Okay, what are your thoughts on this.

Recently, the first man in Scotland was convicted over the online protection act. Apparently, this guy met a thirteen year old girl in an internet chatroom. After she told him she was interested in sex with him, they arranged to meet for sex. When he turned up at the location, it turned out the he had actually been talking to a police officer posing as a thirteen year old girl. He was arrested, charged under the online protection act and given 18 months in prison.

Leaving aside the fact that this is clearly police entrapment, do you think this was a just sentance for a man arranging to have sex with an underage girl, bearing in mind it was consensual and the girl clearly knew what she was agreeing to?
A 13 year old is far below the age that she can legally give consent. What would you wish the sentance to be if was your 13 year old daughter?
