ONLINE SEX CRIME STINGS & ENTRAPMENT

People get caught up in computer sex crimes unknowingly when their computer is bombarded by pop-ups and website spam. When Police set up an online sting by pretending to be a minor, they can manipulate the conversation and turn it into a solicitation charge or a sexual predator charge.
