I'm not an apologist for pedophiles, but I was wondering about the legality of the show. Isn't it entrapment that these guys get snared up in? Are they charged as sex offenders, or do they get off with a misdemeanor or something? What are they charged with anyway? They always say the cases are "pending," not that anyone was convicted, except those with prior offenses. What crimes are they actually charged with and at what point did they commit the crime? I heard one of the cops say on the show that the crime was committed when they stepped out of their house.
And just one observation...what does this show say about our society? Is it worse that there are people who would do such things, or that the so many people watch the show?
