That is easier said than done. I am assuming that you have fairly straight / normal sexual tendencies (what is socially acceptable). If that is true, you don't have much internal strife. You are able to act freely and openly sexually. Now imagine instead of finding your wife / husband sexy you find them revolting and something more perverse sexy. Now imagine for a second that is a 12 year old (I know I know that is disgusting for you). You realize that getting caught will end your career, marriage, family, branded a sex offender for life and the list goes on (this isn't a decision you take lightly). So what do you do? You go on-line and under the cloak of anonymity you find a consenting minor (yes I realize that a minor can't consent). This willing participant is not likely to tell on you and you both get what you want. This is the most benign of sexual crimes when compared to child pornography, child prostitution, forced violent rape and torture.

That is a huge assumption. You are saying that every minor that has sex with an adult is scarred for life. It is simply not accurate. There are many that are completely content with their decision. They are not being forcibly raped. They have given their consent to a random person - this is not a teacher, family member, friend that has exerted pressure on them, this is a person that they could shut out of their life by closing the chat dialog down. FYI If they are caught they serve no where near 25 years.
Most defendants avoid prison entirely, although statutory rape is punishable by up to 5 years. Only 20.2 percent of persons who were originally charged only with statutory rape and then convicted were incarcerated. In cases where statutory rape was one of a number of charges, only 37 percent were incarcerated on statutory rape charges.
Older defendants still receive relatively lenient sentences. Many older defendants avoid incarceration entirely. Those sentenced for statutory rape alone receive about half the maximum sentence on average (29.5 months as opposed to 5 years). Older defendants have a higher incarceration rate and receive longer sentences compared to younger defendants, however.
That means that you will serve on average more time for possession of marijuana if convicted that a guy that has sex with a minor.
For possession, the incarceration average was 31 months (median = 16 months) and the probation average was 42 months (median = 36 months).
The death sentence? Really? This isn't kidnapping and forcible rape with a deadly weapon. Again they are not raping anyone, they are having consensual sex which happens to fit the crime that is named "statutory rape." If the semantics were different and the crime was called "statutory consensual sex" public opinion would be considerably different.
But,I read some of the transcripts where the guys are most certainly predatory,even though the decoy acts unwilling to comply.Most young teenage girls cannot handle emotionally what a sexual relationship entails.And most men who seek young girls can't handle a relationship with a mature woman.I'm not talking about teenage girls...that should be on a case by case basis.BUT! The guy should know there are laws in place and act in his own best interest and not incriminate himself by bringing a black destroyer and some crisco.Some guys will never get past the talking phase...this is the internet, after all...but the ones that have intent, show up.I have an 11 year old.She's getting boobs, she's tall for her age....she doesn't have an email account.No cell phone.She's not allowed to chat.I don't even want to think of anyone looking at her in that way.She's clearly not a woman.Some teenagers, its hard to tell.But the guys who are seeking children, in the form of children,for sexual purposes, should be exterminated like the vermin they are.
