Lesson learned: Always check ID!

If you can't trust a prostitute, who can you trust? She must have been anti gun, the 3D type, that is.Jeez, if you can't trust a prostitute to not rat you out, what's the world coming to?
Thinking with the little head instead of the big head.Seriously, this guy was obviously thinking with the wrong head. He's tech-savvy. He knows that he can't trust a web site to validate users sufficiently. Just the fact that she was selling her body through a web site restricted to 18+ doesn't mean she wasn't lying.
He had to know that. But when you're not using your brain, you can do really stupid stuff.
Awesome. 3D printed gun parts are scary even though most gun designs predate 3D printers and most WWII open bolt machine guns can be made in an average auto repair shop?

Better yet don’t go whoring about after you rub some government entities nose in poop. But what do I know.
And what about guns like the 1911, where blueprints have been floating around for many decades?
It is not that hard to go into a machine shop and make a gun.
Almost like a "victim" suddenly appearing at a confirmation hearing.....I'll submit this is a possible set-up... just based on the info in the article, if there was someone I really wanted to go away (and be discredited), and I was willing to spend lots of time and effort...
You could set someone up like this- it would take planning, and effort...
You don't even need the charge to stick, turn public opinion against him (just a good portion of those that don't already hate him)
Oh, I'm also open to the possibility he's just "thinking with the wrong head", and is guilty as sin.
But if I really wanted revenge on someone... fate worse than death being labelled a sex offender if you're not... can't get a decent job, can't see your kids (if you have some already), shunned by virtually every social circle...
What kind of spin is this? From the story:Here’s an interesting turn:

We've all seen 20 year olds who could pass for 12 and vice versa. Why would that police commander feel the need to spin the story like this?Officer told reporters that detectives believe "if someone mistakes [the alleged victim's] age it would be because they think she's younger, not older than the 16-year-old that she is."
I can understand someone who isn't tech savvy thinking that the web site through which he contacted the hooker screened for age. This guy should have known better.Clearly he should have asked for ID. My goodness what a mess.
Yeah, I'd have to say that talking to an underage girl online and luring her into having sex is one thing, an underage girl that has been prostituting herself for money is a bit different. I don't advocate either, but I don't think the penalties should be equal.Years ago members of the Portland Jailblazers picked up some women in a bar in a Salt Lake City hotel. They took the women up to their rooms and had sex with them.
It turns out the women were actually girls under the age of 18. The Jailblazers got off because the girls were in the bar with fake ID.
Common sense would be that if they're in a bar they are over 21.
This girl set up an account on a website to sell her body for sex. IMHO at that point she's an adult.
Is mens rea an essential element of whatever crime he's going to be charged with? In most of these types of crimes, it is not.This girl set up an account on a website to sell her body for sex. IMHO at that point she's an adult.
In that case, most people without lots of money and a famous name are still SOL. Yes, famous athletes can get away with it for multiple reasons. Normal folks aren't that lucky.The Jailblazers got off because the girls were in the bar with fake ID.
