This is big news in my town. The police tried to use entrapment. (On one of their own)

The entrapment didn't work.

How is this considered entrapment?
If the officer had not responded to the chat, he would have remained innocent. He made the choice to chat with what he thought was a 14 year old child, thereby committing a crime. The Police Dept. in no way forced that man to break the law.
He got very lucky. I can only hope that next time, he runs into a very angry daddy with a shotgun.

Yes, and the entrapment did work. They got what they were fishing for except the prosecutors didn't do a good enough job of keeping him in the live well.

he got off on some legal loop hole and yes his life should be ruined. Role playing? come on...so this is to say he likes 14 year old girls? does he sit around playing with barbies too? please....this guy is scum and the fact he is a cop makes it even worse...

He might not have gotten away with it if the prosecutors and investigators had done their jobs properly. Whether his career is at an end, or not, remains to be seen.

No his life is not destroyed, but it should be, if it was clear from the evidence that he thought he was talking to 14 year olds. That is creepy!

Whether he's guilty or not it sets a dangerous precedent that cops can get away with sex crimes on the Internet if they use this argument.
There was one law enforcement person on that Dateline NBC special. TBH, this whole thing disgusts the hell out of me.

He's full of crap of course. He just got lucky. Nobody "role plays" and pretends to be 14 when they are an adult.

I would like the police officer to be destroyed for life and I haven't even read the report.
