The postal inspector general conducts a child pornography sting operation in which seized mailing lists are used to send catalogs of child pornography videos to those on the list. Those who order from the catalog are arrested and charged with possession of child pornography. How would you use the entrapment defense in this case?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer should show that the student understands that the entrapment defense is most likely successful when the defendant is not predisposed to the illegal activity the government is inviting. In this case, that would entail discussing whether the mailing list the government used was one of known child porn purchasers rather than, say, gardeners.
