I don't know if this is funny or sad. The guy is a pedo and all but cmonnn let him get his nut.

I think everything about this show is f'd up, to be honest.

It is not in any way appropriate to attempt to take advantage of a young girl. But this kind of stuff is really just nonsensical. It is entrapment conducted for the entertainment of American television audiences.

Also, putting the girls up to this sort of thing is itself child abuse imo.

I thought the girls were 18 but just picked as they looked a lot younger.

If so, that is somewhat better. I have no idea.

I think you are right but so is Nodogoshi. The show is messed up.

yeah, the girls used are 18 or older.

i'm not so sure that shaming these guys is a bad idea though.

If so that is better, but 18 is still sort of child abuse imo.

You turn 18 and legally you are okay, but it takes time to adjust. It isn't as though on the day of your birthday, you magically cross some divining line.

If they are 20 or 21, then I would say no problem.

I don't know about entrapment though.

I think it was cancelled.

And entrapment is when the police actively influence and possibly coerce a person into committing to a criminal situation which is tied to a fabricated instance and does not really exist.

Or that's how I regard it. I'm not a lawyer, however.

That may be borderline, but I wouldn't call that entrapment. I think that if the cops set up an entire fake situation, that is entrapment though.
