In response to your comment:

The observation that different cultures have different ideas on the age of consent does not enhance the core of your article which is about the problems caused by vigilantes who seek to entrap people in scandals.

Part of the reason that I felt that it was relevant was because these different cultures with their different ideas on the age of consent have an impact on how online vigilantes or rather online "predator" catchers are going to conduct their underage sex sting operations in their respective nations, if they decide to take their law-enforcement efforts down that road. Take the example of the Czech Republic. As the people of their nation have a different perspective from the Americans on what is age-appropriate and what should be illegal in that respect, their statutory age of consent is 15 years old instead of 18 years old. There is a television show there in their nation named V síti, which is their version of Chris Hansen's "To Catch A Predator." They have to work within the parameters of their laws. That is, no decoys posing online as a girl any older than 14 years of age. If they had a television show like this in Bulgaria where the statutory age of consent is 14 years old, then they would have to ensure that that the decoys posed online as girls no older than 13 years old.

Whenever they step outside those same parameters, they are going to have problems. With respect to TOR, he was incorrect about the statutory age of consent being 18 years old everywhere on the Internet.

Also in response to your comment:

BTW: A guy named Chris Hansen ran a program called "To Catch a Predator" in which he would entice men into a possible rendezvous with young women and then film them. Hansen had a huge following but proved to be as slimy a character as the predators that he sought to catch.

Yep. I mentioned about Chris Hansen in Part 1 of my article above. Putting it in figurative language, many people in our nation thought that he was looking to catch the Kenneth Parnells of the world when, in reality, he was mostly catching the Joey Buttafuocos of the world. However, some of the men that he caught were the Aydin Cobans of the world, and, in that sense, his television program did our nation some good in that he prevented a young girl from confronting the same tragedy that Amanda Todd did up in Canada. However, Mr. Hansen was not truly a man of honor, and it all caught up with him in the long run.

In any event, I do thank you for your post. :-)
