This is sort of why they used to have laws against entrapment, but hey, If its good enough of a justification for Chris Hansen to catch Pedos, I guess its good enough to catch cheaters, amirite?
What Chris Hansen does isn't entrapment. Busting pedos for trying to commit illegal actions isn't entrapment. Nobody forced them to speak to undercover police posing as tweens, or made them drive hundreds of miles with booze and birth control. Entrapment would be police telling you to do something then arresting you when you do it. And if you're dumb enough to get busted by Chris Hansen you deserve what you get.
Also, there's no law forcing you to remain faithful to a girlfriend. You can be a cheating sack of shit all day long, even though it's douchey it's not illegal.
Its the very definition of entrapment. Your right no one forces them to make contact but you do realize that the cops posing are extremely and aggressively seeking chronophiles, right? Its not like they are simply going to "teen sex" chat room and looking down a list. In the conversations leading up to the event they are incredibly accommodating in order to lead their targets to the outcome they want. In many of the cases it was the Cop who initiates and turns the topic of conversation to sex. This is why 23 of the cases from the show saw the charges dropped and was a major contributor to the show being cancelled. Its not a matter of being dumb enough, these people were led by the nose down a primrose path not for the purpose of catching criminals, but specifically for television ratings, and it usually IS the dumbest who get "caught" in entrapment scenarios like this.
It being illegal does not diminish its nature of entrapment. If you remove the illegal nature of it its not really entrapment any more because that is the nature of what entrapment is, trapping and tricking someone into committing an illegal activity.
And this instance is only different in the context you provided. There is no law making infidelity illegal. Honestly this girl got what she deserved in this respect. It was a matter of not trusting her boyfriend. EDIT
If she had trusted him, she would not have been testing his loyalty. And given the fact she needed reassurance in the form of testing his loyalty there relationship was never built on trust. It was a situation that she got burnt by forcing her boyfriend into a scenario that would be hard to resist regardless of if you were a man or woman (Yes, remember women cheat just as much if not more often than men)
inconsequential edit: How the fuck did I end up being the first post on both pages 3 AND 4?
