The decoy always admits they are underage before making plans to meet. That's how they are able to prosecute. It proves the man knew he was attempting to commit a crime. Otherwise they would have to provide an actual kid for him to meet with and attempt to bone. Instead they admit to being underage so that once dude shows up they can just nab him. Because he specifically showed up for a kid. You thought they actually used a real child as bait and BB made him seduce perverts?!lol that would be child abuse for sure. Nope it was a growup catfish. But since dude though he was talking to a kid they can still hit him with intent. Because he clearly Intended. That's why your pedo homie will loose his court case. He might die, jail is rough for LGBTQ, but even they wont put up no with maps. It will probably be a complete Homo that beats him to a pulp when he starts trying to defend his actions. Best advice to give Him is don't talk to anyone. And especially about his case, he won't get anyone's sympathy with his excuses. He will just piss them off worse trying to defend his actions. He's seriously ruined his life already. Same as if he walked out into traffic. One Big mistake can completely derail someone's whole existence. Even if he survives he will never have a career now. Cops will automatically dislike him and offer him no slack at all for the rest of his life. Anyone that Google's him will know, so he won't even be able to make friends for long before they all find out and reject him.
