...if the attempted act would have been a criminal offense...
Intending (and we'll leave aside the history of what constitutes an "attempt" in the 386 years since _Ryman v. Bickley_ was decided in Star Chamber) to have sex with a cop pretending to be 16 is a criminal act in New York State? And if the internet is involved then there's a fifteen year jail sentence federally? What a police state nightmare the US has become!
And the issue is the Murdoch use of this police state entrapment to silence an opponent on a critical political question.
