^ You could argue that preventative measures like this are far better than waiting for actual crimes involving young children to happen though
|
Also, isn't it a done thing already for Police officers to go under cover as children to catch online pedophiles out?
|
The whole thing screams thoughtcrime to me - although it's difficult because obviously the men caught were under the impression she was real (but then again, this is an assumption).
|
The sheer volume of men they caught out though is scary

You have to take into consideration this may not be the first time they have sought out this material.
If following investigation it's found it was an isolated incident then that's slightly less unsavoury than the alternative? Compared to the size of the US and India the amount of Britons is unbelievable :/ |

Yes the way they went like Sharks to sweetie aged 10 so young. Shocking |
Yeah, I don't think the fact that the child isn't real matters.
These men sought out child pornography, one way or another, so I'd say yes they still committed a crime. People are arrested for just possessing images, not just communicating/propositioning children. Also, it says they didn't solicit anything until actually asked by these men so I don't think it's classed as entrapment of any kind. |
..it's scary the percentage from the UK, so how does it work then, can charges be made on this..?..
|
Harrowing figures but I doubt any evidence from this would be admissible in court which makes the whole thing a giant waste of time. The only people I can see benefiting from this are the peadophiles that will take more care in how they operate due to this thus potentially making them harder to catch.
I can see this doing more harm than good, good intentions but bad execution. |
I don't think they would organise such a sophisticated operation for fun.
|
..in theory, it's a good idea to trace paedophiles, but are they actually going to be able to make arrests through this..what practical purpose is the research going to have...is it not an 'entrapment' situation, legally...
