Anyone already a member of the site was already committing a crime when the FBI took it over. Anyone who found the site by searching for child pornography wasn't entrapped either because they were attempting to commit the crime before they found the website.(January 21, 2016 at 3:49 pm)Evie Wrote: Seriously wtf?
Sounds like a classic case of "entrapment."
Now if the FBI had sent people emails or posted adverts, people responding to those could claim entrapment. But not if they had a computer full of earlier child porn.
