[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is crazy. I read the statute and the complaint, and I don't think the behavior detailed in the complaint fits the statute. I'm sure it must violate child exploitation laws, but the statute cited doesn't seem to cover adults encouraging other adults to abuse children. Am I missing something? I hope he's behind bars for the rest of his life, so please don't misinterpret what I'm saying. And I know the FBI may find evidence of other things. I'm just talking about what was needed to get the arrest warrant.

See United States v. McMillan. The Court of Appeals held the evidence was sufficient convict him because the statute extends to prosecution of adult-to-adult communications that are designed to persuade a minor to commit the forbidden acts. The Court agreed with six other circuits that have so held, declining to read the statute as narrowly as argued by McMillan. The statute not only prohibits actual persuasion of the minor, but also attempts to persuade and the best way to persuade a minor to commit an act is to enlist the help of a trusted friend, relative, or associate.
