Internet sting operations are commonly used by law enforcement officers to catch online predators. The police pretend to be minors in online chat rooms and try to lure adults into making a request to meet them for a date, meeting or sexual encounter. This is considered solicitation of a minor, and it is a serious offense with serious consequences if convicted.
