...if in fact he actually solicited a minor to have real sex. I was questioning the use of the term "cybersex" in the OP-- and I still question it. Have we become such prudes that we get upset about people-- including absolute strangers-- talking about sex, whether on the phone or the internet? Can we even define such behavior as "sex" so that we can apply standards of sexual morality to it? What does that say about our standards of morality? Is calling up a "phone sex" service equivalent to visiting prostitutes, or is it more akin to reading a racy story? Even discussing "cybersex" seems incredibly victorian, IMO.
