Anyone who solicits or engages in prostitution with a person under age 18 is subject to federal sex-trafficking charges. This law is so the buyers face the same consequences as the sellers.
Not that I care a pedo gets more jail time from it, but it seems to water down the difference between the two charges. I did read the articles saying that he should of been charged with trafficking before posting here. I just don't see any evidence that this person he solicited was trapped in a trafficking ring or anything like that.
This may be pedantic, but I see it as just for headline purposes so people think they are capturing the real traffickers.

Since when did he become a trafficker?

He should have been charged with it, but he got off easy.

Based on what evidence should he have been charged with trafficking?
