This is ridiculous and yet another demonstration of the absurdity that they try to sell as US "justice" system.

So let's summarize.

1) Guy is looking for adults on an adult page

2) Adult women(24) with an adult picture says she is 13

3) Guy probably thinks like "okay, doesn't look 13". Which arguably is stupid, given that US citizens should know how stupid the US is when it comes to minors.

4) Talks more

5) Women says again she is 13

6) They agree to meet anyway

7) Guy drives to her home and she greets him. She is obviously a grown women.

8) Guy gets arrested for child rape

Yeah sounds about right. God bless America!

So let's rewrite the story a bit:

1) Guy is looking for some mint on craigslist

2) When asking the seller why the mint "makes people high", the seller says it's actually weed.

3) Guy thinks, okay, doesn't look like weed, it looks like fucking mint

4) Guy says, I will buy this mint anyway, looks like mint

5) Seller says again "Dude, it's fucking weed, but okay"

6) Seller sells the mint

7) Guy receives the mint in his mailbox and opens it

8) Cool it's mint, smells of mint, looks like mint.

9) Guy gets arrested for drug possession

Erm what?

In the real world, that cop should have been suspended for false advertising and the seller's account as well.

Good thing the world has no other problems...
