Wife posed as girl in online trap

[Xamonas Chegwé]

A suspicious wife posed as a teenager online to catch her husband propositioning girls in a chatroom, Cardiff Crown Court has heard.
Cheryl Roberts, 61, pretended to be a 14-year-old girl and was asked by David Roberts, 68, to meet for sex.
Roberts admitted engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child and making and possessing illegal images.
He was given a three-year community order and banned from having access in person or online to under 18s.
The couple have now split up and are getting divorced.

I read this online whilst doing my ICT work I actually laughed he must have been so embarrassed.

He does look the type, doesn't he?

Why don't the police just lock up anyone that looks like that - they're all at it!

[Mallardz]

That's an abserd thing to say you can't lock people up based on looks some fascist or racist bastard would end up locking up all teenagers. I never break the law!! Except maybe drinking in public but no one knows about that and we're relatively calm about it not running up streets naked singing swing low sweet chariot.

Isn't that entrapment?

I think only if the police do it?

I say good on the wife- guts and gumption!

Seeing as he's admitted to engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child, I hardly think it matters.

If she actively sought him out and enticed him, it might be. But entrapment is tough to prove. He'd also have to prove that he wasn't predisposed and had prior activities that were actionable.

Even if it were, she didn't 'entrap' the indecent images of young girls onto his puter, did she?

Police use that tactic all the time. The courts have okayed it. It's equivalent to a cop pretending to be a hooker. (And may those cops burn in hell for getting a poor guy excited . . .)

Now, where were we?

Fair points by all.
