, and immediately, on that first meeting, goes off for sex, that's a risk one will be taking. I can possibly have some sympathy for those inadvertently caught, but it's limited because they didn't check by getting to know the other person first; they just jumped at the opportunity without regard.
BTW spath, those pictures tend to look to be of underage girls, even when it claims they are not. All the more reason to not jump into bed immediately, and for older girls/women who are lucky to look young, to carry age identity (or put up with the situation).

he boasted by taking a photo, and sending it to a mate.. Not sure if that counds as distribution of underage girls.. It's a bery sketchy ground.
Naomi sorry i've only just seen your answer, as you can probably tell i totally agree.
This girl in the article is also apparently a serial runaway
OG i hear what you're saying, and proven by how this man was punished i do totally agree with you also.. Make sure the age is what you think it is. I'd rather ask a girl for ID and tell her i'd rather not sleep with a kid than go and accidentally sleep with a kid. Wouldn't you?

Some 12 year olds can easily look over 18, and this is nothing new - some of my daughters friends were definitely 'Jail bait' my wife and I used to comment on it.
I think what has failed here is that the law doesnt recognise intent. This man was on an adult dating site looking for whatever (that doesnt matter) and this underage girl connected and misled him. he did NOT go looking for underage sex and that is why I dont think he should have been jailed. He is not a kiddy fiddler and is probably traumatised by it himself especially now he will be put on the NONCE wing with the real perverts.
I think the law needs looking at. The problem is it is really not practical for 'couples' to carry passports round to prove they are consenting adults. However "dating" sites could be made to do it, perhaps that is the way but that only covers hook ups via that method.
Difficult one.
