I'm a bit funky about the other person's name being thrown around the boards, as well.

Sadly, it's a bit late to close the door on that one now.

True. They do seem to have yanked Bertrang's profile now, so maybe they'll get onto that one.

I know the OP boasted about his "rights" to be permitted to post on social media.

That actually has nothing to do with this site. It has to do with the terms of his sex offender registration. The Law has allowed him to be on social media sites without violating his status.

But, since the site was notified of his Sex Offender status, I hope it was the site that removed him, rather than him deleting his profile in a tantrum only to return another day.

I think he'd be saving his tantrums for hissy fits in a thread where somebody's talked back to him, looking over the last six pages: if he deleted his own account, he wouldn't be able to talk shit at people, and restraint and dignity don't seem to be his thing.

I totally agree with you that a sensible, ethical person would have reported anybody seeking to do such a thing to minors...
But playing devil's advocate for a second...
He's not in a profession where he has a mandatory duty to report, and in CA one is not required legally to report crimes (or potential crimes).
As such, when it comes to the sting set up for him, he wasn't actually obligated to report anything.
Should he have done so as a decent human being? Fuck yes.
Was he legally required to do so? Nope.
Which leaves the fact that he was forced into a plea bargain over a crime he did not commit, because the DA knew that in a trial the 'technicality' of him not actually having committed a crime wouldn't matter, because of the shock value of what he did do with Robyn, and because he just has a nasty (as is clear on this thread) personality.
I'm personally rather offended that the government would force jail time and sex offender registration when they couldn't actually prove criminal behavior, just because they find something a citizen does distasteful.
He didn't bite on the sting. Not even when offered 20 million dollars. Which is all that should matter from a legal point of view, considering that legally he didn't have an obligation to report.
We might find it morally reprehensible that he didn't report it, but once we start throwing people in jail just because some people find their -legal- behavior morally reprehensible, we can throw the entire country in jail, because everybody does something which somebody else, somewhere considers morally reprehensible... which is exactly why we have laws to define what is and isn't okay.
