If a person sends messages to a minor through the internet and is convicted with Felonious Activity with a minor, should he or she have to pay $5000 and spend 3-9 years in jail?
Or is there already a law like this?
Would this law work? Why/why not?

There are many laws in place like this. Some of the problems include: collecting good evidence, chat logs and emails can be forged / faked. Other problems include jurisdiction, if it occurs across police boundary lines the state troopers have to get involved. If it occurs across state boundaries, the FBI has to get involved.

I think they should have the same penalties that any other type of predator would have. They're committing the same crime, just using a computer to do it.
