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.
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.

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.

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.
Ohhh yeah and you were actually right when you were saying that I did not got to have a girlfriend at all during my middle school or high school sadly. I was mostly an outcast until I was in 12th grade and I also got bullied a lot too in middle school so I barely had friends. I see all those middle school and high school couples in many animes wishing I had a female childhood female friend that I grew up with so she would be the one for me by middle or high school as well. And sadly with today's dating scene, most women around my age are taken, married or not looking. The few available women that are left are honestly overweight ones that I have no natural attraction to. And many women that are adults are super picky cause they have all the options. I have none sadly. Younger girls are not as picky but they are also not as faithful as well. TOR really does not know me as an actual person and only sees me at the surface and make other people believe the same thing. It's sick, a lot of my misery I went through is cause of him and past convention experiences as well.
Hector? What it is is that TOR has an elitist perspective of the romance marketplace. He has an illusion in his head that every man on the face of this planet should fit the mold of a glittering prom king that he has concocted in his mind; and if a man does not fit that same mold, then he believes that such a man is morally challenged in some surreptitious shape, way or form. I used to work for someone like that, and everyone in my office hated having him for a boss. When he left our office, nobody wanted to organize a going-away party for him. At the end of the day, the world has become a very scary place for men and a much more promising place for women.
Yeah I completely agree man. It's trying to make it that men trying to approach and flirt with women seem like a criminal act which I hate! Cause it should come as natural that you adore women for their physical and personality features. It makes many people fear minors in general cause one false mistake with them and they will dedicate their lives to ruining your life as well.

Yeah, I always wonder what ever became of that Alisha Dean who got those two men into trouble in Florida back in 2008. The Internet appears to be devoid of any further information about her beyond that set of incidents from 12 years ago.

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