I'm concerned that this man is discussing with the FBI the best thing to do next. What advice should the FBI give him?

Given the fact that the girl passed herself off as 18+ (and he can prove it via chat logs of her and his computer) and if a reasonable person would believe that seeing her then I would say he did nothing wrong. Otherwise people would have to start carding their dates
What I find interesting is this bit here: A senior British official said the case added urgency to legislation intended to outlaw cultivating sexual contacts over the Internet. This is plain silly, depending on how broad they make it. No more internet dating services for the Brits! [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

I saw that story on BBC news yesterday. I didn't see a pic of the girl but supposedly she's only 12, so I find it hard to imagine she could look/sound 19.
If he did think (honestly) she was after meeting her, I wonder how he never caught sight of her passport which would indicate birthdate on it. She had to show it in several airports, didn't she?

edit: actually if she had an EU passport and he had an American passport they would have gone through entirely different lines at customs. [ 07-15-2003, 03:59 PM: Message edited by: Rokenn ]

Well, if he did nothing wrong, he might just as well return to the UK and explain it to the law overthere. I say this is a bit smelly, even if she "looked" like she was 18.
