On the Internet no one knows you are a dog
Based on the arrest of Todd Genger, it must be true that a woman does not lie about her age and her intentions when she communicates with a man on the Internet. It must be true even after the woman admits she lied about her age and her intentions.
The hapless Genger is now awaiting prosecution after his arrest by the thought police. Would he face arrest and prosecution if the woman he met on the Internet were, in fact, a 15-year-old who claimed she was 21?
According to the aritlce: "The investigator was posing as a 15-year-old and made it clear "she" was underage, said Lucien Chalfen, a spokesman for the district attorney."
On the Internet, how does a person "make it clear" she is 15? How can claims be "clear" if the claimant is, in fact, lying? This method of crime fighting looks like a wildly abusive form of entrapment.
DA: Goldman Sachs lawyer Todd Genger caught soliciting '15-year-old'

Todd Genger, a lawyer with Goldman Sachs, is accused of soliciting a 15-year-old girl for sex.
A lawyer for Wall Street powerhouse Goldman Sachs was caught in a sting operation aimed at perverts who solicit young girls for sex, officials said Tuesday.
Todd Genger, 33, is accused of trying to lure an underage teen with explicit chat on the Internet and then traveling to Westchester to consummate the cyber-affair.
In reality, the "girl" Genger was chasing was an undercover investigator posing as a teen in the chat room, the Westchester County district attorney's office said.
Genger, a Manhattan resident who is married and has three children, was snared after a series of Internet conversations that began April 13 and ended Monday, officials said.
The investigator was posing as a 15-year-old and made it clear "she" was underage, said Lucien Chalfen, a spokesman for the district attorney.
Genger did not respond to telephone calls.
He admitted to participating in the online conversations about the intended tryst, which included "specific explicit sexual acts," Chalfen said.
At his arraignment on charges of trying to disseminate indecent material to a minor, Genger was released on his own recognizance pending an Aug.11 court date.
He faces 1-1/3 to 4 years in prison, if convicted.
