I'm not familiar at all with PJ except what I've seen on the show. The guys that show up are trying to meet very young teenagers (12, 13, 14), and very few are even relatively young themselves (it's not a 21 yo trying to meet a 17 yo). From the parts of the transcripts that have been read on the show, these guys aren't looking for "love", just sex. Do they care what happens to these kids? Not even a little bit.
Is it entrapment? I don't know. Do the adults get harassed into talking to the decoys? I don't know. But I think there isn't anything someone I think is a 13 year old could do to make me have a sexual chat with them, and even less to get me to drive to their house (whether to have sex or "just talk") and I'm positive that I'd never send naked pictures of myself to ANYONE.
I've read hundreds of post on THR complaining how the sheeple just sit back and expect the police to take care of them, but people on this thread keep saying how bad it is that MSNBC and PJ should do exactly that. If PJ is doing everything being said here, then I'd expect them to be sued and/or prosecuted for it. Honestly even if this is entrapment, and the person should be released on a "technicality", I still think these guys (at least the ones on the show) are scum, and deserve to be punished. And technically, can private individuals even commit entrapment? Isn't that only for the "govenment" (i.e. the police)? Individuals can do alot of things that would get cases thrown out of court if done by the police (like illegal searches).
My local paper publishes a "police blotter" every week with the names and charges of people arrested. I've never seen any follow up to say what happens with these people. Is this any worse? Maybe since it's national TV, but the crimes are that much worse.
The Dateline show were aired months after the operations were conducted. If someone was proven innocent, do you think they'd still be shown, without mentioning that fact? I don't.
Just about everyone that shows up at the house claims it's "the first time" they've "done anything like this". Many times that's proven to be a lie. They even caught the one guy from the first show trying to meet another decoy the very next day. I just don't think these are "good people" convinced to do bad things.
