Remember The Song By Cyndi Lauper?
A 40-year-old US man jumped into his car and drove for 18 hours nearly non-stop to have sex with a 14-year-old girl.
But when Christopher Lanning showed up at the rendezvous point, he found undercover police waiting to arrest him.
Lanning, who has dwarfism, was in such a hurry to have sex that he refused to stop for bathroom breaks and instead urinated into a bottle when he set out on Tuesday from Kansas City, Missouri to the meeting point - a petrol station beside a high school in Longwood, Florida.
When he arrived at the petrol station after the 2000km road trip, Lanning's car reeked of urine.
"It was pretty bad,'' Longwood Police Department spokesman Kevin Tuck told the Orlando Sentinel.
Lanning thought he had been chatting to a teenage girl online and arranging to meet her for sex when in fact it was an undercover officer laying a trap as part of an internet sting.
Lanning was arrested on charges that included travelling to meet a child for sex and transmitting obscene material to a minor.
"I made a major mistake in judgment," he told a Seminole County judge yesterday.

i agree, there's something very wrong with the story i feel
the cops set him up and didn't actually commit a crime, or did he?
"Lanning was arrested on charges that included travelling to meet a child for sex and transmitting obscene material to a minor."
You might feel sorry for him but you'd still be glad the cops were there looking out for your kid, wouldn't you?
there was no child
and he may not of been tempted to travel... at all... if the cops didnt set the bait
& he may not have ever commited a sex crime
(and i dont have a kid) that I know of
There ya go joz, I fixed it for ya!

I also wonder the same Joz, but maybe not in this case because he had already transmitted obscene material.
Do undercover police encourage the pedophile to act out on something that might have been just a sick fantasy and not something that they would normally have taken any further than the internet?
Having said that, I do want them to keep an eye on these predators.

a fair judge would let him off with a warning, never to visit those sites and never carry out any of those fantasys otherwise if he shows up in court again for the same offence.. throw the book at him or something like that
the humiliation he's endured is enough punishment imo
